[226]MEMORANDUM FOR: Associate Deputy Director for Operations
[228]THROUGH: MPS/BG
[229]SUBJECT: Amendment and Termination of Project
[230]KDFACTOR
[232]1. Project KDFACTOR supported a visual and photo-
[233]graphic surveillance operation in Mexico City targetted
[234]against the Soviet Embassy. Asscts included five agents
[235]and two baschouse surveillance sites, Termination of
[236]this project, effective 30 June 1972, was the result of
[237]a security review which revealed that the VWBLANKET
[238]principal knew the basic details of the KDFACTOR opera-
[240]tions,
[242]-: 2. Agent termination was accomplished without any
[243]immediate difficulties; however, continued security will
[245]. depend on the terminated agents’ silence. In the event
[247]there is a compromise, the risk of damage to the Sta-
[248]tion's relations with the Mexican Government should be
[249]minimized because of the compatible nature of KDFACTOR' s
[250]operations.
[252]3. The ADDO approved Amendment No. 1 to the proj-
[253]ect in the amount of $9,844 for FY 1972 to provide for
[254]the agent terminations, but an overrun of $7,246 oc- °
[255]curred as the result of miscalculation of termination’
[256]costs. This project action requests this additional -
[257]sum of $7, 246 to cover these expenses, .
[259]4, The FI Staff recommends approval of this amend—
[261]ment/termination request.

[353]SUBJECT : “Project KDFACTOR - Amendment . —
[354]. and Termination Request. -
[356]1. The KDFACTOR Project (until 1970 encrypted
[357]as the LIEMPTY Project) was initially approved in
[358]1958 to provide financial and material support for
[359]visual and photographic surveillance operations
[360]targetted agdinst the Soviet Embassy in Mexico
[361]City. In June 1972 the project supported five
[362]agents and two basehouse surveillance sites,
[364]2. The KDFACTOR Project was approved by the
[365]Abpc in the amount of $19,000 for FY - 72 and
[366]$20,000 fur FY - 73, Per DIRECTOR 285255, dated
[367]30 June 1972, the ADDO approved Amendment N), 1
[368]to the KDFACTOR Project in the amount of $9,844
[369]for FY - 72 to provide for costs of agent
[370]terminations,
[372]3. The decision to terminate all agents and
[373]facilities under the KDFACTOR Project was based
[374]on a security review of the project activities
[375]which indicated that the VWBLANKET principal knew
[376]the basic details of the KDFACTOR operations,
[377]including the target, the location of the surveillance
[378]Sites, and probably the true names and former
[379]cryptonyms of the agents covered by the project. a
[381]4, The cost of terminating the agents under the
[382]KDFACTOR Project amounted to $15,573; the cost of
[383]closing down, the two basehouses under the project
[384]was $1,412. The total amount charged to the KDFACTOR
[385]Project in FY 72 was $36,090 which is $7,246 over
[386]the approved authorization of $28,844. The overage
[387]was incurred in terminating the agents and
[388]facilities associated with the KDFACTOR Project.
[389]Although Amendment No. 1 to the project was
[390]approved in the amount of $9,844 to cover the
[391]cost of terminating the agents in the

[410]Freject, the actual payments made by Mexico City
[411]station per the terms of cach Memorandum -.of Oral
[412]Commitment (MQC) and in accordance with Mexican
[413]law and custom exceeded the estimate for termination
[414]costs made by Headquarters at the time the Amendment
[416]Was requested. Termination payments made to each
[418]agent aré as follows: .
[419]KDFACTOR-2 (Recruited 1956) $8,160
[421]KDFACTOR-S (Recruited 1956) 2,366
[422]KDFACTOR-6 - (Recruited 1956) 2,830
[423]KDFACTOR-8 (Recruited 1965) - 649
[424]KDFACTOR-9 (Recruited 1966) 1,568
[426]The long tenure of three of the terminated
[427]agents, the relatively high monthly salary of
[428]KDFACTOR-2 ($440) plus the computation of the
[429]termination payments in accordance with Mexican
[430]law and custom were the primary reasons that the
[431]final agent termination costs amounted to $15,573,
[433]§. All agent terminations were accomplished
[434]in an amicable manner. No visible security risks
[435]were apparent at the time of the terminations
[436]although any one, or all, of the terminated agents
[437]may at some future date decide to divulge to an
[438]interested party the details of the KDFACTOR Project
[439]operations, KDFACTOR-2, KDFACTOR-S, and KDFACTOR-6
[440]have worked in photo surveillance operations for
[441]the Station since 1956 and, therefore, obviously
[442]have considerable knowledge of targets, former
[443]satesites, personnel, and modus operandi of the
[444]Station. However, since the KDFACTOR Project was
[445]not concerned with incompatible operations or
[446]targets, we believe the risks of damage to Station
[447]relations with the Mexican Government in the event
[448]of exposure of the KDFACTOR Project operations by a
[449]terminated agent are within acceptable limits.
[451]6. It is requested that the KDFACTOR Project
[452]be amended to provide the sum of $7,246 for FY -
[453]T2 to cover the costs of terminating five agents
[454]and two basehouse surveillance sites under this
[456]preject.

[628]Changes: : o
[629]1. The processing of photographs obtained through this
[631]project now is performed inside the Station. KDPACTOR-1, who
[632]formerly processed the take in an outside safehouse, was
[633]terminated amicably in early March 1971. Security and effi-
[634]ciency have been increased by this change, EKDFACTOR-1 was
[635]terminated in 1970, but the Cermination payments were made
[636]during FY 1971 cauging an increase in that years obligations.
[638]2. Howard T. BAGAUS handled the administration of this
[639]project to early April 1971 when project responsibility
[641]reverted from the Operations Support Section to the REDTOP
[642]Section. At that time Timothy H. ARCHBOLD asaumed the inside
[644]adsinistrative supervision, and agent meetings were turned
[646]over te. the outside case officer Bruce AR. FERNALD. When
[647]ARCHBOLD departed PCS on 7 June 1971, Oliver J. MANKUNAS
[648]assumed responsibility for thie project, including agent
[650]meetings.
[651]Ace lishments:
[653]1, This project has provided continuous daily photo-.
[654]graphic and visual coverage of personnel and vehicles entering
[655]or leaving the Soviet Embassy. A total of 530 rolls of film
[656]were produced during the reporting period. U.S. citizens,
[657]visitors, and YDY peraonnel are given special attention. Iden-
[658]tifications of license plates and automobile descriptions as —
[659]well ag drivers and their compenions are identified under chis
[660]project. Additionally, attendsnce sheets are maintained to
[661]establish who ia at the Embassy on any given day and hour.
[663]14-00000
[667]These photographs and reports have contributed operational
[668]support to thé Station's Soviet operations which ia not
[670]'. attainable elaevbere. For example, whenever the Soviets
[671]:-hange all their license numbers the Station is able to
[672]". compile @ nev, complete roster within a matter of weeks.

[741]Changes:
[743]1. The processing of photographs obtained through this
[744]project now is performed inside the Station. KDFACTOR-1, who
[745]formerly processed the take in an outside safehouse, was
[746]terminated amicably in early March 1971. Socurity and effi-
[747]ciency have been increased by this change. KDFACTOR-1 was
[748]terminated in 1970, but the termination payments were made
[749]during FY 1971 causing an increase in that years obligations.
[751]‘2, Moward T. BAGAUS handled the administration of this
[752]project to early April 1971 when project responsibility
[753]reverted from the Operations Support Section to the REDTOP
[754]Section. At.that time Timothy H. ARCHBOLD assumed the inside
[755]aduinistrative supervision, and agent meetings were turned
[756]over to the outside case officer Bruce H. FERNALD. When
[757]ARCHEOLD departed PCS on 7 June 1571, Oliver J; MANKUNAS
[758]aseumed responsibility for this project, including agent
[760]meetings. i
[762]Accomplishments:
[764]1. This project has provided continuous daily photo-
[765]graphic and visual coverage of personnel and vehicles entering
[766]or leaving the Soviet Enbassy. A total of 530 rolls of film
[767]were produced during the reporting period. U.S. citizens.
[768]visitors, and TDY personnel ere given special attention. Iden-
[769]tifications of license plates and automobile descriptions aa
[770]well az drivers and their campanions are identified under this
[771]project. Additionally, attendance sheets are maintained to
[772]establish who is at the Embassy on any given day and hour.

[782]These photographs and reports have contributed operational
[783]support to. the Station's Soviet operations which is not |
[784]‘attainable elsewhere, For example, whenever the Sovieta i
[785]- change all their license nusbers the Station is able to |
[788]i
[790]1
[794]compile a new, complete roster within a matter of wieks.
[796]: 1. General: $19,000 is requested for FY 1972 and
[797]‘$20,000 is requested for FY 1973. It is also requested
[798]that the Project be amended for FY 1971 in the amount of
[799]$4,260 to provide for the termination of KDFACTOR-1 and
[801]KDFACTOR-7.
[802]2. Source of Funds: Project KDFACTOR is included in
[804]the Western Hemisphere Division's Operational Program in the
[805]amount of $23,735 for FY 1972 and $24,182 for FY 1973. !

[1216]MEMORANDUM FOR; Assistant Deputy Director for Plans
[1219]SUBJECT: Renewal of Project KDFACTOR
[1220]° in 1972 for $19,000
[1222]in 1973 for $20,000
[1224]l. This project covers photo and visual surveillance
[1225]of the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. One observation
[1226]post covers the front gate of the building,and another
[1227]covers the rear gate and walled compound. Five salaried
[1228]agents man the sites, four in front and one in back. An
[1229]official cover case officer collects the take (rolls of
[1230]film and logs of visitors) once a week by car meetings
[1231]with the OP keepers. The films are developed and printed
[1232]inside the Station.
[1234]2. The production from this operation has consis-
[1235]tently been rated: high by the Bureau (which is the prin-
[1236]cipal customer in the field), by other Government agencies
[1237]and by SB Division. Photosurveillance of a Soviet Embassy
[1238]might not be a high priority target in some countries.
[1240]But the fact that the Soviet Embassy in Mexico is a large
[1241]and active one and the fact that its primary target is
[1243]Operations against the United States make our effort
[1245]important and valuable. his is the operation that pro- This mM
[1247]duced the photographs of Lee Harvey Oswald visiting the
[1248]Soviet Embassy in 1962.
[1250]3. This seemingly straightforward operation has not
[1251]always been so uncomplicated. Both sites have been in
[1252]operation and served by the same OP keepers for more than
[1253]a dozen years. At one of the sites the OP keeper's wife
[1254]and children take turns manning the equipment. A now-
[1255]terminated principal agent was divorced several years
[1257]‘ago from-a wife who knew a lot about the operation. Some
[1259]desk officers believe that the medical doctor who for
[1260]years was supposed to be devéloping the films was simply
[1261]too busy to do so and that the work was probably done by
[1262]his uncleared secretary. Family relationships keep
[1263]cropping up among supposedly compartmented agents. All
[1264]of this is in the files but not in any one place. We
[1266]oe
[1268]ervor ,
[1270]D/EG.,
[1272]19 Aps!79 .
[1275], believe it is time for the Station to make an updated
[1277]j Security review of the operation with particular attention
[1278]to the knowledgeability of terminated agents and their
[1279]families. We also believe that the Station should now
[1280]address itself to the contingency that the present sites
[1281]or personnel will be blown and to investigate alternative
[1282]means of continuing their valuable coverage.
[1284]4. The ADDP last approved this project in May 1970
[1285]. with the condition that termination payments to the
[1286]principal agent and his divorced wife be made on a
[1287]monthly basis. This condition has been met.
[1289]5. The budgets requested for the next two years are
[1290]simple and straightforward. Salaries and the traditional
[1291]bonuses for the five paid agents come to about $13,000.
[1292]Rent and utilities on the two observation posts come to
[1293]$5,600. The small balance is for operational expenses.
[1294]This project-action also requests amendment of the FY
[1295]1971 budget by $4,260 to cover that part of the cost of
[1296]termination bonuses to the principal agent and his di-
[1297]vorcéed wife which could not be absorbed by the project.
[1298]The total of the termination bonuses was $12,500.
[1300]6. This is a valuable and productive project which
[1301]helps fulfill a Priority A-1 Station requirement. The
[1303]FI Staff recommends approval.

[1490]assumed responsibility for this project, including agent
[1492]meetings.
[1494]Accomplishments:
[1496]1. This project has provided continuous daily photo-
[1497]graphic and visual coverage of personnel and vehicles entering
[1498]ox leaving the Soviet Embassy. A total of 530 rolls of film
[1499]were produced during the reporting period. U.S. citizens,
[1500]visitors, and TDY personnel are given special attention. Iden-
[1501]tifications of license plates and automobile descriptions as
[1502]well as drivers and their companions are identified under this
[1503]project. Additionally, attendance sheets are maintained to
[1504]establish who is at the Embassy on any given day and hour.

[1509]SECRET -2-
[1511]These photographs, and reports have contributed olevactonat
[1512]support to the Station's Soviet operations which is not
[1513]attainable elsewhere. For example, whenever the Soviets
[1514]change all their license numbers the Station is able to
[1515]compile a new, complete roster within a matter of weeks.
[1517]Costs:
[1519]1. General: $19,000 is requested for FY 1972 and
[1520]$20,000 is requested for FY 1973. It is also requested
[1521]that the Project be amended for FY 1971 in the amount of
[1522]$4,260 to provide for the termination of KDFACTOR~1 and
[1524]KDFACTOR-7.
[1526]2. Sovirce of Funds: Project KDFACTOR is included in
[1527]the Western Hemisphere Division's Operational Program in the
[1528]amount of $23,735 for FY 1972 and $24,182 for. FY 1973.

[1779]“Purpose: tee ;
[1780]Projoct. LIEMPTY supports a visual and photographic
[1782]Surveillance. of the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. The
[1784]aim is to identify and cover the movezeats of persons
[1785]centering and leaving the Embassy, including Soviets and
[1786]“visitors. The inteliigenco collected through such activity.
[1787]contributes t6-the Station's overall Soviet operations
[1788]program, mainly in support of Priority A-l, but to some
[1789]extent, Priority A-4, of the Operating Directive for Mexico.
[1791]e 1. The Project ‘operates: “through two fixed baschouse
[1792]‘surveillance posts, a small photographic laboratory, a
[1793]- principal agent, and six Sub-agents. A team of four sub-
[1794]“agents, ‘operating from a basehouse, maintains yisual and
[1795].photographic: surveillance of the Soviet Embassy front
[1796]“entrance, One Sub-agent, operating from a second base=
[1797]~house, covers an, area in back of the Embassy, where Soviet
[1798]“officials meet, play: and work, These units photograph all
[1799]“persons moving in or out of the specific target areas. They
[1800]‘also. maintain logs and provide written reports on observed
[1801]‘activity. - All of this material is passed to the principal
[1802]agent, who -passes the film to another sub-agent for process-
[1803]‘ing at a laboratory equipped for that purpose. After the -
[1804]‘film is processed and printed, the principal agent passes
[1805]the finished. product, plus written reports and logs, to the
[1806]‘Station case officer. A brief description of each unit,.

