SUBJECT:
Interim Response
(U)
CL-1G14/8304/01
The information provided as an enclosure
to this report was obtained
in direct response
to a collection requirement provided by your office.
The information
is from an unconfirmed source,;
therefore,
caution
is
warranted
in its use.
The material which you will now review has been
acquired from
a totally new and potentially valuable source of intelligence.
Work
is currently being conducted
to establish ways by which to improve
the accuracy, and reliability
of the data.
Your attention
to
a preliminary
evaluation,
and later
a
final evaluation,
will be
the basis
for our
assessment
of this new collection technique.
In addition,
your comments
provide impetus upon which approach modification can be predicated
for data
collection against the same or any additional targets
for which you may
have an interest.
The effort you expend will greatly assist us and will
ultimately result
in your receiving more information of increasing accuracy
and reliability.
While formulating your judgements concerning the
information provided,
the
following comments concerning this new source of
intelligence may
be helpful.
Foremost,
the
information
is likely
to consist
of
a mixture of both correct and incorrect elements.
Specifically:
The descriptive elements are generally
of
a higher reliability than
judgements or labels as
to what is being described by the source
(a
recreational swimming pool may be mistaken
for
a water purification pool,
or an aircraft hull may be mistaken
for
a submarine hull,
etc.)
Therefore,
seemingly appropriate descriptive elements should not be rejected because
they have been mislabeled.
The data will often contain gaps
(in
a three building complex
for
example,
only
two buildings may be described,
or
an airfield may be added
which
is not there.)
Such gaps
or additions should not be taken
to mean
that
the rest
of the information provided
is necessarily inaccurate.
t
Some of the data provided may be abstract with no apparent importance
concerning the target.
However,
when considered in light
of additional
information provided or obtained at
a later
date,
may then be considered
of high intelligence value.
(i.e»,
lack of personnel within
a
24 hour
operations area on
a given time and
date,
which
is later confirmed to
coincide with
a
fire evacuation demonstration.)
Therefore,
a recommended approach
is
to first examine the information
provided and to answer the questions
as best you can
(hence this interim
response),
in order
to provide us with sufficient feedback to continue our
support with the best methods possible.
Later,
when
the project has been
terminated against that specific target,
our office will provide you with
a
more detailed format wherein
a full evaluation
of all the information provided
can be accomplished.
If you have
any questions regarding
the
data you have received,
or its
interim evaluation,
please contact this office any
time.
