Lincoln D. Faurer was a Lieutenant General and the Director of the National Security Agency (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.