[1942]GERENDE had met ‘them, but operational effectiveness is not

[1946]considerably.
[1948]: Accomplishments
[1950]a / ‘1. Project. LIEMpry has provided continuous daily
[1951]Pe . photographic--and visual coverage (Honday through Saturday)
[1952]‘of the tront entrance and rear areas of the Soviet Embassy
[1953]“in Mexico City. All Soviet personnel and their visitors
[1954]‘entering or leaving the Embassy have.‘been. photographed.
[1956]addition, visual surveillance. reports were prepared when
[1957]appropriate, These photographs and reports have contributed.
[1958]essential operational support .to the Station's Soviet oper~
[1960]ations program,
[1962]2. Recently, LIEMPTY photographs were exclusively used.
[1963]“to produce an updated mug book on Soviet officials in Mexico.
[1964]‘The book has been loaned to the FBI, _AF/OSI and. the 902nd .
[1965]Military Intelligence Group for operational use in debriefing
[1966]theiy agents engaged in dangle operations and double agent ;
[1967]‘operations against the Soviet services in Mexico City. One
[1968]- 902nd controlled agent was identified from an LIEMPTY photo-
[1969]“graph taken when the agent tried to contact the Soviets at

[1978]' from Caracas, Venezuela, LIEMPTY was able to observe
[1981]. reo
[1982]CE uL ET
[1986]the Soviet Embassy in-Mexico City. Similarly, an AF/OSI
[1987]controlled agent scheduled to mect a Sovict contact was
[1988]unable to do so owing to illness, but LIEMPTY photographed
[1990].another person who appeared at the meeting site and this
[1992]person is beliéved'-to.-be. the agent's Soviet case officer.
[1994]Such coverage hag been helpful to the 902nd, AF/OSI and
[1996]the FBI in running their controlled double agent operations
[1997]against the Soviets in Mexico,
[1999]: 3. Within one weok after a biannual change of license
[2000]plates on Soviet Embassy vehicles, LIEMPTY had provided a ~
[2002]-eomplete list of the new tag numbers, along with a complete
[2004]identification of the vchicles. Among other things, this
[2005]enabled the Station to identify the companions of Aleksandr
[2006]Aleksandrovich NIKITIN, a known KGB officer, during his
[2008]last few days in Mexico,
[2010]4. LIEMPTY has also dotormined that newcomers to the
[2012]Soviet Embassy frequéntly gravitate to groupings with their
[2013]-RIS colleagues in the “safoty" of the Embassy backyard,
[2015]This fact enabled the Station.to make certain tentative
[2016]KGB and GRU identifications. In addition, certain TDYers
[2017]have been linked up with their escort officers and clues
[2019]to personal relationships have occasionally been exploited.
[2021]5. In the field of Sovict patterns of activity and
[2022]associations, LIEMPTY has been able to report accurate
[2023]changes in certain specific cases. LIEMPTY coverage showed
[2025]‘that NIKITIN, mentioned in paragraph 3 above, changed his
[2027]activity pattern following the defection of Raisa
[2028]Yerofeyevna KISELNIKOVA, former secretary in the Commercial
[2029]Mission in Mexico, The same applies to Oleg NECHIPORENKO,
[2030]a Second Secretary at the Embassy and a known KGB officer.
[2031]LIEMPTY also provided information on the patterns and
[2032]asseciations of Yuriy Viktorovich KUPLYAKOV, a known KGB
[2033]officer and on Valeriy Vladimirovich SOKOLIN, a known GRU
[2034]officer. Coverage of Vladimir Viktorovich GORDEYEV, a
[2035]suspect KGB officer, .showed that he did, in fact, work ina
[2036]“restricted area" at the Soviet Embassy’ and also’ established
[2037]In the case of Oleg
[2039]IGNATYEV entering and leaving in the company of Svyastoslav
[2040]Fedorovich KUZNETSOV, Press ‘Attache and First Secretary of
[2041]the Soviet Embassy, IGNATYEY also visited the Soviet Embassy
[2043]SECRET
[2046]14-0000
[2048]several othéer times during his stay in Mexico City and
[2049]had contact with other known. Soviet intelligence officers
[2050]while visiting. This kind of information is a basic
[2051]contribution to the Station's continuing efforts to
[2052]identify and assess certain Soviets for possible
[2053]recruitment or defection,
[2055]- . - , 6, At Headquarters, the Soviet Bloc Division uses
[2056]LIEMPTY photographs, particularly photographs of Soviet
[2057]Embassy officials, for identification purposes in con-
[2058]nection with defector cascs. ‘he LIEMPTY material also
[2059]keeps the Station's Soviet section up-to-date on which
[2060]Soviet officers have been in the Embassy, which ones have
[2061]been away; who has used which car; who has been in contact
[2062]with whom; and other similar information useful in the
[2063]conduct of Soviet operations,
[2065]Problems:
[2067]1. <A security problem has developed involving
[2068]Raymond HU, GERENDE, According to GERENDE, his wife wants
[2069]a divorce, apparently based mainly on incompatability of
[2070]personalities. The problem basically is that both want :
[2071]custody of the children and this has sparked a dispute SO, '
[2072]that has become more bitter and violent daily. In addition, ’
[2073]the monetary settlement ig in dispute. The problem is ve ‘
[2074]compounded by the fact that GERENDE's wife knows in.some ; 1
[2075]considerable detail of GERENDE's activities on behaif of :
[2076]the Agency. Thus, if the case does go to court, it could
[2077]lead to the surfacing of GERENDE's Agency employment and
[2078]Possible compromise of LILYRIC, LICALLA and LIENTRAP.
[2079]Even if the case does not go to court, GERENDE's wife could
[2080]expose him as an Agency ¢cnployee, Since late 1969, Mexico . i
[2081]City Station has been in touch with both GERENDE and his ;
[2082]wife on this problem, and every effort is being made by ‘
[2083]the Station to-have both parties settle the divorce out of ;
[2084]court, and to protect GERENDE's cover and that of the
[2085]project, After weighing all factors, it has been decided
[2086]that continued employment of GERENDE is not an acceptable
[2087]risk, and the decision has been reached to terminate him
[2088]by the end of FY 1979. GERENDE will be paid a termination
[2089]bonus of $10,000 for 15 years service, about $1,250 more
[2090]than the $8,750 his contract calls for, in order to ensure '
[2091]that the termination is amicable and thereby preserve :
[2094]ay
[2096]“project security. In addition, his wife, LIEMPTY-19 will
[2097]- be given $2,500 as a security measure designed to keep her
[2099]oo, from revealing what She knows about project operations,
[2101]The FY 1970 budget is’ being amended to cover this amount. .
[2103]2. Other aspects of security continue relatively
[2104]unchanged. . All the agents still have jobs to backstop
[2105]their Agency wages. The Station is compartmented from
[2106]the action agents through FERNALD, whose contact with the
[2107]sub-agents is reasonably well covered by his status as a
[2108]retired immigrant. FERNALD has been meeting LIEMPTY-9 and
[2109]LIFEMPY-13 since 9 December 1969. Brief meetings are held
[2110]once each week at pre-arranged times and places, well away
[2111]from the target area. Occasionally emergency meetings are
[2112]called, by phone, if special coverage is desired. FERNALD
[2113]also meets LIENPTY-4 to exchange films and prints. These
[2114]meetings are held weekly at pre-arranged times and places.
[2115]FERNALD can change meeting plans by calling LIEMPTY-4
[2116]directly by telephone, In addition, LIEMPTY-4 has been
[2117]given a special extension in the Station through which he
[2118]may call as "Dr. Carios"” to leave a message for "Victor"
[2119](FERNALD). The Station case officer maintains weekly clan-
[2120]destine contact with FERNALD in order to manage the oper-
[2121]ation and collect the product,
[2123]Coordination:
[2125]Ambassador McBride has not been briefed on Project
[2126]LIEMPTY,.
[2128]Future Plans:
[2130]1. The surveillance units are expected to continue to
[2131]* produce valuable information in the form of photographic
[2132]coverage and visual surveillance reports on the daily
[2133]movements, personal associations, and habit patterns of
[2134]persons frequenting the Soviet Embassy, including Soviet
[2135]officials, Operational procedures and the project mecha-
[2136]nism will continue as it has in the past, oracert that Bruce
[2137]H, FERNALD, a new principal agent, will be in charge of the
[2138]operation (see Changes, paragraph 2).
[2140]2, The Project does not include an u%dated plan for
[2141]emergency contact during violent action or government over-
[2142]throw. The Station has been requested to prepare an up-
[2143]dated emergency contact plan and submit it to Headquarters
[2145]-in the first FY 1971 quarterly progress report.

[2324]Purpose: ; |
[2326]Project LIGeTY supports s visual and photographic
[2327]surveillance of the Soviet Embussy in Mexico City. The
[2328]ain is to ideatify and cover the novermenta of pyrsons
[2329]entering and leaving the Rabassy, including Soviets and
[2330]visitors. The intelligence collected through such activity
[2331]contributes to the Station's overall Soviet operations
[2332]program, mainly in support of Priority A-1, but to some
[2333]extent, Priority A-d, of the Operating Directive for Noxico.
[2335]Description:
[2337]1. The Project operates through two fixed basehouse
[2338]surveillance posts, a email photographic laboratory, a
[2339]principal agent, and six sub-agentsa. A team of four sub-
[2340]agents, operating from a bagehouse, maintains visual and
[2341]photographic surveillance of the Soviet Embassy front
[2342]entrance. Ono sub-agent, operating from a second dase-
[2343]house, covers an area in back of the Embassy, where Seviet
[2344]officials meet, play and vork. These units photcgraph all
[2345]persons moving ip or out of the specific target areas: They
[2346]also maintain logs and provide written reports on observed
[2347]activity. All of this material ia passed to the principal ”
[2348]agent, who passes the fils to another sub-agent for procesa-
[2349]ing at a laboratory equipped for that purpose. After the
[2350]“film is processed and printed, the principul agent passes
[2351]the finished product, plus written reports and logs, to the
[2352]Station case officer. A brief description of each unit,
[2353]each agent and his rolo in the operation follovs.

[2363]~ 2, LILYRIC (MXXI-132) ts a basehouse located near
[2364]tho front of the Soviet Exbassy. This house has been inp
[2366]‘ operation since October 1966. It is rented through
[2367]‘LIMOUSINE (201-5762), a cleared American businessman. He
[2369]4s the ostensible owner of record and, as the landlord,
[2370]collects rent frob. the tenante and then passos it to the
[2371]Station cage officer, LIENPTY-13 and his family (see
[2372]paragraph 3 below) live in the LILYRIC house and conduct
[2373]their survaillance operation from it during daylight hours
[2375](0800-1800).
[2377]. 3. LIEBMPTY-13 (201--119961) is the key member of the
[2378]LILYRIC basehouse tean.. He maintains contact with the
[2379]principal agent and does sone photographic work. Hovever,
[2380]because LIENPTY-13 is employed outside a9 an industrial
[2381]engineer, he in unable to spend much time operating the
[2382]LILYRIC photograpbic oquipsent, and most of this work is
[2383]dose by hie wife, LIENPTY-l4, and their sons, LIESPTY-26
[2384]and LIEMPTY-27 (see paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 bolow).
[2386]4. WLIEMPTY~14 (201-~-167567) is the main photographer
[2387]and observer at tho LILYRIC basehouse. She works closely
[2389]with her husband, LIEMPTY-13, in running. the operation,
[2390]including the preparation of observation roports and logs.
[2392]‘She also does the LILYRIC housekeeping, as any housewife
[2394]would doa.
[2396]5. LIEMPTY-26 (201-762111), the aon of LIEMPTY-13 and
[2397]LYIEMPTY-14, bas been a atudent at the Hexican Technoloyical
[2398]Ipatitute. In his spare time hoe operatesthe LILYRIC phote~
[2399]graphic equipment, and helps LIEMPTY-14 iu maintaining the
[2400]arrival and departure logs of target personalities.
[2402]. 6. LYBWTY-37 (201-762112), another gon of LIEXIMTY-13
[2403]and LIEMPTY-14, has been a prep school student. He assists
[2404]in operating the LILYRIC photographic equipment and trap-~
[2405]Bcribea notes into a finished typewritten log of events.
[2407]7. %LICALLA (GSEXI-03) its a basehouse located behind
[2408]the Soviet Eubsesy. It has been in operation since 1937.
[2409]The building, a four-unit affair, collectively knoen as
[2410]LIMUST, is Agency owned. It was purchased through
[2411]LIMOUSINE in Soptexber 1957, and the property is in his
[2412]pane. Tho LICALLA site is cccupied by LIENPTY-9 (see
[2413]paragraph 8 below) and ha runs the surveillance operation
[2415]from it.

[2424]8, LIEMPTY-9 (201-136454) ite the only ayent operating
[2425]from the LICALLA site. He does all the photography, main-
[2426]tains logs and prepares observation reports. He algo asin-
[2427]tains contact with the principal agent. LIEMPTY-9 is a
[2428]part-time insurance salesman and is self-employed in the
[2429]accounting business, which he conducts at the LICALLA site.
[2431]9. Raymond H, GERENDE (201~119523) has been the
[2432]princtpal agent for this project. ile is a Mexican national
[2433]contract agent who is self-employed as an English teacher
[2434]and also works as a salesman for a light bulb manufacturer.
[2435]GERENDE ‘has been mainly responsible for auintaining contact
[2436]with the LIEMPTY agents, paesing instructions to them, and
[2437]collecting the product for passing to the Station case
[2438]officer, He has also paid them and handled all other
[2439]admintatrative matters. He is being terminated by the end
[2440]of FY 1970 for security reagons (see Problems, paragraph 1),
[2442]10. Bruce H. FERNALD (P) (201-008185) replaced
[2443]GERENDE (see paragraph Y above) as the project's principal
[2444]agent in early December 1969. FERRALD, a U.8. Citizen bora
[2445]in June 1915, operates under non-official cover as a retired
[2446]immigrant. He is responsible for maintoining contact with
[2447]the LIEMPTY ayents and collecting the product for passing
[2448]to the Station case officer. He algo handlea adninistrative
[2449]matters, tocluding agent salary paysents. FERNALD ts
[2450]financially covered under Project AEMAGNIFY.
[2452]11, The LIEMPTY photographic laboratory (MEXI-137) is
[2453]located in a room at GERENDE's residence. It is equipped
[2454]to process the photographs taken by the LIEMPTY surveillance
[2455]units. The work is done by LIEMPTY-4. (See paragraph i2
[2456]below). Since GERENDE will be terminated by the end of
[2457]FY 1970, the Station is taking steps to establish a new
[2458]LIEMPTY photographic laboratory at a new safesite.
[2460]12, LIEMPTY-4 (201-117967) processes all the photo-
[2461]graphic film taken by the LIEMPTY photographers and uakes
[2462]the number of prints required. He does this work at night
[2463]in the LISMPTY photographic laboratory. He is self-employed
[2464]ag a medical doctor, and he is a brother-in-law of GERENDE,
[2465]in whose home the laboratory is located.

