Larry Roberts

DARPA/IPTO program manager whose own oral-history testimony — quoted in Eric Gilliam, "A Note on the Changing Faces of (D)ARPA" (Good Science Project, 2025) — independently corroborates a pattern the vault had only seen from Paul Werbos's side: after the 1969 Mansfield Amendment, DARPA program managers were "careful to justify projects with specific military applications in mind," pushed toward "more development work compared to the research work." Real, named, and load-bearing to a cross-domain bridge between the vault's AI-history and science-funding-politics clusters — hence the hub, on a one-source-so-far footing (see the flag in claim-darpa-crisis-warning-pressure-on-werbos-matches-roberts-account that his words arrive here secondhand, via Gilliam, not his own transcript).
