SPECIAL DISPATCH 



July 26, 2002 

Your Intelligence Analysis Team (IAT) will deploy on a critical diplomatic and intelligence mission to the capital city of the country of PERU. Team members will report to the Agency's attaché on site at the American Embassy by the end of term 4. 



In preparation for your assignment, your team will complete a Country
Profile Report (CPR) on your assigned country. The CPR should include
briefed information on as many aspects or details about your assigned
country as possible. Examples of what the CPR should include are listed
below. 

• Historical overview of the assigned country
  

• Social conditions (disease and health, health care system, educational
  system, welfare, crime, transportation, major social problems, etc.)
  

• Currency and its valuation compared to the U.S. Dollar 
  

• Geography (location, ecosystems, key geographic features, climate,
  population, major cities, etc.) 
  

• Cultural composition (language, religion, ethnic groups, etc.) 
  

• Political structure (type system, parties, head of state, key officials,
  embassy data, etc.) 
  

• Economy (type system, major industries, agriculture, chief
  exports/imports, etc.) 
  

• Current issues (significant events presently or recently occurring the
  country)
  
  

You have the resources of our state-of-the-art library, our electronic
resources, and our crack team of information specialists (a.k.a. ,
librarians) at your disposal. Use them wisely. Your team's CPR will be
completed no later than one week prior to your departure. 



Your mission is a critical one. The success of your students in college and their lifelong intellectual development is at stake. We know we can county on your team to get the job done. On behalf of all of us at the Agency, good luck!