[2485]1
[2486]1. The LIENTRAP mobile unit, constating of LIEMPTY-10 -
[2487]and LIEMPLY-11, is being removed from Project LIEMPTY and
[2488]Placed under Project LIEMBRACE, which supports a unilateral
[2489]physical surveillance team. . The purpose of this change is
[2490]to increase the aize of the LIEMBRACE team in order to meet
[2491]a growing demand for operational surveillance support from
[2492]the various Station operating sections, The transfer will
[2493]become effective at the beginning of FY 1971 and both \
[2494]FY 1971 project budgets have been adjusted to cover financial
[2496]‘aspects of the change,
[2498]2. Raymond H, GERENDE was removed ag the LIEMPTY |
[2499]principal agent in early December 1969 owing to a security
[2500]problem (see Problema, paragraph 1). He was replaced on
[2501]9 December 1969 by Bruce H, FERNALD, a career agent oper-
[2502]ating ‘under cover ag a retired immigrant, The change hag
[2503]caused some delay in the receipt of photographs because
[2504]FERNALD t9 unable to meet LIEMPTY agents as frequently as
[2505]GERENDE had met them, but operational effectiveness is not
[2506]significantly reduced by this delay. The key issue ig that
[2507]security and reliability of the principal agent have improved
[2509]considerably.
[2511]Accomplishments:
[2513]1. Project LIEMPTY has provided continuous daily
[2514]photographic and visual coverage (Monday through Ssturday)
[2515]of the front entrance and rear arens of the Soviet Embassy
[2516]in Mexico City. All Boviet personnel and their visitors
[2517]entering or leaving the Enbassy have been photographed. , In
[2518]addition, visual surveillance reports were prepared when
[2519]appropriate. These photographs and reports have contributed
[2520]essential operational support to the Station's Soviet oper- |
[2523]|
[2524]|
[2527]ations progran.
[2529]2, Recently, LIEMPTY photographs were exclusively used
[2530]to produce an updated mugbook on Soviet officials in Mexico.
[2531]The book has been loaned to the FBI, AF/OSI and the 903nd
[2532]Military Intelligence Group for operational use in debriefing
[2533]their agents engaged in dangle operations and double agent
[2534]operations against the Soviet services in Mexico City. One
[2535]902nd controlled agent was identified from an LIEMPTY photo-
[2536]graph taken when the agent tried to contact the Soviets at
[2539]Sapna
[2541]‘the Soviet Embassy tn Mexico City. Binilarly, an AF/OSI
[2543]controlled agent scheduled to mect a Soviet contact was
[2544]unable to do go owing to illness, but LIEMPTY photographed
[2545]another: person who appeared at the meeting site and this
[2546]person is believed to be the agent's Soviet case officer.
[2547]Such coverage has been helpful to the 902nd, AF/OSI and
[2549]_the FBI in running their controlled double agent operations
[2550]against the Soviets in Hoxice. oo. r _
[2552]3. Within one week after a biannual change of license
[2553]plates on Soviet Embassy vehicles, LIEMPTY had provided a
[2555]‘complete Jint of ‘the now tay numbers, slong with a complete
[2557]identification of the vehicles. Among other things, this
[2558]enabled the Station to identify the companions of Aleksandr
[2559]Aleksandrovich HIKITIN, a known KGB officer, during hie
[2561]last few days ip Mexico.
[2563]4. LUEMPTY has also determined that newcomers to the
[2564]Soviet Embassy frequently gravitate to groupings with their
[2565]RIS colleagues in the "safety" of the Kubassy backyard,
[2566]This fact enabled the Station to make certain tentative
[2567]KGS and GRU identifications. In addition, certain TDYers
[2568]have been linked up with their escort officers and clues
[2569]to personal relationships have occasionally been exploited.
[2571]5. In the field of Soviet patterns of activity and
[2572]associations, LIEMPTY has been able to report accursta
[2573]changes in certain apecific cases. LIEMPTY coverage showed
[2574]that NIKITIN, mentioned in paragraph 3 above, changed his
[2575]activity pattern following the defection of Raisa
[2577]Yerofeyevnn KISELNIKOVA, former secretary in the Commercial
[2579]Bission in Mexico. Tho sume applies to Oleg NECHIPORENKO,
[2580]a Second Secretary at the Rebasyy and a known KGB officor.
[2581]LIZUPTY also provided information on the patterns and
[2582]associationa of Yuriy Viktorovich KUPLYAXOV, a known KGB
[2583]officer and on Valeriy Viadimirovich SOKOLIN, s known GRU
[2584]officer. Coverage of Vladimir Viktorovich GOMUDEYEY, a
[2586]‘suspect KGB officer, showed that ho did, 1m fact, work in a
[2588]“restricted arca” at the Soviet Embassy end also established
[2589]who sone of his associates were. In ths case of Oleg
[2590]Konstantinovich IGNATYEY, who had arrived in Hexico City
[2591]from Caracas, Venezuela, LIEMPTY was able to observe
[2592]IGHATYEV entering and leaving in the company of Svyaatoslav |
[2593]Fedorovich KUZNETSOY, Press Attache and First Secretary of
[2595]the Soviet Embassy.
[2597]SECRET
[2599]IGNATYEY also visited the Soviet Fmbaasy
[2601]14-0000
[2603]Rinne
[2605]3
[2607]several other times during his stay in Mexico City and
[2608]had contact with other known Sovict inteiligence officers
[2609]while visiting. This kind of iaforeation is a basic
[2610]contribution.to the Station's continuing efforts to
[2611]identify and assess certain Soviets for possible
[2612]recruitment or defection.
[2614]6. At Headquarters, the Soviet Bloc Division uses
[2615]LIBMPTY photographs, particularly photographs of Soviet
[2616]Embassy officials, for identification purposes in con-
[2617]nection with defector cases. The LIENPTY material also
[2618]keeps the Station's Soviet section up-to-date on which
[2619]Soviet officers have been in the Sabtassy, which oves Save
[2620]been away; who has uged shich car: vio has been in contact
[2621]with whon; and other similar infornation useful io the
[2623]conduct of Soviet operations,
[2627]1. A security probles has developed involviag
[2628]Rayaond H, GBRENDE. <According to GSRENDE, his wife wants
[2629]a divorce, apparently based nainly os incompatability of
[2630]personalities. The problen basieslly is that both want
[2631]custody of the children and this has sparked a dispute
[2632]that hag become nore bitter and yiolent daily. In addition,
[2633]the monetary settlepent is in dispute. The problea is
[2634]conpounded by the fact that GEREXDS's wife knows ip sone
[2635]considerable detail of GERENDE's activities on behalf of
[2636]the Agency. Thus, if the case coey go to court, it could
[2637]lead to the surfacing of GARENDS's Agency employseat and
[2638]possible compromise of LILYRIC, LICALLA and LIENTRAP,
[2640]Even if the case does net go to ceurt, GSRENDE's wife could
[2641]expose hin as an Agency enployee. Since late 1965, Mexico
[2642]City Station has been in touch with both GERENOS and his
[2643]wife on this problen, and every effort is being made by
[2644]the Station to have both parties settle the divorce cut of
[2645]court, and to protect GERENDE's cover and tiat of the
[2646]project. After weighing all factors, it has been cecided
[2647]that continued employment of GSRONDS is not an acceptable
[2648]risk, and the decision has been reached to terminate bir
[2649]by the end of FY 1970, GERENDE vill be paid a terninstion
[2650]tonus of $10,000 for 15 years service, about 31,250 sore
[2651]than the $8,750 hig contract calls for, in order to ensure
[2652]that the termination. is amicable and thereby preserve
[2656]ears
[2657]ofu. al
[2659]a
[2661]project security. in addition, his wife, LIEMPTY-19 will
[2662]be given $2,500 ag a security measure designed to keep her
[2663]froa revealing what she knows about project operations. -
[2664]__The FY 1970 budget is. being amended to cover this Saount.
[2666]Other aspects of security continue relatively
[2667]unchanged. All the agents still have jobs to backstop
[2668]their Agency wages. The Station is compartmented froa
[2669]+he action agents through FERNALD, whose contact with the
[2670]sub-agents is reasonably well covered by his status as a
[2671]-petired 4immigrant. FERNALD has been neeting LIENPTY-9 and
[2672]LITENPY-13 since 9 December 1969. Brief meetings are held
[2673]once each week at pre-arranged times and places, well away
[2674]from the target aren. Occasionally emergency meetings are
[2675]called, by phone, if special coverage is desired. FERNALD
[2676]also meets LIXHPTY-4 to exchange films and prints. These
[2677]meetings are held weekly at pre-arranged times and placea.
[2678]FERNALD can change meeting plans by calling LIEMPTY-4
[2679]Girectly by telephone. In addition, LIENPTY-4 has been
[2680]given a special extension in the Station through whica he
[2682].- may call as "Dr, Carlos" to leave a message for "Victor"
[2684](FERNALD), The Station case officer maintains weekly clan-

[2687]ation and collect the product.

[2698]coverage and visual surveillance reports on the daily
[2699]movements, personal associations, and habit patterns of
[2700]persons frequenting the Soviet Pubassy, tncluding Soviet
[2701]officials. Operational procedures and the project secha-
[2702]nism will continue as it has in the past, except that Bruce
[2703]H. FERNALD, a new principal agent, will be in charge of the
[2704]operation (see Changes, paragraph 2).
[2706]2. The Project does not include aa up-dated plan for

[2881]. MEMORANDUM FOR : Assistant Deputy Director for Plans
[2883]a THROUGH . : MPS/BG-
[2884]SUBJECT §_—«:_—« Renewal of Project LIEMPTY
[2886]—— 1. WH Division requests renewal of Mexico City Station's
[2887]Operational Support Project, LIEMPTY, for $23,635 for Fiscal
[2888]- Year 1971 and a $10,498 amendment for FY 1970 to cover termine
[2889]..~ ation payments to a former Principal Agent and his wife, Last
[2890]year LIEMPTY was approved for $38,970, One agent termination
[2891]and the transfer of the cost of a mobile surveillance unit to
[2892]another projoct are responsible for the reduced FY 1971 request.
[2894]2. ‘LIEMPTY supports a visual and photographic surveil-
[2895]lance of the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. It includes a
[2896]Principal Agent, Raymond H, GERENDE (P), and 6 subagents who
[2897]maintain two separate safehouses, one in front and one in
[2898]the rear of the Soviet Embassy, from which anyone entering or
[2899]leaving the Embassy can be observed and photographed. The
[2900]various members of the team handle and service the photographic
[2901]equipment, develop: and print photographs, keep observation
[2902]reports.and logs, including the arrival and departure of tar-
[2903]get persons, and maintain the two safehouses mentioned above,
[2905]3. This project does not provide positive intelligence,
[2906]except incidentally, It is designed to furnish a running
[2907]‘account, both photographic and in writing, of all Soviet
[2908]Embassy personnel and their visitors arriving at, or leaving,
[2909]the Embassy. Photographs taken by LIEMPTY personnel were
[2910]used to produce an updated "mugbook" on Soviet officials in
[2911]Mexico which has been loaned to other US security agencies
[2912]for operational use in activities targeted against Soviet
[2913]services in Mexico City. LIEMPTY agents also provided infor-
[2914]mation which enabled the Station to identify the companions of
[2915]known KGB officials, to identify the habit patterns of new
[2916]arrivals at the Soviet Embassy and provided a wealth of other
[2917]information of operational value concerning Soviet Embassy
[2919]activities, :
[2920]4. <A security problem, resulting in a Station decision
[2922]to restrict the activities of GERENDE, place him on half pay,
[2923]and replace him with a career agent (a valuable asset who

[2937]os ’.  GERENDEB has been having marital difficulties which may end .
[2938]aan in divorce, Along with other incompatible features of the
[2939]marriage, which havé resulted in numerous family fights, .
[2940]there have been long, bitter and violent arguments as to who

[2942]7 Lo tary. settlements -. -The Station has become involved in these
[2943]a ne if altercations. bedguse GERENDE's wife 1s knowledgeable of his
[2944]a _ CIA relationship" and could,” 4f she chose to do so, expose him
[2945]Me as as an agency employee. « ~She has promised to keep quiet but
[2946]there 1g no assurance that she will do so. In view of the
[2947]risk . involved, should GERENDE'’s wife expose his agency rela-
[2948]- tionship and ‘in view of the fact that, despite his 15 years
[2949]of service and his undisputed ability and experience, other
[2950]unfavorable qualities militate against his retention, the
[2951]Station is considering terminating GERENDE, It is proposed |
[2952]to pay him a termination ‘bonus of $10,000 for 15 years of
[2953]service in accordance with Mexican Iaw and his wife $2,500 as
[2954]a security measure designed to keep her quiet. After discus-
[2955]--~ gion with the desk, FI Staff believes that, if GERENDE is .
[2956]paid the $10,000 termination money, it should not be given to os
[2957]him in one lump sum but should be paid on a monthly basis, VV
[2958]the-amount per month to be determined by the Station, thus
[2959]eliminating the possibility of his squandering it all at
[2960]once and possibly coming back for more of the same, The same
[2961]procedure should be followed in the $2,500 payment to his
[2962]_ wife. In bo$h cases at least an element of control is
[2963]- assured in that both GERENDE and his wife will know that con-
[2964]‘tinued receipt of their monthly payments will depend upon
[2965]their continued loyalty to the agency, In the meantime, we
[2966]feel this man, whose morale, and ability have been seriously
[2967]affected by his marital strife, given time, can perhaps be
[2968]rehabilitated and once again become a valuable Station asset,
[2969]This would ensure his continued loyalty and give him an income
[2970]out of which to pay his alimony. Aside from the foregoing
[2971]. there were no other problems, security or otherwise. All
[2972]ca meetings between the case officer and the new Principal Agent
[2973]are held under secure conditions, or more often if necessary,
[2974]at prearranged dates, times and places. Meetings between the
[2975]P/A and the subagents are held under similar conditions, The
[2976]- Station has been requested to submit an updated emergency re-
[2977]contact plan to be included in the first FY 1971 quarterly ,
[2979]program report for this project,
[2981]; 5. Agents’ salaries, safehouse rentals, motor vehicle
[2982]maintenance and travel, property maintenance and Christmas
[2983]bonuses will total $23,635. Despite the security aspects
[2984]related to the marital difficulties of ‘the erstwhile P/A,

[3181]THROUGH 4 MPS/BG
[3183]SUBJECT = :_-*FY ‘1970 Renewal of Project LIEMPTY for $38,970
[3185]1. Project LIEMPTY, now in its eleventh year, is the Mexican
[3186]Station's operation which provides visual and photographic surveil-
[3187]lance of the Soviet Embassy from safehouses at the front entrance
[3188]and back of the building, as well as from a mobile unit. All Soviet
[3189]personnel and their visitors coaing to the Embassy are photographed.
[3190]From 1 November 1967 to 31 December 1968, approximately 21,367 photo-
[3191]graphs were taken and thousands of pages of surveillance reports were
[3192]completed by personnel .in this project. SB Division is pleased with
[3193]the quantity and quality of the photographs and the Station finds them
[3194]useful for operational purposes against the SB target. During the
[3195]past year several U.S. citizens entered the Soviet installation in
[3196]Mexico City and thefr photographs were identified by the FBI. There
[3197]is a good relationship between the Station and the FBI in Mexico City
[3198]and appropriately sterilized photographs are passed locally.
[3200]2. There have been no significant security problems. ©
[3202]3. The only changes in the project have been the elimination of
[3203]one of the safehouses, which was used as an observation post, and .
[3204]termination of the agent who attended it. No real Toss resulted from
[3205]this change since the safehouse was so located that photographs taken
[3206]from it overlapped those taken from another safehouse. The agent who
[3207]serviced the facility was getting too old to do an efficient job and
[3208]was terminated amicably. Also during the past year a new agent was
[3209]added to the project.
[3211]’ 4. Total funds requested for FY 1970 are $38,970. Salaries and
[3212]Tegally required bonuses for nine agents come to $30,080; safehouse
[3213]rental and maintenance amounts to $6,188; maintenance of two vehicles,
[3214]$1,200; and photo and operational expenses, $1,5CO0. FY 1969 approval
[3215]was for $43,520 and-estinated obligations for this period are $43,500.
[3216]A new, $5,000 vehicle was purchased in FY 1969 and none is needed in
[3217]FY 1970 which accounts for the reduction in costs for the present year.

