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

        An animal dealer & a noted animal importer both asked Dulles for help getting @USTreasury permission to bring Chi Chi the giant #panda to US. Several US zoos were interested in giving Chi Chi a home, including the @BronxZoo.

        Dulles put his aides to work on the #panda problem to include his assistant, who was soon nicknamed the "Vice President of Pandas” by his colleagues.

        10 JAN 1958 Dulles received @USTreasury decision: allowing Chi Chi to enter US would be “a serious departure from the basic policies.” The #panda matter was closed. http://bit.ly/2CZBHOX  (PDF)

        There's Only One World and Only One Leader in this World:USA. May God bless the Most Powerful Nation of the World where God is not ashamed to be called God! Our Relationship with China is a matter of complexity.

        Hey wasn’t that also the guy that authorized the MK Ultra experiments... where unwitting American and Canadian Citizens were subjected to mind altering drugs to experiment with mind control?
