The President has sent Kim Jong Il a letter.

Bush sent the letter to the North Korean leader on Dec. 1. The same day, he also sent similar letters to the other nations involved in the six-party nuclear talks reiterating his desire to resolve the nuclear standoff with the communist regime. The White House would not disclose copies of the correspondence. “He sent a letter to Kim Jong Il that urged the North Koreans to fully declare their nuclear programs, as called for in the September 2005 six-party agreement,” Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said Thursday.
