 The agency began as the Office for Coordination of Commercial and Cultural Relations between the American Republics (OCCCRBAR) and was formally placed within the [[White House|Executive Office of the President]] by Executive Order 8840, signed July 30, 1941, by President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]. The office was renamed the Office of Inter-American Affairs (OIAA) by Executive Order 9532 on March 23, 1945, under incoming director [[Wallace Harrison]], and dissolved by Executive Order 9710 on April 10, 1946, effective May 20, 1946, when all remaining functions and subsidiary corporations were transferred to the [[State Department]].[^2]
 
-The CIAA spent approximately $140 million between 1940 and 1946, far beyond its initial $3.5 million authorization. By 1942 its annual budget had reached $38 million with 1,500 employees. The agency produced radio broadcasts throughout Latin America, subsidized press access to CIAA-controlled newsprint, produced newsreels, political cartoons, and films, and published the monthly magazine *En Guardia* (750,000 copies per issue at peak circulation). The operation was staffed by American corporate executives and coordinated with the Rockefeller family's business interests in the hemisphere.[^3]

 ### Early Connections
 [[Hal Puthoff]], a key figure in the [[Stanford Research Institute|SRI]] remote viewing program, had previously fulfilled his military service as a Navy officer at the NSA at [[Fort Meade]] in the early 1960s. He earned a Pentagon commendation for his work towards a future generation of high-speed optical computers.[^1]
 
-While the NSA's direct involvement in psi research was initially limited, it became a significant customer of the [[STARGATE PROJECT|Grill Flame]] program. The agency tasked remote viewers with various intelligence collection missions, demonstrating a pragmatic interest in the potential of psychic abilities.[^1]

 *   Soviet Bug Detection: In 1980, an NSA liaison officer tasked [[Joe McMoneagle]] with locating a Soviet surveillance bug in a U.S. consulate. McMoneagle not only pinpointed the bug's location but also identified a Soviet listening post across the street and, surprisingly, an American NSA team counter-surveilling the Soviets.[^1]
 *   Typhoon Submarine: The NSA was also a recipient of Joe McMoneagle's remote viewing data on the new Soviet Typhoon-class submarine. Despite initial skepticism from some within the NSA, McMoneagle's detailed descriptions of the submarine's construction and features were later confirmed by satellite photography.[^1]
 
 ### Security Concerns and Later Involvement
 
-The NSA was at the center of the "Sugar Grove incident" in 1973. After [[Pat Price]] and [[Ingo Swann]] accurately remote-viewed a secret NSA facility in Sugar Grove, West Virginia, a security investigation was launched, highlighting the potential vulnerabilities of highly classified sites to psychic penetration. Despite this, the NSA later became directly involved in tasking remote viewers at both SRI and Fort Meade.[^1]

 The [[U.S. Navy]] is the maritime warfare service branch of the [[United States]]. In the context of the *Remote Viewers* narrative, the Navy was involved in early rumors of a telepathy project with the USS Nautilus submarine, though this was later debunked as a fabrication or disinformation ploy.[^1]
