A lawyer for Burma’s detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi says
she has been informed of the upcoming visit of two senior U.S.
officials and is preparing to meet them.

The U.S. State
Department said Friday that Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell
and his deputy, Scot Marciel, will visit Burma for two days next week
(November 3 and 4). Spokesman Robert Wood says the two will meet with
members of the government as well as the opposition, including Aung San
Suu Kyi.

Her lawyer, Nyan Win, who also is a spokesman for the
opposition National League for Democracy, told reporters Saturday that
the U.S. embassy in Rangoon is making arrangements with the party for
the meeting.
