Crowds at Washington Zoo bid farewell to beloved pandas as deal with China expires after 5 decades

On The Scene: Crowds gathered in Washington on Tuesday (November 7) for a chance to say farewell to the National Zoo's three giant pandas who are due to return to China imminently. The zoo's giant panda program began in 1972, when Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai loaned two pandas to the United States soon after President Richard Nixon's historic visit to China that year. The zoo's current pandas will be going back as the Smithsonian Institution's current agreement with the Chinese government expires.
