Messrs. John Seago and 
D. Anthony Parkinson June 1, 1968 
A Dr. David Challinor, Deputy Director of International 
Activities of the Smithsonian Institution, will be in Africa 
the latter part of June. I have given him your phone number 
and requested that he come out and see your compound. One 
of his programs is the use of excess U.S. currency in foreign 
countries, such as the project we are now doing in Ceylon on 
the elephant. I do not know exactly how he can help us but 
he is a good man to have on our side. He will be visiting 
the American Ambassador. 
Relative to the Eland business in Brazil, Mr. John Perry, 
the Assistant Director of the National Zoological Park, (he 
took over after Lear Grimmer retired) has been in correspondence 
with Dr. Anderson. As we get the picture, there are two sepa~- 
rate and distinct projects oriented toward Eland ranching in 
Brazil--Dr. Anderson who is working through some sort of an 
economic advisory commission from the U.S.A. and a Brazilian, 
Paulo Nogueria-Neto, These gentlemen have not knowof each 
other until John Perry told them about one another. I presume 
the distances are far enough apart in Brazil that this is like 
a man in Chester not knowing what a man in Marseillaise is 
trying to do in the same area of endeavor. 
The Brazilian Government has very stringent importation 
regulations reputed to be as tough or even tougher than the 
United States. As we gather the story, Dr. Anderson has given 
an order for Elands to Alton Freeman who will try to bring 
in wild-caught animals to the U.S. Quarantine Station at 
Clifton, New Jersey, following the same quarantine procedure 
required for entry into the United States and then transship 
the animals to Brazil. | 
T had a talk with Dr. Claud Smith. He stated that ac- 
cording to the laws, the way they are presently interpreted, 
it will be impossible to bring in animals through the U. &. 
quarantine facilities for another country, even if the other 
country requested it. There are many changes that can take 
place. At the present moment if Alton Freeman is going to 
get Elands for Dr. Anderson, it looks as if they are going
