The Clinton administration sent word this week to the government of the former Soviet republic of Georgia disavowing a controversial business venture being pursued by Tony Rodham, the brother of first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, and urging officials there not to let the issue drive a wedge in relations with the United States.
A National Security Council official, acting on behalf of national security adviser Samuel R. “Sandy” Berger, called the Georgian Embassy here on Tuesday to emphasize that President Clinton was opposed to his brother-in-law’s involvement in a plan to export hazelnuts from Georgia but that his requests that Rodham drop the business were not followed, according to NSC spokesman James Fallin.

Rodham’s hazelnut venture—which he once said he was dropping but has since revived—has caused political problems for Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze, a staunch U.S. ally. This is because the first lady’s brother has been closely linked with one of Shevardnadze’s chief rivals.
