INSTRUCTIONS TO ANALYSTS (U)
Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R000100280003-9
(U) The information provided as enclosure to this report was obtained in
response to a collection requirement provided by
This information was acquired from a new and potentially valuable source of
intelligence. Work is currently being pursued to determine the accuracy,
reliability, and improvement potential of this source. Your remarks and
attention to the evaluation sheet will be the basis for our assessment of this
new collection technique. Therefore, the effort you expend will greatly assist
us and will ultimately result in you receiving more data of increasing accuracy
and reliability.
(U) While formulating your judgements concerning the data, the following
comments concerning this new source of intelligence may be helpful.
(U) Foremost, the data is likely to consist of a mixture of correct and
incorrect elements. Specifically:
i .-
(1)
The descriptive elements are generally of higher
reliability than judgements or labels as to what is
being described (recreational swimming pool may be
mistaken for water purification pools, an aircraft
hull may be mistaken for a submarin. hull, etc. ).
Therefore, seemingly appropriate descriptive elements
should not be rejected because of mislabeling.
(2)
(S) The data often contain gaps (in a 3-building complex,
for example, perhaps only two of the buildings may be
described, and an airfield may be added that isn't there).
Such gaps or additions should not be taken to mean that the
rest of the data is necessarily inaccurate.
Therefore, a recommended approach is to first examine the entire
information packet to obtain an overall "flavor" of the response, reserving
final judgement even in the face of certain errors, and then go back through
for detailed analysis.
(U) If you have questions regarding the data you have received or on its
evaluation please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you.
