                                                <p>In 1975, the Agency convened a rare series of conversations
between an eccentric cast of characters representing a wide range of
perspectives within the contemporary social, political, and cultural
milieu. <strong><em>The ARPANET Dialogues</em></strong> is a serial
document which archives these conversations. Even more unusual perhaps
was the specific circumstances of the conversation: taking advantage of
recent developments in telecommunications technology, the conversation
was conducted via an instant messaging application networked by
computers plugged into ARPANET, the United States Department of
Defense's experimental computer network. All participants in the
conversation were given special access to terminals connected to
ARPANET, many of them located in US military installations or
DOD-sponsored research institutions around the world. Excerpts from each
session will be published as they become available.</p><p><br> </p>
