Decision Brief No. 93-D 76 1993-09-09 centerforsecuritypolicy.org Item: Grand Jury Investigation into Allegations that Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown Was Paid $700,000 to Lift the Trade Embargo A federal grand jury is investigating charges by a former Vietnamese official and businessman, Binh Ly, that Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown received $700,000 from the Vietnamese government shortly before he took office. The alleged purpose: to effect a prompt lifting of the trade embargo against Hanoi. According to U.S. News and World Report, Secretary Brown -- who dismisses the allegations as "ridiculous" -- has nonetheless retained a former federal prosecutor who served in the Justice Department's Public Integrity section to represent him in this matter. At the very least, until this matter is resolved, any decision by President Clinton to lift the embargo would be unseemly, not to say suspicious. * * *
