>What does "USG" stand for?

"UNIX Support Group", one of the previous official agencies within
AT&T tasked with providing supported releases of UNIX for AT&T's
own use.  I think the UNIX Development Laboratory was a direct
descendant of USG but I could be mistaken; I have enough trouble
keeping track of the Army's internal reorganizations without
having to track AT&T's also.
