J. C. R. Licklider
J. C. R. Licklider was the first to sell what would be considered today as the first personal computers (PCs) to the CIA and the NSA.

"'It really wasn't a command and control research program. It was an interactive computing program. And my believe was, and still is, you can't really do command and control outside the framework of such a thing.'"
"ARPA's initial Command and Control Research budget was $10 million."
"As Lick saw it, ARPA's primary mission was to throw money at engineers who could build the underlying computer components that a modern command and control system required."
"He bankrolled projects on interactive computing and time sharing, graphical interface design, networking, and artificial intelligence at MIT, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford, and the RAND Corporation."
"He would use ARPA's budget and influence to push the computer industry into a new territory, one that aligned with his vision and the needs of the defense establishment."
"The long-term research contracts the ARPA Command and Control Research division handed out to research teams helped seed the creation of independent computer science departments...
"There is no doubt that Licklider's computer research at ARPA was intimately bound to the agency's expanding counterinsurgency mission."
"This computer framework would have a few basic underlying components. It would be easy to use and have an intuitive graphical user interface, feature a universal operating system and programs that could be loaded onto it, and, most important,...
1962 "Going forward, his work at ARPA was part of the military's larger counterinsurgency efforts and directly overlapped with William Godel's Project Agile."
1962 "In 1962, after a brief job interview at the Pentagon, Lick moved his family from Boston to Washington, DC, and went to work building ARPA's Command and Control Research program from scratch."
1962 "The symposium took place just as Lick was starting his job as head of ARPA's Behavioral Science and Command and Control Research divisions."
1962? "What ARPA needed was to develop a universal and standardized computer and networking platform that could be modified with minimal effort to handle just about any task: missile tracking, behavioral studies, databases, voice communication,...
1963 "Records show that as early as 1963, Lick's Command and Control Research division was sharing and intermingling funds with William Godel's Project Agile."
1963-? ARPA's Great Intergalactic Network
1964 "In 1964, two years after coming to ARPA, Lick decided that he had fulfilled his mission of getting the agency's Command and Control Research program up and running."
1966 "Lawrence Roberts was twenty-nine years old when he reported to duty at ARPA's Command and Control Research division inside the Pentagon."
