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.