[3234]: Station's SB-effort. The occasional identification of U.S. nationals
[3235]in contact with the Soviets could have an important bearing on National

[3353]MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Plans
[3354]SUBJECT : LIEMPTY Project Renewal (FY 1970)
[3356]1. Renowal is requested for the LIEMPTY Project for
[3357]the period 1 July 1969 through 30 June 1970 (FY 1970) in
[3358]the amount of $38,970, Funds are available in WH Division.
[3360]~ $45,000 was programmed: for FY 1970,
[3362].2. LIEMPTY is a project supporting Soviet operations
[3363]of the Mexico City Station, It provides for two basehouses,
[3364]a photo surveillance vehicle, and personnel for photographic
[3365]and visual surveillance of the Soviet Embassy. Presently,
[3366]two fixed surveillance points near the Embassy provide the
[3367]location from which the photographs are taken and observers
[3369]are stationed. One basehouse is adjacent to the rear of the
[3371]Embassy, where Soviet officials meet, play and work, The
[3372]other basehouse is across the street from the front of the
[3373]Embassy and gives a direct view of every person entering or
[3374]leaving. There is also a mobile photographic unit (a VW
[3376]van) which 1s now used in support of all Mexico City Station
[3377]operations and in conjunction with the LIEMBRACE surveillance
[3378]tean (used primarily against Soviet targets). Raymond H,
[3380]~ GERENDE, an indigenous contract agent, is the principal agent
[3382]of the operation and meets daily with the basehouse keepers
[3383]and subagents.
[3385]3. LIEMPTY contributes significantly to the Station's
[3386]Soviet operations program and is considered an essential
[3388]‘element of the Station's support apparatus. During the
[3390]period 1 November 1967 through 31 December 1968, approxi-~
[3391]mately 21,367 photographs were taken. In response to a
[3392]request to SB Division for an evaluation of the project, the
[3393]following comment was received: "There are few such sources
[3394]of high resolution phetographs of Soviets, especially giving
[3395]good side views. These photos are welcomed by SB Division
[3396]since they furnish a steady flow of up-to-date identity
[3397]data..." The photos are useful to the Station in confirming
[3398]the identities of Soviet porsennel and visitors to the
[3400]SECRET
[3402]Enbassy, some of whom are U,. S, citizens. During the past
[3403]year, several of these U, S,. citizens were identified with
[3404]the help of the photos (which were passed to the FBI).
[3405]Furthermore, the movements and habits of the Soviets are
[3406]woo Studied, and more knowledge is acquired on their friends

[3408]Sone . ‘tion is useful in target studies. For example, the senior
[3409]. TASS representative, a known KGB officer, is a recruitment
[3410]. . target. He is under intensive operational scrutiny for

[3416]-. 4 During the past year, one of the three basehouses
[3417]a was closed, leaving two, and the agent attending it was
[3418]terminated, This was done because the agent was becoming
[3419]less effective with age, and because there was some over-
[3420]lap between the photos taken from this basehouse and those
[3421]of another. The termination was amicable, and the working
[3422]hours of the personnel of the other basehouse were extended
[3423]: slightly. Another agent was also hired to help. This new
[3424]a agent is of the same family as the rest of the personnel
[3425]occupying the basehouse, and no additional security risks are
[3427]anticipated from this addition.
[3429]5, There have been: no security or administrative prob-
[3431]Jems. The Station and GERENDS are constantly on the alert
[3432]for any sign that the Soviets are aware of the surveillance
[3433]activities. While it is quite possible that the Soviets are
[3435]. aware of the surveillance, so far indications are that they
[3436]are at least not fully aware, since no effort is made by
[3437]them to avoid being photographed, even when having meetings
[3438]with contacts in the rear of the Embassy,
[3440]6. Approval is recommended of this valuable operational’
[3441]support project.

[3685]ADD/P approval of renewal (19 mos.) 1 Dec 67 = 30 Jun 69°
[3687]An operational support project providing three basehouses and
[3688]a mobile surveillance unit to monitor primarily the Soviet —
[3689]Embassy, its personnel and its visltors, by physical and photo«
[3690]graphic surveillance.
[3692]BACKGROUND: ‘The project covers three properties near the Soviet Embassy ,
[3694](two in front of the Embassy's sole entrance and one behind the
[3695]garden) from which visual and photographic surveillance is carried
[3696]out. It also covers a darkroom and @ mobile photographic truck.
[3697]Some of the project personnel are used at times for miscellaneous
[3698]support tasks such as servicing postal boxes and for counter=
[3699]surveillance and other protective services.
[3701]During the past year the project provided nearly o11 of the opera-
[3702]tional photographs and physical surveillance reports used in the
[3703]Station's Operations against the Soviet Embassy and its personnel.
[3704]$B Division says, "This rather unique operation has unquestionably
[3705]made a major contribution to the increasingly effective Soviet
[3706]Operations program of the Mexico Station,”
[3708]The project produces primarily operational data and counterintelli-
[3709]gence information, It provides leads, evidence of which Soviet
[3710]officers have been in the Embassy and which ones have been away,
[3711]who has used which car, who has been talking to whom or golng out
[3712]of the building with whom. (One photograph from this project was
[3713]used in the Warren Commission Report.

[3760]RECOMMENDATIONS
[3762]SECRET,
[3764]MEMORANDUM FOR; Assistant Deputy Director for Plans
[3766]THROUGH: MPS/BG
[3767]SUBJECT: Project LIEMPTY
[3769]1. WH Division requests renewal of LIEMPTY for the
[3770]19-month period 1 December 1967 through 30 June 1969 in
[3771]the amount of $69,725. While this represents a slight
[3772]reduction-on a pro rata basis from the $45,000 for which
[3773]LIEMPTY was approved for the 12-month period starting
[3775]“1 December 1966, it reflects a proportionately modest
[3777]increase in cost for the 19-month renewal period over the
[3778]estimated total disbursement of $40,130 for the past
[3779]project year. This will provide for small salary increases
[3781]“ to meet the rising cost of living for certain of the agents
[3783]involved in the project who have not received raises in
[3784]some time as well as for slightly higher rental fees for
[3785]the various basehouses. The project, now in its tenth
[3786]year, is designed primarily to provide for the collection
[3787]of operational information on the Soviet Embassy in Mexico
[3789]City, including the identification and muvencnts of its
[3791]personnel and visitors. To this end, LIEMPTY. provides
[3793]for the maintenance and exploitation of threé basehouses
[3794]for fixed visual and photographic surveillance of the
[3795]Soviet Embassy and a mobile basehouse in the form of a
[3796]panel truck used for moblle photography against the Polish
[3797]Embassy, leaders and mecting sites of local communist
[3798]parties, and other targets of opportunity. An important
[3799]corollary objective of LIEMPTY is operational support in
[3800]the form of countersurveillance for Agency personnel and
[3801]operations, including those of other bases and stations
[3803]as the needs and requirements of the Mexico Station permit.
[3804]The funds requested include $43,520 for the period 12
[3805]Décember 1967 through 30 November 1968 and an additional
[3806]$26,205 to cover the period 1 December 1968 through 30
[3807]June 1969. The latter tunds are asked for in a supple-
[3808]mental request to put the project on a fiscal year basis.
[3810]2. <A long-term contract agent and eight other support
[3811]agents are involved in the management and operation of the
[3813]14.90000
[3815]LIEMPTY facilities and in surveillance activities directed
[3816]at the primary Sovict target. Some of these agents are
[3817]used also'in dark room photographic processing, letter
[3818]drop, and, on occasion, moving surveillance activities.
[3820]3. This project is only part of the complex:of
[3822]‘Mexico City Station instruments for meeting requirements
[3824]from a number of U.S. agencies, including the FBI. [t=
[3825]is clearly an effective, well-managed support operation
[3827]serving important needs.
[3829]4. No major or significant changes in LIEMPTY
[3830]personnel or operational techniques have been introduced
[3831]nor have there been any known incidents adversely
[3832]affecting. the security of the project or its personnel
[3833]since the previous project renewal period. As a uni-
[3834]lateral operational support effort, LIEMPTY cont inues to
[3835]be a most useful station asset supporting a number of
[3836]station activities. In spite of small increases in costs
[3837]as discussed above, the project is considered to be holding
[3839]the line on cost and personnel.
[3841]5. The objectives of project LIEMPTY are tn direct
[3842]support of priority A objectives 1, 2, and 4 of the current
[3843]Operating Directive for Mexico. It is considered by SB
[3844]Division to have made significant contributions to the
[3845]Station's well developed, high priority Sovict Operations
[3846]Program. During the past year the various LIEMPTY base-
[3847]house installations produced valuable information in the
[3848]form of photographic coverage and physical surveillance
[3849]reports on the daily movements, personal associations and
[3851]: habit patterns of selected targets of special interest.
[3853]In numerous instances this coverage confirmed the specific
[3854]intelligence service connections of Soviet officers in the
[3855]Embassy. Often the identities of Mexicans and nationals of
[3856]other countries in contact with the Soviets were estab-
[3857]lished. The mobile panel truck unit was exploited regu-
[3858]larly to provide information on not only the Soviets but
[3859]also the Cuban target as well as local Communist Party
[3861]targets.

[3895]ACTION ; ADD/P approval! of renewal 1 Dec 66 - 30 Nov 67
[3897]PURPOSE: Provides stationary surveillance against the Soviet Embassy
[3898]and a mobile photographic baschouse which is used primarily
[3899]against the Polish Embassy and local Communist party leaders.
[3901]- PROGRESS: Three basehouses (LIMITED, LILYRIC and LICALLA) pro-.
[3902]vide coverage of both the front and rear of the Soviet Embassy,
[3904]Throughout the past renewal period each operational component
[3905]contributed- actively and concretely to the fulfillment of the
[3906]operational tasks levied on the Station, In the first nine-month
[3907]period approximately 17,000 individual frames of operational
[3908]photographs were provided from the fixed basehouses, These
[3909]served to confirm the identities of Embassy personnel and
[3910]their visitors and provided detailed reporting on the movement
[3911]and habit patterns of selected targets of special interest. The
[3912]mobile unit (LIENTRAP) provided over 1, 000 individual photo--
[3913]graphs. Of particular value were photographs of local and
[3914]exile Communist leaders, Raymond H. GERENDE (p) continued
[3915]in the role as principal agent for Project LIEMPTY, His overall
[3916]operational assignment involved at least 12 clandestine mcetings
[3917]per week, in addition to his meetings with the LIEMPTY project
[3919]oo case officer,
[3921]PROBLEMS: In mid 1966 LICOWL/1, who owns a small store near the
[3922]Soviet Embassy, reported that a Sovict official had approached
[3923]him and asked him to inform on his neighbors. Reportedly the
[3924]Soviet named LIEMPTY/6 of the LIMITED basehouse by name
[3925]and also asked about the tenants of the building housing LILYRIC,
[3926]However, in view of LICOWL's previous history of lying, it is
[3927]difficult to assess exactly what the Soviets requested and just
[3928]what LICOWL/1! may have told them. The Station is still looking
[3930]into this development,

[4101]MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Plans
[4103]SUBJECT : LIEMPTY Project Renewal
[4105]1. It is requestcd that the LIEMPTY Project be
[4106]renewed for the period 1 December 1966 through 30
[4107]November 1967 for a total. of $45,000: $29,020 for
[4108]FY 1967 and $15,980 for FY 1968, The Project is ine
[4110]“cluded in the FY 1967 Operational Program for $45,000,
[4112]Funds are available within WH Division.
[4114]2. \LIEMPTY covers stationary surveillance base-
[4115]houses targeted against the Soviet Embassy, These
[4116]basehouses provide photographic coverage and logs. Two
[4117]of the basehouses (LIMITED and LILYRIC) cover the
[4118]activity in the front of the Embassy, and LICALLA provides
[4119]coverage of the back courtyard area, The LIEMPTY project
[4120]also covers a mobile photographic baschouse in the form
[4121]of a panel truck which is used against the Polish Enbassy
[4122]where we have no permanent surveillance basehouse, and
[4123]against other targets. of opportunity.
[4125]3. The value of Soviet Embassy photographic cover~
[4126]age during thé- past year was proven when the logs
[4127]maintained by LILYRIC were used to double check on-an
[4128]operation involving LIRUSTIC-1 and LICOWL-1 who had told
[4129]conflicting stories of certain events concerning the
[4130]activity of some Soviets. Through the surveillance
[4132]reports of the LIEMPTY Project against the Soviet Embassy,
[4134]it was proven without a doubt that LICOWL-1 (who had just
[4135]taken a polygraph without apparent deception) was lying
[4136]about his contacts with the Soviets.
[4138]4. The LIENTRAP mobile photographic basehouse was
[4139]targeted against leaders and meeting sites of the local
[4140]Communist parties as well as other targets of opportunity,
[4141]particularly exile Communist leaders now residing in
[4143]Mexico, LIENTRAP provided up-dated identification
[4146]14-0000
[4148]“ SCRE. «= |
[4151]photographs of Communist officers which are of value
[4153]to both the JNMTIGER program and the Station's ' |
[4154]recruitment/penctration program. The LIENTRAP ‘
[4155]personnel also regularly service twenty-one postal
[4156]accommodation addresses used by the Mexico City a
[4157]Station. : ‘
[4159]5. One development which may affect the security
[4160]of the LIEMPTY basehouses of LIMITED and LILYRIC
[4161]occurred in mid 1966 when LICOWL-1 (who owns a small :
[4163]. store near the Sovict Embassy) reported that a Soviet .
[4164]official, AEQUALITY-1, had approached him and °
[4165]requested him to inform on his neighbors. Reportedly |
[4166]the Soviet named LIEMPTY-6 (of the LIMITED basehouse) |
[4167]by name and also indicated all the tenants (unnamed)
[4168]_of the new building which now houses LILYRIC, The :
[4169]Soviet pinpointed the building by saying the one being |
[4170]built by a person who fit perfectly the description of:
[4171]LIMOUSINE. LICOWL-1 did not indicate that the Soviet -
[4172]reflected any interest in LIMOUSINE. The occupants of
[4173]the LILYRIC basehouse were not mentioned. LICOWL-1
[4174]indicated to his Station contact that the only person
[4175]he really suspected an the neighborhood was LIEMPTY-6
[4176](of LIMITED) who doesn't go to work, is always typing,
[4177]' lives comfortably. and owns a car, He claims to have -
[4178]heard it rumored that LIEMPTY-6 was working for the ; |
[4179]Americans. (Since LIMITED is cquipped with a radio ‘
[4180]and tips off the Station's surveillance team when it
[4181]‘is used against Soviet targets, Headquarters has
[4182]already assumed that the Soviets have identified this
[4183]baschouse.) LICOWL-1 also listed several persons
[4184]named by the Soviet who had no connection whatsoever
[4186]with CIA,
[4188]6. The Station instructed LICOWL-1 not to become
[4189]an informant on his neighbors, According to LICOWL-1
[4190]he therefore told AEQUALITY-1 he did not have time to
[4191]collect the information the Soviet wanted. However,
[4192]in view of the lies LICOWL-1 has been caught in, it
[4193]is difficult to assess exactly what the Soviets asked ‘
[4194]of LICOWL-1 and just what LICOWL-1 may have told the
[4195]Soviets.. The Station is still looking into this develop-
[4197]ment.

