In January 1946 industrialist Donald Douglas approached the Army Air Force
with a plan for government and industry to work together on long range
strategic planning. This was called Project RAND, a name coined by Arthur
Raymond from Research ANd Development. Much of their first government money
went to the von Braun team. [McDougall, Walter al. ..."the Heavens and the
Earth, A Political History of the Space Age," Basic Books, New York, 1985,

(Note: RAND Corp. was also involved in expanding some of the upper levels
of the Dulce, New Mexico underground biogenetics research facility,
according to Thomas Castello. - Branton)
