  Lincoln Laboratory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MIT Lincoln Laboratory, also known as Lincoln Lab, is a federally funded research and development center managed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and primarily funded by the United States Department of Defense.
The summer study recommended the establishment of a laboratory, named Project Lincoln, (later renamed Lincoln Laboratory) to be operated by MIT for the Army, Navy and Air Force.
The name "Project Lincoln" was chosen because the Laboratory sits near the towns of Bedford, Lexington, and Lincoln, and the names "Project Lexington" and "Project Bedford" were already taken by other DOD efforts.

 Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Opinion / Op-ed / MIT's role in missile test fraud
Since Lincoln Laboratory had been deeply involved in early analysis of the IFT-1A, and has special national status as a federally funded research and development center, it was in a unique position to evaluate all the evidence uncovered by the federal agents.
MIT's response during this period was at first to deny that it had oversight responsibilities for the report, then, in July 2002, to produce an interim inquiry report, reviewed by MIT's lawyers, that praised the work done by Lincoln and concluded: "The good news is that the management and culture of the Lincoln Laboratory.
MIT's continuing excuses for not investigating this matter and its attempts to evade its responsibilities represent a serious violation of the public trust and the most basic principles of academic integrity.

 Provost Denies Postol’s Request for ABM Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
Brown’s denial of Postol’s request focused on whether MIT has a responsibility to pass judgement on the document, which was commissioned in 1998 by the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) to independently review allegations of fraud in a June 1997 test for the Pentagon’s missile defense system.
Several MIT officials gave varying explanations of the criteria used by Brown to decide that the POET study is a “government, not MIT, document” in his letter to Postol.
If MIT was responsible for the accuracy of the document by contract, then MIT is responsible for correcting the multiplicity of errors in the document, if MIT knows the document is in error,” Postol said.

Taylor had three different terminals in his office, connected to three different computers which DARPA was funding: one for the SDC Q-32 in Santa Monica, one for Project Genie at the University of California, Berkeley, and one for Multics at MIT.
At the end of 1966, Taylor brought Larry Roberts to ARPA from MIT Lincoln Laboratory to head a project to create the network.
Roberts had some initial experience in this area: two years previously, in 1965, while at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, he had connected the TX-2 to System Development Corporation's Q-32 over a telephone line, conducting some of the earliest experiments in which two computers communicated that way.