[4220]PROJECT BRIEFING ;
[4221]PROJECT: LIEMPTY _ WH = Mexico
[4222]ACTION : ADD/P approval of renewal 1 Dec 65 = 30 Nov 66
[4224]PURPOSE: To provide support for mobile and stationary photographic
[4225]surveillance of the Soviet Embassy and a dispatching base
[4226]for a physical surveillance team.
[4228]PROGRESS: Assets included under the project include three base-
[4229]houses which provide front and rear views of the Soviet
[4230]Embassy, and a panel truck equipped for spot photo
[4231]coverage. Raymond H. GERENDE (p), principal agent,
[4232]meets the baschouse keepers regularly, maintains regular
[4233]contact with the mobile photo unit and with tho develop-
[4234]ing and processing base. He also verforms many other
[4235]support functions.
[4237]The phetographs from all these operations have been of
[4238]value to the Station in operational planning, for
[4239]identification by survelllance teams, for mug books, and
[4240]for Headquarters permanent files. The Station believes
[4241]that this operation is essential to the fulfillment of
[4242]the overall operational program levied on the Station by
[4244]the RMD.

[4330]MSMORANDUM FOR: Assistant Deputy Director for Plans
[4332]THROUGH: DDP/PG
[4333]SUBJECT: Project LISMPTY Rereval
[4335]1. FI Staff recammends approval of the renewal of Project
[4336]LIEMPTY. This project, costed at $51,500., supports the following
[4337]Mexico City assets: a panel truck used for mobile photography,
[4338]three base houses for fixed photographic surveillance, a contract
[4339]agent manager and eight support agents. One of the base homes is
[4340]used as a control point to dispatch a surveillance team. (The
[4341]latter is not a part of the project, however.)
[4343]2. The LIEMPTY target is the Soviet Embassy and Soviet
[4344]activities in Mexico City. LISMPTY is part of the complex of
[4345]station instruments by means of wich requirements from a variety
[4346]of U.S. agencies are met. One cf the sites provided pictures
[4347]later used in the Warren Cocmission Report, and the publication
[4348]of the report created a security hazard. The Station moved the
[4349]site and it is now back in operation.
[4351]3. The possibility of Soviet intercept of rudio commo to
[4352]the surveillance team has been carefully weighed recently by SR,
[4353]the desk, 0/C and TSD. The decision to accept the risk appears
[4354]to have been taken with due deliberation.
[4356]4. This is clearly an effective, vell-managead operation
[4357]serving an important need. We recommend renewal without hesitation.

[4376]MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Plans
[4377]SUBJECT | : Project LIEMPTY Renewal Request
[4379]1. Renewal is requested for the LIEMPTY Project for
[4380]the period 1 December 1965 through 30 November 1966 for a
[4381]total of $41,500; of this amount, $25,520 should be
[4382]alloted for FY 1966 and $15,980 for FY 1967. This Project
[4383]has been programmed in FY 1966 for $50,000, The last
[4384]Project Renewal was approved at $45,300. Funds are
[4385]available within WH Division,
[4387]2. The security of this Project appears to be good.
[4388]The LIENTRAP photo truck was repainted a different color
[4389]in January 1965 to preserve the security of this vehicle
[4390]which operates extensively in the same general areas, There
[4391]have been no apparent ramifications from the publication
[4392]of the LIMITED Photograph in the Warren Commission Report
[4393]in September 1964,
[4395]3. LIENTRAP is one of two mobile photo surveillance
[4397]-units at the Station, both of which are used extensively
[4399]because of the many requirements for spot photo coverage
[4400]of diplomatic installations, agent mectings, and current
[4401]identification photos of targets among others.
[4403]“4, Although there are three stationary photo
[4404]baschouses under this Project all targeted against the
[4405]Sovict Embassy, there is very little duplication of
[4406]effort, and the coverage of this Embassy would be weakened
[4407]through the termination of any of them. LICALLA covers
[4408]the rear of the Embassy (garden and parking lot) and is
[4409]in a unique position to observe informal meetings and
[4410]activity there. In May 1965 a thorough assessment was
[4411]made of this basehouse to determine whether an audio
[4412]installation could be based here, directed against these
[4413]garden conversations. It was determined that due to the
[4414]high incidence of street and other noises, this was not
[4415]practical. FSD and SR Divisions are conscious of this
[4416]requirement, however, and if any new equipment is
[4417]developed which might make this operation more feasible
[4418]it will be tested. LINITED and LILYRIC which both cover
[4419]the front entrance, provide coverage during different
[4420]parts of the day, and LIMITED also serves as a fixed radio
[4422]SECRET:
[4424]ry oe)
[4426]dispatching base for the LIEMBRACE surveillance tean,
[4428]S$. The photographs from all these operations are of
[4429]value to the Station in their operational planning, for
[4430]identification by surveillance teams, for mug books, which
[4431]are often used by surveillance teams and singleton agents
[4432]in identifying Soviets, and for Headquarter's permanent
[4434]files.”
[4436]6. With reference to the FI Staff comment made last
[4437]year at the time of the Project renewal that the radio dis-
[4438]patching from the LIMITED installation might have made this
[4439]base a tarcet for the RIS, the preblem was discussed in depth
[4440]with the. Office of Comrunications, TSD, and SR Divisions.
[4441]The Statiox: has been alert to the Soviet's monitoring capa-
[4442]bility and they have developed a signaling system and inter
[4443]car communications system that will leave the LIEMSRACE
[4444]surveillance cars on the sir for a minimum of time, and
[4445]with limited open conversation. The result of Headquarters
[4446]and the. Station's research on this problem resulted in the
[4447]conclusion that, if a surveillance team is to operate with
[4448]automobiles, radios must be used if there is to be efficient
[4449]surveillance, and regardless of what presently availak le
[4450]type of scrambling or coding is used, radio is susceptible
[4451]to monitoring by the opposition. It was therefore concluded
[4452]that if the Station is to use the LIEMBRACE team against
[4453]members of the Soviet installation, LIMITED must continue to
[4454]be used as the radio dispatching center and the risk factor
[4455]must be accepted until some new, more secure yet efficient
[4456]commo system is devised,
[4458]7. The reporting en the administration of this Project
[4459]is handled through regular quarterly procress reperts, The
[4460]appropriate Soviet, CP, or other Case Officers handle the
[4461]reporting and exploitation of the product. During the past
[4462]year there were no positive intelligence reports from this
[4464]Project.
[4466]8. Both SR and WH Divisions recommend renewal of this
[4468]Project.

[4480]MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief ‘of Operations, DD/P
[4481]SUBJECT : Project LIEMPTY (Renewal)
[4482]WH - Mexico City
[4484]1. The attached project, originating in WH Division,
[4485]is presented for renewal) for the period 1 December 1960
[4486]through 30 November 1961. The project provides for physi-
[4487]cal and photographic surveillance operations in support
[4488]and exploitation of other Mexico City Station operations,
[4489]particularly those targetted at Soviet personnel and in-
[4491]stallations, ‘
[4493]2. Authority is requested to obligate $53,000 from
[4494]the DD/P-WH Division budget: $31,900 in fiscal year 1961,
[4495]and $21,100 in fiscal year 1962, subject to the availabil-
[4496]ity of funds. The amount includes $38,000 compensation
[4497]for two principal agents, one clerical support agent on an
[4498]hourly basis, and eleven surveillance and support agents;
[4499]$7,000 operational expenses (safehouse procurement, post
[4500]office boxes, rented automobiles, purchase of information,
[4501]vehicle maintenance, and cperational travel); $2,500 re-
[4502]placement, repair and maintenance of photographic equip-
[4503]ment; and $5,500 basehouse rental, utilities, and mainte-
[4505]nance.
[4507]3. The field's renewal request, supported by a cover-
[4508]ing memorandum of the Division, sets forth accomplishments
[4509]of the project in the past year in terms of objectives and
[4510]estimates effectiveness. It is noted that one principal
[4511]agent, Simon D. CLACKETT (p), resigned in October 1960, and
[4512]the four-man surveillance team previously handled by him
[4513]will be transferred to project LITEMPO, coimsequently being
[4514]omitted from LIEMPTY in this renewal. Three basehouses con-
[4515]tinue to be operated under the project: (a) LIMITED, which
[4516]compiles daily logs on arrivals and departures from the
[4517]LIMERICK installation, together with attendance lists of
[4518]LIMERICK employees, and handles the radio dispatch of the
[4519]LIEMBRACE surveillance team on LIMERICK personnel and targets
[4521]SECRET,
[4524]14.90000
[4528]of opportunity. This basehouse also provides photographic
[4529]coverage, concentrated on visitors, (b) LILYRIC which pro-
[4530]vides clandestine photegraphs particularly of visitors -to,
[4531]as well as employees of, the LIMERICK installation, prepares
[4532]weekly reports on LIMERICK employees and their wives, and
[4533]reports on license numbers of sil cars visiting the instal-
[4534]lation. (c) LICALLA, which ccncentrates on photographic
[4535]coverage of LIMERICK employees and their families, as well
[4536]as providing observation on the apparent positions and jobs
[4537]of the target employees, and as well as persomel changes.
[4538]Additional photographic coverage is provided by the mobile
[4539]LIENTRAP vehicle. Principal agent Raymond H. GERENDE (p)
[4540]continues to coordinate basehouse activities; princlpal
[4541]agent Oliver G. SCANTLING (p) ccntinues to be an independent
[4542]asset used to follow-up and exploit operational information
[4543]on target personnel and Installations, to case various in-
[4544]stallations of interest, to acquire oroperty, etc. SCANTLING
[4545]has managed the surveillance team being transferred to
[4546]LITEMPO in the interim rollowing the resignation of CLACKETT.
[4547]The Station notes that activities at the LICALLA basehouse
[4548]were suspended in September 1960 as the result of the ar-
[4549]rest of a knowledgeable TSD technician in another area and
[4550]it is not known precisely when it will be possible to re-
[4551]sume these operations. The Station believes that the
[4552]GERENDE segment is now operating under optimum arrangements
[4553]and SCANTLING will soon be relieved from his interim respon-
[4554]sibility for the surveillance team being transferred to
[4555]LITEMPO and can concentrate more on his investigative and
[4556]casing activities. It is not planned in the coming year to
[4558]expand project activities.
[4560]4. Appropriate Special Staff comporents concur in rec-
[4561]ommending renewal. FI Staff notes the Division's assurance
[4562]that the transfer of the unilateral survelliance team to
[4563]LITEMPO will not affect its independent status, and remarks
[4564]that the current project review presents a clearer plcture
[4565]of the usefulness of the several segments than the previous

[4955]Date: 35 June 1959
[4957]1. It is reqested that avnroval be granted to amend Raymond H. GERENDS's
[4958]contract to crovide him with a termination settlement of one month's salary for
[4959]each full year that he works for KUBARK and to raise his salary effective July
[4960]1939 from 9,020 to 74,560.00 ver year. fis last salary increase was granted on
[4962]1 Sertenber esr. The date, 18 March 1955, has been sugzested by the Station as
[4963]the begimning dite for the computation of CRENDS! s temination benefits. The
[4964]Station telieves that this benefit will nrovide GSRENDS with the necessary
[4965]incentive to make KUBARK a career and at the same time will give the Station an
[4966]additional elexert of control.
[4968]2. As pointed out in the LIGPTY Project Aporoval, GERYNDE, an indigenous
[4969]agent, is one of the Station's most valuable assets, Ee has i. responsible full
[4970]time jod as the LIS PTY Principal Agent whe handles the LINITSD, LYLYIC and
[4971]LICALLA base houses, the LIENTAAP oneratian, the outside ohotographic processing
[4972]and translation service and all the agenta particivating in these activities.
[4973]He performs his duties in a conscientious and orofessicnal manner and his
[4974]already excellent abilities are showing continued improvement.
[4976]3. Money was already allocated in the LIZ-PTY Project aporoval for the
[4977]salary increase. \ith the effective data of 13 March 1955, for the termination
[4978]clause, GERUIDS will already have accrued 11,520 (his salary is $4,560 per year)
[4979]if he should resign today. The LIEMPTY Project, as asproved, has sufficient
[4980]funds to cover this cost if it is necessary to obligate this amount during the
[4981]present Project year. Therefore, no atidijtional funds are requested.

[5020]in event of loss of life or total disability if Incurred in the performance
[5021]of duty. This has not previously been included in the project.
[5023]2. The LISMPTY project hes authorization for the expenditure of

[5062]loss of lize or total disability if incurred in the performance of duty. This
[5063]benefit was included in a contract prepared in the field and signed by Subjact on
[5064]15 February 1957, Tha contract was not submitted to Headquarters for approval
[5065]until Decenber 1958. The Station and WH Division do not want to delete this

[5071]Hea was cranted an Operational Approval on 2 December 195i. SCANTLING bercan his
[5072]employment with SUSARK as a footman on tha LIPSTICK physical surveillance tean and
[5073]gradually becane a driver of a surveillance automobile, then team leader. As team
[5074]leader he was resronsible for the operational deployment and administrative direction
[5075]of the entire LIPSTICK team, threes automobiles, four photographic and radio dispatching
[5076]basehouses and the attendant mobile and stationary radio equipment. He collated the
[5077]fragmentary surveillance reports into finishad intelligence reports for study by the
[5078]Case Officer. SCANTLING develoned into a fine investizator and has obtained infore
[5079]mation where other Station investigative ascets hava failed.
[5081]3. Almost all of SCAITLING's time now is spent following up leads obtained
[5083]from telephones interceots and photographic surveillances. Fron July through
[5084]December 1955 he made approaches to individuals performing services for the Sovict-
[5085]Embassy and he made a detailed casing report of the Wast German Embassy. In addition,
[5086]ha conducted many routine investigations and surveillances, The Station plans to |
[5087]have SCA TLUG attempt to recruit the landlord of the proposed basehouse for a
[5089]. LINIGENT (T/D) operation. SCANTLING no longer nandles thu surveillance team and the
[5090]Station clans to continue to use him as an independent asset. SCALTLING has in his
[5091]possession official credentials of the Federal Security Police (DFS). He has used”
[5092]these credentials in making contacts with targets of various sensitive Headquarters!
[5094]operations (i.e., LOMAYFOJL). ;
[5096]he As a eradvate engineer who has spent at least ten years in house construct tion
[5098]in Mexico, ha has been invaluable to the Station in submitting detailed casing report ts
[5100]including detailed and professional plans of technical targets. He has been com-endad
[5101]by TSS for the support role he has played for then, He has submitted several casing
[5102]resorts on the Soviet inbassy and is an unsaraileled source of information to the |
[5103]Station for information about the Embassy's construction activities, modifications ;

[5122]for the period July through December 1958, It is believed you will find tais negert
[5123]of interest and further support the justification octlined above for the granting to
[5124]SCANTLING of the special doath and disability benefit. This agent assessawnt states
[5126]~————WOliver 0. SCANTLING nas “continued to perform his assigned tasks in an outstanding
[5128]manner, SCANTLING's poise, common sensa, education, idvology, and native ability
[5129]for the pursuit of clandestine activities make him one of the most valuable support
[5130]assets available to the Mexico Gity Station. The fact that SCANTLING has a {12
[5132]- tine overt occupation as Chief Engineer and Production Manager for a local mam-
[5134]facturing company adds to his long-range potentiai as & KUPAKK agent". SCANTLING
[5135]has excellent cover as haif-ower of a local firm waich manufactures farm instru-
[5136]ments and he represents the high calibre of person waich KULARK requires for tha
[5138]institution of their long-term resident agent programs.

