Staff D
Staff D was a CIA office specializing in small-scale SIGINT collection that worked closely with the Office of Technical Service and conducted wire-tapping and communications interception operations during the Cold War.
Staff D was a cryptically named office within the CIA specializing in small-scale signals intelligence collection. It often worked closely with the Office of Technical Service (OTS). The chief of Staff D was Ed Rogers, who was initially skeptical of incorporating psychic intelligence into operations due to the "giggle factor."1
Norm Everheart was appointed as a liaison to Staff D, with the task of informing both offices of each other's activities and potential collaborations. Everheart encouraged Staff D to consider how remote viewers, particularly Pat Price, could assist their operations. Despite Price's impressive demonstrations of remote viewing accuracy, Rogers ultimately decided against using psychic intelligence for high-stakes operations, opting for conventional technical means instead.1
Staff D was later known as the Office of SIGINT Operations.1
