1. In general, this study is an excellent product. The instructions it pro-
vides are clear and realistic, the cases cited are interesting and make worth-
while points, and it is quite well written. We do have some suggestions for
improvement.
a. In the discussion of harassment on page 1, the example cited is not
of a harassment, but of a targetted activity. Suggest a better example be
provided.
b. In paragraphs 1 through 8, the discussions of possible harassments and
provocations sometimes minimize the threat unacceptably. Precautionary measures
are sometimes not stated forcefully enough. The attached draft has been marked
up with suggestions for more appropriate language.
c. Paragraph le on page 3 should contain some instructions for precautions
to be taken if a traveller must carry prescription drugs, particularly prescrip-
tion narcotics, with him. This should include mention of items which might be
mistaken for drug paraphernalia (e.g., disposable syringes carried by diabetics
taking injected insulin).
d. The "Conclusions" section emphasizes the importance of immediately re-
porting actual or suspected incidents to the nearest US diplomatic post. Un-
fortunately, the only instructions on the subject in the "briefing" portions of
the study concern reporting illness, detention, or other emergency. Suggest a
subparagraph on incident reporting be added to paragraph 4b.
e. It is quite likely that many security officers will "lift" portions of
the study intact and include them in "reading packages" for travellers. Some
careful editing, aimed at reducing the reading difficulty of the study, might
be useful. The style of writing in the study is generally excellent, but a few
sections might benefit from such editing.

2. We feel this study will prove very valuable to Government contractors in
their security education activities and should be made available to them as
well as to Government departments and agencies. Recommend that copies of the
study be provided to the Defense Industrial Security Institute for distribu-
tion to contractors participating in the Industrial Security Program.