[5143]expenso cannot be absorbed by the present project satherisation, an anendmnt will
[5145]be submitted.
[5147]7. It is also requested that offectivea 1 Maren Isso the LIEMPTY Project be
[5148]amended to include LouiseJd. MACNINO, a Contract Agent, who is a Station suvport
[5149]asset. Her OA was reinstatad on 4 August 1958 (C-L1:52). She was fornerly included
[5150]under Project LIMSAT.. Howaver, the Station requiremrits for general translation
[5151]work increased to the extent that it was necessary to usa MACAINO to translate revorts
[5152]other than those originating from LIFSAT. It was therefore decided it would be more
[5153]appropriate to include her under LIZMPTY. She does sping of reports and nan-sensitivo
[5154]translations, She is paid on an hourly basis of 32.02, an estimated yearly salary of

[5183]‘for your approval for an initfal period from 1 December 1958 through
[5184]30 November 1959. The project provides for the development of operational
[5185]information through physical and photographic surveillance operations in
[5186]support of other Mexico City operations, particularly those targetted at —~
[5187]Soviet personnel and installations. Previously these operations were con-
[5189]ducted for the most part under Projects LIPSTICK and LIJERSEY. They are
[5191]incorporated in this new project because of the June 1953 compromise of
[5192]LIPSTICK and to accomplish a more orderly administration of certain opera-
[5194]tional support assets.

[5197]Division operating budget: - 265,580 for the current fiscal year and
[5198]$29,900 in fiscal year 1960, subject to the availability of funds. These
[5199]estimates include: (a) finds for the compensation of the presently-
[5201]" pecruited fifteen action and support agente » 51x new agents, and two
[5203]principal agents: Raymond H, GERSNDE (p) (LIZMPTY/1, formerly LIPSTICK/20)
[5204]and Oliver G, SCANTLING (p) (LIEMPTY/2, formerly LIPSTICK/19); (b) funds
[5206]for the compensation, travel, allowances and Headquarters! training of two
[5207]contract agents, Simon D. CLACKETT (p) and Wilma J, FIORDALISI (p), hia wife,
[5208]who are hereby transfarred: from Project LIMESA; (c) funds for operational
[5209]expenses and 6quipment, including the purchase of four new or used vehicles
[5210]as replacements for previously authorised vehicles and their maintenance,
[5211]and a SP vehicle for SCANTLING; (d) the rent, utilities and maintenance of
[5212]safehousea; and, (e) other appropriate operational expenses.

[5217]Division, and an addendum to the Project Cutline, review the personnel assets
[5218]and facilities transferred from the LIPSTICK and LIJERSEY operations following
[5219]the partial compromiss of LIPSTICK in June 1958 and describe the concept of
[5220]the physical and photographic surveillance operations to ba conducted under
[5221]thia project directed primarily at tha Soviet Kmbassy in Mexico City. These
[5222]surveillances provide photographs and other operational data of peraons entering
[5223]and leaving the building or present in the garden area, and through additional ~
[5224]foot and mobile surveillances, investigative information concerning their
[5225]contacts and destinations. Agent personnel, particularly the principal egenta,

[5239]individuals of operational interest, and to rent rooms, and apartments and
[5240]perform other support activities, The fixed surveillance bases, LIMITED,
[5241]LILYRIC and EICALLA, have’ been in operation for almost three years without —
[5242]having been in any compromising situations insofar se the Station knows.
[5243]Tha. LIPSTICK unit, a panel trick equipped vith. cameras, etc., is considered
[5244]& partioularly valuable asset by the Field, As a replacement for a staff
[5245]agent, Wilfred 0. CLOWSR (p}, who directed and trained the LIPSTICK surveil-
[5246]lance team, the husband and wife team of CLACKATT and FIORDALISI are proposed
[5247]“as qualified individuals to recruit, train, and direct ‘the new LIKMPTY gur-
[5248]“veillance team and maintain its records. Appropriate notional cover was
[5249]arranged for them while in their previous project, LINSSA, as they reaide in
[5250]Mexico. under true nazes. One of the principal agents, GERENDE, will have no
[5251]contact with the new surveillance team, but will be used to conduct special
[5252]investigations, counter-survoillances, and for other aupport sotivities,
[5254]4. The CI Staff aoumonta that LIZMPTY provides soveral typea of physical
[5255]surveillance, sll of which provide information of CI interest, and es a aupport
[5256]“) mechanism, a production review 19 not appropriate cr necessary. The CI Staff
[5257]‘ etates further, that vith the compromise of the LIPSTICK surveillance team
[5258]the Mexico City Station lost its only reliable ani efficient surveillance tean,
[5259]LISMPTY representing the Station's effort to replace that asset. Pecause of
[5260]the great number of CI targets in Mexico City, the CI Staff believes it is
[5261]essential that the Station be given the opportunity, through this project, to
[5262]build another surveillance team capable of operating against sensitive targets.
[5263]additionally, the CI Staff believes the case officer should work at devising
[5264]ostensible sources of incomes for the agents which will stand the scrutiny of
[5266]friends, relatives and less friendly forces.
[5268]5. FI/OPS suggests that the Division consider a gradual reduction of the
[5269]considerable financial and personnel commitments in this project in view of
[5270]the favorubly developing LIENVCY liaison relationship. FI/CPS believes that
[5271]a smaller, more mansgeable support group, with grester Station emphasia on
[5272]selectivity cof tasks and targets could well result in more effective CI and
[5274]FI productivity.

[5351]1, It is requested that the LIEMPTY Project anproval request be
[5352]amended to include Simbn D. CLACKETT (ps) and wilma J. FIOKCALISI (ps),
[5353]U. S. elitizens and contract agents, under this Project in place of the
[5354]Staff Agent written into the field project outline. At the same time it is
[5355]requested that the LIM'SA Froject be amended to delete these contract
[5356]agents from the latter project.
[5358]2. CLACKETT and FLORUsLISI are. now approved under the LIMESA Project,.
[5359]They were recruited in the United States to occupy a sensitive LIMESA base= ~.
[5360]house. because of the sensitivity of the operation and the equinment to be
[5361]installed in the basehouse Headquarters decided U. S. citizens should be
[5362]used. The Station said appropriate documentation and backstoopirg could
[5363]be secured for those agents so they could be viven false identities under
[5365]"which they could live while they occupied the basehouse,
[5367]3. FEXI-2777 (IN 26519), of 14 November 1958, notified Headquarters
[5368]that security factors and difficulty in obtaining adequste documentation
[5369]and backetcpping precluded tre use of U. S. citizens under LIMKSA and re~
[5370]quested permiesion to use indigenous agents for this operation. After dis-
[5371]cussions between John BkuDs, Chief of the Mexican desk, with the LIMESA/
[5372]LIEMPTY Caee Officer in Mexico City, and discussions between representa~
[5373]tives of F1/D, OC, [SS, and WH at Headquarters, Headquarters concurred in
[5374]the field's operational decision to use indigenous agents in the LINESA
[5375]Project. CLACSETT and FIORDALISI received only a very superficial briefing
[5376]regarding the LIMESA Project. It is not believed Subject's limited know-
[5377]ledge of this sensitive operation will pose a security hazard,
[5379]4, Construction on the LIMUST houses is being kept about two weeks
[5380]from completion until indigenous agents can be cleared and recruited. The
[5381]delay in completion is normal beresuse all construction money in Mexico has
[5382]become extremely tignt because of the recent presidential inauguration.
[5384]5. The Station believes CLAChETT will be an excellent replacement for
[5385]wilfred O. CLO.EH (ps), former Staff Agent under Project LIPSTICK, who
[5386]directed and-trained thet surveillance team, CiaChErT has shown a remarkable
[5387]aptitude for clandestine operational activity and surveijlance and investi-
[5388]gative work in particular. He also is interested and enthusiastic in under=
[5389]taking this assignment for KUB.RK, The Station needs a good bilingual agent
[5390]to recruit, train, direct, and develop a strong dependable physical. surveil-
[5391]lance team under LIEMPTY.
[5393]6. Clearances and Contacts: CLACKETT was granted a PCSA on 23 July 1958.
[5394]A Poa/oA for use under LIMBSA was requested on 19 Auyust 1958, FIORDALISI
[5395]was grarted an OA for use under LIMESA on 14 November 1958, Requests have
[5396]been submitted to amend their clearances for use under LIEMPTY, CL.ACKETT
[5397]and FIOHDALISI have signed contracts effective 1 September 1958. The
[5398]sensitivity of the LINtSs Project required them to leave their young son in

[5409]the United Stutes.’ Bacause of this a special benefit of periodic trips to
[5410]their home in Arizona was included in their contracts. Under LINESA their
[5411]quarters were to be provided, An asendment has been requested to their = —
[5412]contracts deleting the special benefit and adding educational and quarters
[5414]allowances, : ;
[5415]7. Notivation and Control: ClaCKETT and FIORDALISI are extremely.
[5417]patriotic and highly motivated as evidenced in their willingness to under-
[5418]take the LIMESA Project and be separated from their son. They have indi-
[5420]‘gated they are more than willing to do whatever is requested of them, no
[5421]‘matter. what. personal sacrifices and hardships are required. Their com-
[5422]plete livlihood is dependent on their KUS.RK income.
[5424]8 Tagkg: CLACKETT will recruit, train, and direct the LIENPTY
[5425]surveillance team. ‘The Station hopes to develop this team into a major
[5426]Station support asset. We will receive instructions and direction from the
[5427]Station Case Officer, FICROALISI will be used to do all the clerical and
[5428]administrative work for the LiENFTY surveillance team,
[5430]9. Communication and Cont:et: CLACKETT will contact the Station Case
[5432]Officer in a clandestine manner, All necessary security precautions will be /
[5433]taken. CLACKEIT will also contact his surveillance agents umer a cover
[5435]which will be determined later by the Station and CLaCKETT. In view of his
[5437]Mexican background, CLACKETT can pass as a Mexican. Details of communication
[5438]and contact arrangements with KoSA&K will be arranged by the Station. Under
[5439]LIEMPTY CLACKETT will be contacted by the same Case Officer he is now con-
[5440]tacted by under LIMESA. CLACKETT and FIORDALISI will be in direct contact
[5441]with relatives and friends in the United States. The cover company has,
[5442]until now, been serving as a letter drop and contact point for emergency
[5444]messages. :
[5446]10. Cover: CLACKETT and FISRDsLISI entered Mexico on United States
[5447]documentation and it is planned they will continue to live in Mexico under,
[5448]true name. CLAChETE has a notional cover as a public relations consultant
[5449]which was established by CCD/NC to use with friends and relatives in the U. S.
[5450]The same cover story can be adooted to cover their proposed use under Li" PTY
[5451]vis-a-vis their United States friends. The Ststion is working on local cover
[5452]for CLAChETT to use in Mexico,

[5496]SUBJECT __ %- Justification for Automobiles under Project LIEMPTY
[5498]re oe Ie- ts: ‘requested that ‘the Mexico city Station be authori sed-to
[5499]purchase. ‘three used -éédana for use by the LIEMPTY surveillance team, The.-
[5500]Station plans to expand the LIS(PTY surveillance team into a larger, vellm ~
[5501]trained. physi¢al surveillance -asset, They. will need three automobiles.
[5502]Private automobiles or commercial transportation will not be satisfactory —
[5503]since the cars trast be outfitted with two-way radios.
[5505]2. Authority is also requested to purchase a panel truck to be used
[5506]in the LIENTRAP operation under this Project which mounts mobile photo-
[5507]graphic surveillances,
[5509]3. It is also requested that a ‘quasi-personal ear be. authorised for
[5510]Oliver G, Scantling (ps). Scantling is an indigenous agent under oral
[5511]contract, A car is s prerequisite for his work for KUBARK which includes
[5512]casings, surveillances, and investigations, Because of the sensitive
[5513]nature of his work, and the heavy use made of the car, tha Station has”
[5514]decided that Scantling should be furnished a QP car.
[5516]4. LIEMPTY agents were formerly carried under the LIJERSEY and
[5518]‘ RIPSTICK Projects, The vehicles used by the LIEMPTY agents under these
[5520]other Projects will be disposed of and new ones will be purchased after
[5521]the above TVA has been approved. The vehicles which will be replaced
[5522]are MV 2148, MV 2147, MV 2138, and MV 2031. One of the surveillance
[5523]ears will be new and will not replace an old car, It was decided that
[5524]these vehicles should be replaced rather than transferred to the LIEMPTY
[5525]Project for security reasons and because of the age of the automobiles,
[5526]The automobiles are 1951 and 1952 models and have been used for sensitive
[5527]surveillance work for over two years, The panel truck which was used in
[5528]the LIENTRAP Operation under the LIPSTICK Project has been operating for
[5529]two years in all parts of the city and has become a security threat. The
[5530]fact that the LIPSTICK surveillance teas knows that the truck exists,
[5531]even to the point that one of the team mendors is the listed owner of the
[5533]truck, also dictates replacement of this vehicle.

[5780]MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Chief, WH Division
[5782]- SUBJECT: KOFACTOR Project Amendment and Termination
[5784]1, The KDFACTOR Project, which provided photographie
[5786]survetllance from two vantage potnts of the Soviet compound .
[5788]{n Mexico City, was determined to be compromfsed due to the —
[5790]VWBLANKET case. The five agents were terminated tn July
[5792]' 1972, _ but the base houses could not be terminated untfl
[5794]January 1973 because ft was necessary to sell one and the
[5795]termination of the second was tied to the termination of
[5796]KDABBEY who owned the second base heuse. It was necessary
[5797]to pay rent for several extra months until] these other
[5798]términations could be effected.
[5800]2. The base houses and agents have now all been ter-
[5801]minated and the Station already has rented a replacement.
[5802]safehouse with new agents to provide the same coverage
[5803](KDALCOVE).

