SUBJECT:
Interim Response
(U)
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.
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.
