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 nub ihf areas, and we were unable
to get definitive evaluations in order to prepare a comprehensive assessment
of this particular project. Our assessor, , had identi-
fied a number of actions in the reference a were require to complete
our comprehensive program successfully.

2. On 3 January, , and
I met with to review 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
SG1 J to the current situation. SG1J

and and I have reviewed the pro t1,~and as pledged
his full support. In a subsequent meeting, recom-
mended that we not try to rectify and/or clarity a ambiguities an incomplete
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.
