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.
