Lincoln D. Faurer
Faurer's interest led him to assign the remote-viewing unit at Fort Meade a dozen new tasks in April 1982.
Lincoln D. Faurer was a Lieutenant General and the Director of the NSA (NSA). In the spring of 1982, he was given a briefing on the U.S. Army's Remote Viewing program, and he saw extrasensory perception as a form of signals intelligence with potential operational value1.
Faurer's interest led him to assign the remote-viewing unit at Fort Meade a dozen new tasks in April 1982. His support was crucial for the program's survival, as it provided the necessary operational requests from the military and intelligence services1.
INSCOM's chronology of its remote-viewing project records "LTG Faurer, Director NSA, briefed" on August 5, 1982; General Albert Stubblebine came to INSCOM's own briefing of September 27, 1982, straight from a visit to Faurer and "told us about NSA's position"; and the Center Lane manager noted a "5 December 1983 briefing of Lieutenant General Lincoln D. Faurer, Dir., NSA," which "was a decision briefing for NSA involvement in the field" at which INSCOM's project would not be presented.2