[5927]MEMORANDUM FOR: Assistant Deputy Director for Plans
[5928]SUBJECT: Security Review of Project KDFACTOR
[5930], 1. At the time you approved the renewal of Project
[5931].-. . KDFACTOR in December 1971 you asked that the Station
[5932]conduct an updated security review of this operation,
[5933]which provides photographic surveillance of the Soviet
[5934]_ Embassy in Mexico City. You asked that particular atten-
[5935]tion be paid to terminated agents and their families.
[5936]The Station has made a security review and a detailed
[5937]report on the findings, from Chief, WH Division, is
[5939]attached.
[5941]2. The report discusses the history of the opera-
[5942]tion, describes security problems of the past and steps
[5943]taken to remedy them, and discusses the security and
[5944]operational situation of the agents presently covered
[5945]by the project. The report notes that the two opera-
[5946]tional sites and their associated agents are compart-— —
[5947]mented from each other and that processing the film is
[5948]now being done inside the Station. One section of the
[5949]report discusses in detail the assets who were formerly
[5950]involved in these operations but have been terminated.
[5951]The final section of the report describes current secu-
[5952]rity: practices and notes that an alternate photographic
[5953]surveillance site has been procured and is available
[5954]for use should the present one be compromised.
[5956]3. The report demonstrates that the security of
[5957]the operation is being kept up to high standards and
[5958]that there are no potential security threats from
[5959]former agents that the Station is not aware of. The
[5960]FI Staff believes that the Station's security review
[5961]and the attached report satisfy the requirements of
[5963]j your request.

[6016]“REFERENCE : ADDP Memo (DD/P 1-5899) to C/WHD dated
[6017]14 December 1971
[6019]I. In response to reference the following is a summary of the
[6020]KDFACTOR security review:
[6022]The Station summary of the KDFACTOR Project security is
[6023]as follows:
[6025]‘There were no known problems of security relating to
[6027]the Project. In response to the Headquarters request, we have
[6029]reviewed all phases of the operation and believe that Project
[6031]security is sound. The Project assets have all been with us for
[6033]many years and have established themselves as respectable long-
[6035]time residents of the area, All five assets, four in one family
[6037]and one in another, are extremely security conscious and have
[6039]all been SGSWIRLED,’ The assets derive a substantial portion
[6040]of their livelihood from their Agency employment and would thus
[6041]lose a great deal if security factors ever necessitated a termina- .
[6042]tion of their work for us,, As an additional safeguard, the
[6044]KDLITERAL and KDABSINTHE operations are compartmented
[6046]from each other, 2nd there has never been any indication that
[6048]either segment cf KDFACTOR knows of the other's existence",
[6050]The Headquarters desk has also reviewed the security of the .
[6051]KDFACTOR Project and agrees with the Station that the security |
[6052]is sound, In fact, as presently constituted, the KDFACTOR :
[6053]Project is well compartmented, and each of the two KDFACTOR Co
[6054]photo basehouses (KDLITERAL and KDABSINTHE) is run by long- DG
[6055]term assets whe draw a minimum of suspicion in their operational id
[6056]activities. Terminated assets could possibly expese the existence

[6068]of this project, but that seems unlikely from the Headquarters

[6072]. operational activities. A Soviet investigation of property owner-
[6073]ship around the Soviet Embassy and their awareness that the
[6074]Soviet Embassy was under photographic surveillance in the past
[6075]could result in a Soviet investigation of the activities and contacts
[6076]of KDABBEY-1, the owner of an apartment building and four
[6077]houses close to the Soviet Embassy, It is doubtful that KDABBEY-1's
[6078]activities, which do not inter-relate with the activities of the
[6079]KDFACTOR agents, would in any way expose the KDFACTOR
[6080]Project operational activities,
[6082]2, A brief history of the KDFACTOR Project:
[6084]The KDFACTOR Project had its origins in the LUERSEY
[6086]and LIPSTICK Projects, both active in the mid-1950's, In 1958, after
[6087]the arrest of two LIPSTICK surveillance team members, it was decided
[6088]to break off the more sensitive, uncompromised LIPSTICK assets manning
[6089]and supporting two basehouses for photo surveillance of the Soviet Embassy,
[6090]These asséts were consolidated with one photo basehouse against the Soviet
[6092]. Embassy and one ‘surveillance team from the LIIERSEY Project into a new
[6093]project-(LIEMPTY), which was approved on 16 January 1959. The LIEMPTY
[6094]Project, renamed the KDFACTOR Project in 1971, consisted of three photo
[6095]‘basehouses, two viewing-the front of the Soviet Embassy (LIMITED and
[6096]LILYRIC) and one viewing the rear garden of the Soviet Embassy (LICALLA),
[6097]plus a mobile surveillance team (LIENTRAP) tied closely with the LIMITED
[6098]basehouse, which was the radio control point for dispatch of the LIENTRAP.
[6100]- - In 1959 the LIENTRAP surveillance vehicle and two team
[6102]members were arrested at the scene of a Cuban demonstration in Mexico
[6104]City, A Station review of the security implications of this incident stated
[6106]that it did not materially affect the security of the project nor expose any
[6108]of the LIEMPTY basehouse operations, (Note: As the basehouse operations ’
[6110]were compartmented, the only exposure possible from this incident would
[6112]have been of the LIMITED basehouse, which is no longer in existence, }
[6114]The LIEMPTY Project operated substantially as above until “
[6116]the Warren Commission report was published in late 1964, In this publica-
[6117]tion was a picture of a person entering the Soviet Embassy taken from the
[6119]. LIMITED basehouse. The LIMITED photo basehouse was closed in Sept-
[6120]ember 1964, and all photographic surveillance was suspended as a security
[6121]precaution. In January 1965 the LIMITED basehouse was relocated, and
[6123]SECRET

[6128]pt SECRET
[6132]later that year the building it had previously been in was razed by the v
[6134]owner, KDABBEY-l. From 1964 on it must be assumed that the Soviet
[6135]_. Embassy in Mexico City beUleves it is under regular photographie sur-
[6136]. velllance, \ .
[6138]: Further project changes took place in 1966 when the LILYRIC
[6139]basehouse was relocated to another apartment with approximately the’
[6140]same view, In May 1968 the LIMITED basehouse was terminated and
[6141]LIEMPTY-6, the basehouse keeper, retired. This affected the LIENTRAP
[6143]_- ‘eoverage of Soviet véhicular movement monitored and directed from the
[6144]- LIMITED basehouse, With the.clesing of LIMITED and the Station decision
[6146]to replace Raymond H. GERENDE, Mexican national contract agent who
[6147]handled the LIEMPTY Project since its inception, the LIENTRAP mobile
[6148]surveillance team was underemployed, and the decision was made to move
[6149]it to the LIEMBRACE Project. This was done in early 1970, soon after
[6150]GERENDE had been relieved of operational responsibilities in December
[6152]1969.
[6154]The photo processing of the KDOFACTOR (formerly LIEMPTY)
[6155]film take is now being done by the Station, In the past, it was done by
[6156]the Station, by GERENDE, and by KDFACTOR-I1, who was terminated
[6157]amicably in early 1971. The building housing the KDLITERAL (formerly
[6158]LICALLA) photo basehouse was purchased in 1957 by KDABBEY-1! for
[6159]the Station, KDLITERAL is in a row of four houses all owned ostensibly
[6160]by KDABBEY-1! but actually by the Agency, This row also houses a base-
[6161]house for FID's KDVAULT Project. The apartment building housing the
[6162]KDABSINTHE (formerly LILYRIC) photo basehouse is owned outright by
[6163]KDABBEY-1, who has been most: cooperative in assisting the Station in
[6165]‘maintaining and occasionally moving (1965 and 1966) photo basehouses,
[6167]Thd LIMITED photo basehouse was dlso located on KDABBEY-1's property
[6168]when it was active. ,
[6170]The individual basehouse operations are and have always been
[6171]compartmented one from the other, The only points of breakdown in the
[6172]compartmentation have been: (a) the LIMITED basehouse was linked to
[6173]the LIENTRAP mobile surveillance; (0) KDFACTOR-1 was processing
[6174]films from all the basehouses and could, therefore, be aware of their
[6175]exact locations; (c) GERENDE was aware of all aspects of the KDFACTOR
[6176]operation, and has since been terminated; (d) Oliver G, SCANTLING,
[6177]Station contract agent retired in 1971, was aware of the KDFACTOR Project

[6275]Regarding the security of the above active KDFACTOR agents,
[6277]- the KDLITERAL basehouse is handled by KDFACTOR-2 with the assistance
[6279]of his wife, KDFACTOR-10. They have a long-time maid and a 13-year-
[6281]old san who lives with them in the basehouse, Neither the son nor the maid
[6282]is believed to be witting. The photographic equipment is kept in a locked
[6283]room, and the product is kept in a locked safe. KDFACTOR-2 was recruited
[6284]by KDCALVERT-1, who is an active, long-term Station agent in the
[6285]KDCALVERT Project and whois not considered a threat to KDFACTOR-2's |
[6286]security. KDFACTOR-2's activities are also known to his brother, the
[6287]former LIPSTICK-47, who was one of the two LIPSTICK surveillance team
[6288]members arrested in 1958 and who gave the police considerable information
[6289]regarding LIPSTICK surveillance activities, LIPSTICK-47 was terminated
[6290]in late 1958:and is believed to have withheld from the police the information
[6291]regarding KDFACTOR-2 and the KDLITERAL basehouse. KDFACTOR-2
[6292]and his family have occupied the KDLITERAL basehouse since 1957 and
[6294]have been discreet and security conscious in their dealings with neighbors

[6306]. The KDABSINTHE basehouse is manned by KDFACTOR-5, his
[6307]wife KDFACTOR-6, and his two sons KDFACTOR-8 and KDFACTOR-9.
[6308]The, SGSWIRL of 2 March 1966 went into detail on who is witting of
[6309]KDFACTOR-5's work for the Station, The result was that his immediate
[6310]family, including a married daughter who no longer lives at the basehouse,
[6311]are aware of the photographic operation. KDFACTOR-5 was recruited by’
[6312]LIEMPTY-I2, a U., S. citizen with a private company in Mexico City who.
[6313]is no longer working with the Station but who is considered patriotic 2 and
[6314]no threat to KDFACTOR security,
[6316]4, Terminated Agents Possibly Affecting Present Project Security:
[6317]A. Raymond H. GERENDE
[6321]GERENDE is a Mexican citizen and was a contract agent
[6322]until his termination on 26 June 1970. He had been employed by the Station
[6324]intermittently since 1955 and was used almost exclusively in support activities,
[6326]Since the start of the LIEMPTY Project in 1958 GERENDE had been directly
[6327]involved with this project serving as cutout to the basehouses, carrying and
[6328]processing films, ..and giving general direction to the project as principal
[6329]agent, In 1969, after years of.excellent service with the Station, GERENDE
[6330]had serious marital problems which ended in separation from his wife,
[6331]KDFACTOR-7. From December 1969 to June 1970 GERENDE was not used
[6332]operationally but was ‘maintained on half pay with the hope the divorce pro-
[6334]" ceedings would be completed quickly, When it became apparent the divorce
[6336]would drag on interminably, the Station reluctantly terminated GERENDE
[6338]: and his wife. Bruce H. FERNALD, career agent, met with GERENDE
[6340]monthly from July 1970 through May 1971 while paying him his termination
[6341]bonus in ten installments, GERENDE is still living in Mexico City, where
[6343]- he owns some property and has an income as an English teacher to employees
[6345]of two local firms, He visited his wife and children in Holland in December
[6346]1970, It appears he may now be financially pressed as his English class
[6348]' . schedule has been cut back, The Station as of 10 April 1972 had no informa-
[6350]tion that would indicate GERENDE has violated hig secrecy agreement,
[6352]There is an indication that GERENDE came to the attention
[6353]of the Soviets in 1968; A Mexican walk-in to the FBI office in Mexico City,
[6354]who was later interrogated by the Federal Security Police in 1970, said
[6355]that in 1968 he had been employed by the Soviet Embassy Second Secretary,
[6356]Oleg Masksimovich Nechiporenko (20!1-305870), to investigate persons
[6357]working with the Mexican Olympic Committee. The persons investigated
[6359]SECRET
[6361]SECRET =n,
[6365]A)
[6367]included GERENDE, who apparently became a specific target of Soviet
[6368]invéstigation. It is unclear. from the report of the Federal Security Police
[6369]how far the Soviet-investigation of GERENDE had proceeded, Nechiporenko
[6371]° -. Was. PNG'd from Mexico in March 1971, GERENDE's possible exposure to
[6373]the Soviets could have:been through his work on the Olympic Committee as
[6374]a translator or through his work for the Station, which used him for a wide
[6375]rangé, of Support tasks against the Soviet and Cuban targets,
[6377]. B KDFACTOR-?7 (wife of GERENDE)
[6379]“ge ; KDFACTOR-? is a Dutch citizen and the former wife of
[6380]GERENDE, She returned to the Netherlands in July 1970 with her children,
[6381]She had served as a support agent assisting GERENDE. She is believed
[6382]witting, in general terms, of GERENDE's activities regarding the KDFACTOR
[6383]Project. She was-terminated on 26 June 1970 and signed both a secrecy
[6384]agreement and quit claim, After termination it became apparent that she
[6385]had considerable hard feelings toward both the Agency and GERENDE over
[6386]financial‘problems between her family and GERENDE,. While the Station
[6387]was not directly involved in all the financial problems, the Station was
[6388]involved in regard to her divorce claims against GERENDE's salary, a
[6389]large part of which came covertly from the Station, In July 1970 KDFACTOR-7
[6390]came to the Agency Headquarters and complained about her financial settle-
[6391]ment, In September and November-1970 she wrote two letters directly to
[6392]the Agency on the same subject. In late 1970 she also asked a Hague Embassy
[6393]political officer to put her in contact with the Agency; however, she did not
[6394]tell him the nature of her business. In January 1971 the Agency contacted
[6395]KDFACTOR-‘'s brother, a U. S; Army civilian with a "Top Secret” clearance
[6396]living in Alexandria, Virginia, and was able to resolve the financial mis-
[6397]understandings with KDFACTOR-7, In January 1971 the Hague Station
[6398]reported KDFACTOR had, without Station influence, obtained a job as social
[6399]secretary with the Department of State-at the Embassy. It is believed that
[6400]this job has probably solved many of her financial problems and should also
[6401]inhibit her from exposing her past work with the Mexico City Station, as
[6402]such exposure could jeopardize her job, The Embassy in the Hague was
[6403]briefed in general terms on KDFACTOR-7's background.
[6405]C. KDFACTOR-1
[6407]KDFACTOR-1 is a Mexican citizen and the brother-in-law
[6408]of GERENDE, He was hired by the Station in 1956 to assist GERENDE in
[6409]processing the photographic take of the KDFACTOR Project (at that time
[6410]the LIPSTICK Project and later the LIEMPTY Project), KDFACTOR-1
[6412]SECRE:
[6414]14-0000
[6416]SECRET =
[6419]was later assisted in processing the photographic take by his wife,
[6420]LIEMPTY-5, whois GERENDE's sister. KDFACTOR-1 was terminated
[6421]in March 1971, and the photegraphic processing previously done by
[6422]KDFACTOR-1 is-now doné‘in the Station. The termination was amicable
[6424]_-and largely due to delays in film processing as KDFACTOR-I's medical
[6426]practice expanded, © There does not appear to be any security problem
[6427]in the termination of KDFACTOR-1 as he is discreet and also a close
[6428]relative of GERENDE, The security of processing the film in KDFACTOR-I's
[6430]_ Medical office was good as KDFACTOR-I's wife, LIEMPTY-5, was assist-
[6431]‘ing him with the processing and with the security of the darkroom.
[6433]D. LIEMPTY-5
[6435]LIEMPTY-5 was hired by the Station in 1957 to assist
[6436]KDFACTOR-I with the processing of KDFACTOR films, She is the sister
[6437]of GERENDE and wife of KDFACTOR-l. She was terminated along with
[6438]KDFACTOR-I in March 1971, Due to her close relationship with GERENDE
[6439]and KDFACTOR-I, she is not considered a threat to the Project Security.
[6441]E. Oliver G. SCANTLING
[6443]. SCANTLING is a Mexican citizen who worked as a Station
[6444]agent from 1954 until his termination without prejudice in February 1971,
[6445]SCANTLING is in an excellent financial position and has assisted the
[6446]Station in recent-years largely because his strong motivation to work
[6447]against the Communists, SCANTLING worked as a surveillance team
[6448]leader from 1954 to 1957 and then in the LIEMPTY (KDFACTOR) Project
[6449]from 1958 through 1966, He was the cut-out to LIEMPTY-6 and a back-up
[6450]principal agent for GERENDE. SCANTLING's termination was amicable,
[6451]and he is not considered a security problem to the Station or the KDFACTOR
[6453]Project.
[6454]_F, LIEMPTY-6
[6456]LIEMPTY-6, a Mexican citizen and long-term Station
[6457]asset, was retired in May 1968, He had manned the LIMITED photo base-
[6458]house with his wife and son assisting him, He had been working with the
[6459]Station since 1954, but age and ill health had reduced his efficiency.
[6461]’ LIEMPTY-6 knows GERENDE and SCANTLING, but is not aware of the
[6463]names or locations of any of the present KDFACTOR agents and basehouses,
[6464]While he could give information on his participation in KDFACTOR activities
[6465]up to 1968, he has no motive to do this and is apparently happily retired on
[6466]his ‘Agency termination bonus plus some financial assistance from his son-
[6467]in-law, He is not considered a threat to the security of this Project.
[6469]SECRET
[6472]= SECRET es
[6474]There was one indication that the Soviets were seeking
[6476]out the- LIMITED photo basehouse and may have had suspicions. concerning
[6477]LIEMPTY-6, This was a report by KDADAGE-10 that in mid-1966 Stanislav
[6478]Sergeyevich Silnikov (201-271103), a Soviet Embassy guard, asked KDADAGE-
[6479]10 to report on his neighbors near the Soviet Embassy, Silnikov expressed
[6480]interest in all the occupants of the new apartment building which houses the
[6481]KDABSINTHE photo basehouse,. but did not mention the KDABSINTHE base-
[6482]house keepers by name. Siinikov did name specific persons he was inter-
[6483]ested in and these included LIEMPTY-6, KDADAGE-10, of unknown .
[6484]reliability, said he did not give Silnikov any information, ‘but added that,
[6485]between himself and the Station, he suspected LIEMPTY-6 and had heard
[6487]it rumored he worked for the Americans. In 1966 Headquarters already
[6488]assumed the Soviets were aware of the LIMITED basehouse because it was
[6489]used for radio direction of the LIENTRAP mobile surveillance, In any case,
[6490]_the Soviets apparently took no action prior to the closing of the LIMITED
[6491]basehouse and the relocation of LIEMPTY-6 in May 1968, It is bélieved
[6493]this incident has no implications that would threaten the security of current
[6495]KDFACTOR assets,
[6496]5.. Current KDFACTOR Security Practices:
[6498]The two photo basehouses, KDLITERAL and KDABSINTHE
[6499]remain compartmented, as they-have been throughout the history of the
[6500]Project. The Station case officer responsible for the project meets weekly
[6501]with KDFACTOR-2, responsible for the KDLITERAL basehouse, and with
[6502]KDFACTOR-5, responsible for the KDABSINTHE baschouse, In these
[6503]meetings he picks up the product, provides new supplies, pays salaries
[6504]and handles miscellaneous administrative matters, These are car meetings
[6505]usually held in early morning or at night and the pickup puints are changed
[6506]regularly. Meeting time is kept toa minimum and meetings are pre-
[6508]. Scheduled whenever possible, The photographic product is processed in
[6510]the Station, thus increasing the security and timeliness of its handling
[6512]over the past practice of having KDFACTOR-1! process it in his office
[6513]darkroom, The case officer only meets with KDFACTOR-2 and KDFACTOR-S5;
[6514]however, in‘emergencies other witting family members of either basehouse
[6515]can be contacted and met, In case the present sites or personnel are com-
[6516]promised, the Station has rented another apartment in the building housing
[6518]the KDABSINTHE basehouse and has installed members of the KDCALVERT

