 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.
