1950s: US prohibited import of goods originating in or passing through Communist China. There were rarely any exceptions, even for #pandas.

1958: an animal dealer & a noted animal importer both asked Dulles for help getting
@USTreasury permission to bring a giant#panda to US. -
Dulles put his aides to work on the
#panda problem; his assistant was soon nicknamed “the Vice President of Pandas” by his colleagues. -
@USTreasury decision: allowing Chi Chi to enter US would be “a serious departure from the basic policies.” The#panda matter was closed. -
Chi Chi the
#panda eventually went on to live at the@zsllondonzoo & was also the inspiration for the original@World_Wildlife Fund logo. - 1 more reply
