Approved For Release 2000/08/08 "94-00789ROO3000230001-3 S-01 7/DT Memorandum for Record: 11 January 1991 SUBJECT: Project SUN STREAK Reference: Memorandum S-490/DT, 12 December 1990, subject as above. (Enclosure) 1. The reference was our initial effort to do a comprehensive and systematic evaluation and assessment of DT-S' reports. A review of the reference will reveal that our efforts fell short in a nuQJWbf areas, and we were unable to get definitive evaluations in order to prepare a com rehensive assessment pare a com renensiv of this particular project. Our assessor, ' had identi- a we=rereoiuIre to fied a number of actions in the reference a were requ re to complete 0 our comprehensive program successfully. SG1J 2. On 3 January,= and I met withl view shortcomings in our procedures. As a result of that meeting, it was agreed: SG1J SG1J DB would provide an action officer to us with whom ould deal directly. This would allow us to obtain clarification on evaluations immediately, identify shortfalls in evaluations, and permit a senior staff dialogue to ensure the overall evaluations and assessments were accomplished in the most successful manner possible. Some of our procedures were too burdensome and needed streamlining. - We need to assess whether our quantifiable answer categories should be expanded to reflect the range of uncertainty when one is evaluating a DT-S report. - We need to reaccomplish the original tasking, updating it as necessary SG1J to the current situation.

In a subsequent meeting, recom- mended that we not try to rectify and/or clarity tne am igul les an ncomplete data reflected in the reference, but rather reinitiate the project with duplicate questions where they are still germane to the current situation. I agreed with this recommendation, and tasking will be so drafted to DT-S. 4. For our historical records and lessons learned, we need to capture the shortfalls we experienced when we first set up these procedures. I will task DT-S to prepare a closeout report on this episode, in conjunction with DT-3, after the new tasking is completed by DT-S (we cannot forward the enclosed memorandum or any other pertinent information on the first results). DT-S knows they will be retasked to do the same subjects, and we must ensure objec- tivity in their reporting. jz~L". 1 Enclosure HN T.
