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.

The reason that
IN PART was checked
is
because we have not fully exploited that
target
.
Additional Tasking:
Your office has/will have the additional
tasking.
Additional comments:
According to the two scientist that have seen/evaluated
the reports,
the information maybe new to the intelligence
