"It's under intensive review, and hopefully we will be having a decision on that in the near fu ture," Christopher told a news briefing. He was commenting on re ports that senior Clinton advisers met last week and recommended a step that could lead to at least a partial lifting of the U.S. trade embargo against Vietnam. France and other leading IMF member countries put off the loan decision at U.S. request last April. The fund has over 170 member countries. The U.S. position is most influential, but decisions are usually by r consensus and some times by weighted voting. The April postponement came after a Russian document sur faced that suggested Hanoi held back hundreds of U.S. prisoners of war after declaring all had been been released in 1973. The U.S. administration later cast doubt on the accuracy of the Russian document and credited Vietnam with increasing coopera tion in resolving the MIA-POW issue. Such cooperation is a U.S. condition for normalizing trade and other relations with Vietnam. Decisions by the IMF and oth er international institutions to lend to Vietnam could increase pressure on the U.S. administra tion to permit American business to begin normal trade and invest ment with Hanoi. American companies have ex pressed concern that overseas competitors already have got the jump on them in developing the Vietnamese market. little Caesars Qg?; Pizza! Pizza! TWo great pizzas!

'I don't want no favors or nothing' Possible half-brother says he just wants to meet Clinton THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The man who contends he is Bill Clinton's half-brother said Tuesday he is not try ing to cash in on his family ties, but would be "very honored and very privileged" to meet the president. Making a round of network television news shows, Henry Leon Ritzenthaler and his wife, Judith, said they were shocked by the media's interest in their story. "Quite frankly, we would have rather kept it in the family," she said. The Ritzenthalers said they wrote Clinton a year ago to learn about Clinton's family history because the California man has heart trouble. "That's our main reason for doing it and that's our main goal to this day," Ritzenthaler told CNN. Clinton did not respond to the letter, but the couple said they assumed Clinton was too busy. Ritzenthaler said he would like Clinton to ac knowledge that they are related. "I know he's my half-brother. I know he is in my mind, my own heart. I hope he reaches the same idea," he told CBS. "I don't want nothing from Mr. Clinton at all. I don't want no favors or nothing." He later told CNN, "I'm not here for any personal Travel prices decline. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Imagine visiting the same vacation spot as last year, only to find that eating out costs up to 45 percent less, hotel rates have plunged and the price of getting there is down 25 percent. Think London, Paris and Milan. Thanks largely to a sharp in crease in the dollar's value, the cost of vacationing in Europe has plummeted, and industry experts predict the savings will lure American tourists in droves. An airfare war may be an added boon to travelers. Strengthened by economic stagnation abroad and currency devaluations by European gov ernments, the dollar has surged by up to 40 percent against Euro pean currencies from last Septem ber's lows. In the past two weeks, the dollar has rallied an additional 5 percent to 7 percent to its high est levels since mid-1991. gains. I don't want any money out of it — just a chance to meet him and say, 'Hi.' That's all I want to do." Clinton tried to call Ritzenthaler on Monday, bul the retired janitorial service owner from Paradise, Calif., was en route to New York for the television broadcasts. White House aides said they did not know if Clin ton tried again Tuesday. "I'd be very honored and very privileged to talk to him," Ritzenthaler told ABC. Ritzenthaler, 55, says he and Clinton, 46, have the same father: W.J. Blythe. Blythe, died a few months before the future president was born, and about nine years after Ritzenthaler's birth. After Blythe died, Clinton's mother remarried and Clinton took the name of his first stepfather, Roger Clinton. Until now, media accounts of Clin ton's humble upbringing have said he was Blythe's only son. Ritzenthaler became a media celebrity after The Washington Post reported Sunday that records sho" Blythe married Adele Gash Coffelt in Decembei 1935, about 11 years before Clinton's birth. The con pie divorced a year later, then Ritzenthaler was born Jan. 17,1938. now time to vacation the next month. While last year's round of fare cuts was limited to domestic ticket prices, this year's sales are expected to extend to overseas routes as well. The cost of flying overseas has already fallen. A roundtrip flight from New York to Paris costs $768 compared with more than $900 last summer, and $950 from San Diego to Madrid, down from $1,250. The combination of cheaper ah fares and other prices may help shake the United States from the travel slump triggered by the Gulf War three years ago and pro longed by the stubbornly slotf economic recovery. The number of American tourists in Europe is expected to climb to as high as 7.5 million this year, an increase of 7 percent from 1992's 7 million, according to the European Travel Commission That would match the all-time record set in 1990 for U.S. travel ers to Europe. That means U.S. travelers will pay about 45 percent less for din ner in Rome compared with last September's prices. And a tourist class hotel room that cost $100 a night last summer, will cost about $70 this summer. In Madrid, a meal with wine at a leading restaurant costs about $55, down from $70. Luxury seekers in London can stay at the Dorchester Hotel for less than $400 a night including breakfast, compared with $542 last September. They can down a pint of beer for $2.25 — about 75 cents less than last year. In Finland, once one of the most expensive European destinations, a dollar now fetches about 50 percent more than it did last summer. A light meal and beverage in Helsinki runs about $5. A one-week vaca tion in a farmhouse in the Finnish countryside costs as little as $345 a person, including meals.
