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 war-
ranted in its use.
The material which you will now review has been ac-
quired 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 assess-
ment of this new collection technique.
In addition,
your comments provide
impetus upon which approach modification
can
be predicated for data collect-
ion 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 re-
liability.
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 judge-
ments 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 approp-
riate descriptive elements should not be rejected because
they have been mis-
lableled.
The data will often contain
gaps
(in
a three building complex for ex-
ample,
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 in-
formation 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 pro-
vided 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
(IA0PS-H-S)
at any
time.
