First line
We need at the outset to distinguish this book from an earlier report we wrote on the history of IPTO, A History of the Information Processing Techniques Office of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Minneapolis, Minn.: Charles Babbage Institute, 1992), researched and written under a contract issued by the Department of Defense (NASA-Ames Research Grant NAG 2-532, subcontract USC/PO 473764).
