Approved For Release 2000108107 CIA-RDP96-00788ROO0500320003-0 IAOPS-H-S SU13JECT: INTERIM RESPONSE (U) The information provide(] as an enclosure to this report was obLained in direct response to a collection requiremeriL provide(] by your Office. The information is from an unconfirmed Source, therefore caution is w'-Jr- ranted in its use. The material vhich you vill now review has been ac- quired from a totally new and potentially valuable source of intelligence. Work is currently being conducted to esLahlish 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- menL 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 turgets for which yuu 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 now source of intelligence may be helpful. Foremost, the information is likely to consist of, a mixture of both correct and incorrect eleme-nts. Specifically: The descriptive elements are generally of a higher reliability than judge- merits or labels as to uhat 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 SUbma-rine hull, etc.) Therefore, seemingly app-.oop- riate descriptive elements should not be rejected because Lhey 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 nut there.) Such gaps or additions, should not he take'ri 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 I-t later date, may thon 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, question-. as best you can (hence this interim response), in order to provide us wiLh 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 datzi you have received, or its interim evaluation, please contact this office (IAOP5-11-5) at any time.
