A search is made for anisotropic X-ray bremsstrahlung photon production from relativistic electrons by studying the heliocentric angular dependence of 53 flares detected at energies above 300 keV. No evidence is found for a higher rate of detectable flares near the limb at the 80 percent confidence level. This result implies that the X-ray directivity as defined by the ratio of photon intensity at 75 deg and 0 deg of heliocentric angle is less than 1.5 above 300 keV and strongly rejects any flare model predicting X-ray production from a radial 'beam' of energetic electrons.
