Say what? The mouse? Douglas C. Engelbart did that Stanford Research
Institute, and according to:

    http://sloan.stanford.edu/mousesite/1968Demo.html

which is a wonderful thing to have online (the very famous public demo they
did at the 1968 Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco) their
support included ARPA. More details here:

if you care. Of course, Doug may have had the idea before the ARPA funding
arrived - I think he was funded by the Air Force before that - but it doesn't
appear in his 1962 paper, "Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual
Framework".
