[Barrett808]

WASHINGTON - President Bush plans to name John Negroponte, the United States' current ambassador to the United Nations, as the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, an administration official said Monday.

The president planned to make the announcement in the Oval Office later Monday, the official said.

Bush had recruited the 64-year-old Negroponte from the corporate world to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

In New York, Negroponte, a career foreign service officer, worked to help win agreement on expanding the mandate of an international security force in Afghanistan after the overthrow of the Taliban government.
