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.
