U.S. moves
toward lifting
embargo on
Vietnam trade
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - President
Clinton's administration is con
sidering ending U.S. opposition
to loans to Vietnam by the Inter
national Monetary Fund and oth
ers, Secretary of State Warren
Christopher said Monday.
"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.

'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

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.
Some travel experts predict an
other saving for tourists within