[7112]Section 3 below (2EFECTIVENESS),
[7114]'
[7118]A. Cperational
[7120]1. The majon change during the preceeding: period has been
[7121]the closing of the LIMITSD basehouse and the termtnation of
[7122]LIEMPTY=—. This has resulted in considerable financial
[7123]saving with nO loss tin ellicioncy-elo the contrary, as a
[7124]matter of fact. The major reason for the change was the
[7125]fact that LTEMPYy-.o was frowtnp less reliable with age. He
[7126]was not always able to be on the job, and when he was, his
[7127]fixed surveillance reporting was occasionally inuccurate,
[7128]and bis photerraphy was often poor, There had been
[7129]considerable overlap between LILYRIC and LIMITED reporting,
[7130]and with the closing of LIMIT#D, the LULYRIC working hours
[7131]were extended slightly so that Cull working hours of the
[7132]FISTEAL instablation continued to be covered. ‘The only
[7133]disadvantage to this arrangement ts that the vantage point
[7134]ol the FISTEAL installation which had been shared by .
[7135]LIMITLD and LILYRIC will now go uncovered during pertods of
[7136]annual leave by LILYRIC personnet (the LULYRIC personnel
[7137]are all members of one family and normally take their
[7139]leave together),
[7140]t
[7142]2. There have been no echanves in the operating procedures
[7143]and techniques of LUSMPTY<0 in the LICALLA baschouse, The
[7144]refinements deseribed in the previous Project Cutline have
[7145]been elfective and have been maintained, The same can be
[7146]said of LYEXTRAP, which has become a much more flexible
[7147]tool since its partial interration inte the LIEMBRACE team,
[7148]There have been no changes in LILYRIC precedures, other
[7149]than expansioa of coverage to include the entire working
[7151]week,
[7153]B,. Financial ~ LILMPTY=9 was granted a salary increase, etfective
[7154]1 May TOUCH, In recognition of his excellent job pertormance,
[7155]LIPMPry-14 and -27 were eranted salary increases on ld May 1968,
[7156]largely as compensation aor the extra hours they agreed to put
[7158]in to ‘nsure fulletime coverare of the FJSTEAL tnstallation by
[7159]LILYRIC, Memoranda of Cral Agreement covering these three salary
[7160]increases were florvwarded with HMMA-34573, 2 May 1yes8, Finally,
[7161]LIESETY-Ll was sranted a salary increase cirective 1 January
[7163]19S, in recopnition of his increased work load with the LIEMRRACH

[7172]J]. As noted above, LIEMPTY=5 was terminated effective
[7174]31 May 1968 tn connection with the closing of the LIMITED
[7175]bazehouse, Termination was completely amicable, and
[7176]LIZEMPTY-" received a generous termination bonus,
[7178]2, LIcMPTY-26 was hired as of 1 May 19.8 to help LILYRIC
[7179]personnel maintain their expanded coverage. No security
[7180]factor is involved, as LIVPTY=2i is part of the same tanily
[7181]as the rest of the LILYRIC personne], LILMPTY-}2.) had been
[7182]granted an OA in 195 and had been used sporadically since
[7184]that time.
[7186]3, An amendaent to GeRENDE's contract has been requested,
[7187]This amendment would puarantce GERENDE termination benetits
[7188]equal to these provided for by Mexican law, in tho event of

[7210]gate of the FISTNAL installation, During the seven-month
[7211]period from 1 November 1947 through 31 May 1968, the LIMITED
[7212]base provided 911 frames of operational photographs. In
[7213]additicn, the LIMITED base provaded over 1,000 pages at
[7214]physical surveillance reports,
[7218]During the Project year under review, the LILYRIC installation
[7219]provided extensive photographic and fixed visual] surveillance
[7220]of the front of the FJISTLAL installation. The LILYRIC base-
[7221]house provided the majority of the operational photoyranhs
[7222]produced by the LIEMPTY Project, During the IS-nmenth period
[7223]fron 1 November (1967 through 31 December 1968, the LILYRIC
[7224]basehouse provided 15,331 operational photographs and several
[7226]14-0000
[7228]thousand pares ef physical surveillance reports covering the ee
[7229]daily movements of all FISTAAL officers, As a specific
[7231]exanple of the impertance of LILYRIC coverage, it was LILYRIC
[7232]photes which made pessible the identification of a WCLADY
[7234]citisea who had been in clandestine contact with an AEGRIP
[7235]ofticer., This information was turned over to LNERGO, which
[7237]was pursuing the case, In gencral, LILYRIC provides the
[7239]Station with a Jarse percentage of the CI raw material .
[7240]collected on the FUISTEAL tarcet, such as automobile license
[7241]nunbers, PCS and TDY arrivals -andtdepartures, unusual
[7243]activities such as demonstrations, unusual or lengthy
[7245]absences of personnel, etc, This information also has
[7247]positive operational value, but its most important use is as
[7249]the wajor source of jdentificatton of FISTHAL personnel and
[7251]ef infermation on their movements, The Station has frequent
[7252]requests from LNURGO which can only Le fulfilled by LIAMPTY
[7253]coverave, and this "permanent and cowplete record” of FISTEAL
[7254]activities is dnavaluable for servieing the CE requirements

[7453]PROBLEMS AND SECURITY
[7455]During the Project year under review there were no known incidents
[7456]which adversely aifected the security et Project LISMPTY or the
[7457]related personnel, The termination of LINMPTY-c caused no problems,
[7458]nor did the construction of a maid's raom on the root of the LICALLA
[7459]installation, adjacent to LIEMPTY-9's pieto point. There is no
[7460]indication that FUSTEAL personnel had anv suspicions about the
[7461]construction work. The exposure of a LIEMBRACE surveillance
[7463]vehicle (see NeXTCO CITY 283, 28 Fehrvary 10-9) caused momentary
[7464]econctrn because the vehicle had been bought from a dealer where
[7465]LIEMPTY-O9 has a part-time job, Along with all other employees
[7467]of the auto dealer, LIES©TY-9 was questioned abort the purchaser
[7469]of the ear. While L PY. was worried because he knew the
[7470]purchaser of the car and was able to guess what had happened,
[7472]the investigation was dropved and the case closed without any
[7473]adverse effect on LIEXDTY-y or the LICALUA basehouse.

[8021]MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Plans
[8022]“SUBJECT : LIEMPTY Project Renewal
[8024]1. Renewal of Project LIEMPTY for the period: 1 Decem-
[8025]ber 1967 through 30 November 1968 in the amount of $43,520
[8026]is hereby requested, $26,205 would be spent in FY 1968 and
[8027]$17,315 in FY 1969. The project was budgeted for $45,000 for
[8028]FY 1968; funds are available within the Division. Estimated
[8029]costs for the coming project year are a little less than the
[8030]amount programmed for the previous year and a little more
[8031]than what was actually disbursed.
[8033]. 2. LIEMPTY is designed to provide physical surveil-
[8034]lance of the Sovict Embassy in Mexico City. It covers three
[8035]Nearby properties (two in front of the Embassy's sole entrance
[8036]and one behind the garden) from which visual and photographic
[8037]surveillance are carricd. out by experienced personnel. The
[8038]project also covers a darkroom where a technician processes
[8039]the photographs, In addition to collecting this basic informa-
[8040]tion on a primary target, certain of the LIEMPTY personnel
[8041]are also available for miscellaneous support tasks, such as
[8042]servicing postal boxes, and running fixed and moving surveil-
[8043]lances. The photo truck which comes under the project is
[8044]used on other targets as well, such as CP members, satellite
[8045]embasSies, and Latin American exiles. One of the basehouses
[8046]is also used as a radio dispatch point for the LIEMBRACE sur-
[8047]veillance team, but this function has been minimized during
[8048]the past year in an effort to prevent Soviet interception of
[8050]the signal,
[8052]3. a. The Mexican desk asked the appropriate opera-
[8053]tional component of SB Division for specific comment on the
[8054]value of LIEMPTY, and received the following:
[8056]"This rather unique operation has
[8057]unquestionably made a major contribu-
[8058]tion to the increasingly effective
[8059]Soviet Operations program of the
[8060]Mexico Station. On the positive
[8061]side its principal value lies.in the

[8077]ot LIEMPTY also provides us with a much
[8078]: ‘¢learer picture of the inner relation-
[8079]\ . ships: and activity patterns within the
[8080]Soviet mission itself, which in turn
[8081]facilitates effective targeting. The
[8082]1 CE value of a LIEMPTY type project as
[8083]i ..  & monitor of real and potential agent
[8084]contacts is of course obvious. It is
[8085]i a important to note that LIEMPTY is not,

[8088]lesser overall capability, a simple
[8089]case of photography (or observation)
[8090]for the record, Rather it is an import-
[8091]ant facet of a concerted high priority
[8092]effort to get at and recruit individual
[8093]Soviets,"
[8095]b. Station reporting has been in a similar vein.
[8096]Information produced is largely for operational purposes and
[8097]we often lack detail as to specific utility in a given situ-
[8098]ation, although we can produce statistics on numbers of photo-
[8099]graphs produced and numbers of pages of surveillance notes,
[8101]It is clear that the FBI is an interested customer and they
[8102]have received from LIEMPTY a great many reports on American
[8103]callers at the Soviet Embassy, and valuable support to double
[8104]agent operations. :
[8106]ec. During a conversation on 8 December 1967, the
[8107]officer who heads the station's SB section told the branch
[8108]that. LIENPTY is basic and essential to all of his branch's
[8109]operational planning, that he "grabs the LIEMPTY material
[8110]first thing in the morning" and studies it for leads, evidence
[8111]of which Soviet officers have been in the Embassy ana which
[8112]ones have been away, who has used which car, who has been talk-
[8113]ing to whom or going out of the building with whom, etc. etc,
[8115]‘New additions to the Embassy staff can be tabbed as KGB or |
[8117]GRU by their associates, their activity patterns and the cars
[8118]they drive. (The I,S, men are often away from the Embassy,
[8120]: while the legitimate FSO's tend to spend more time in their
[8122]offices, The KGB, GRU and regular diplomatic groups seldom
[8123]cross lines but stay within their own tight groups.) When
[8125]SECRET

[8129]“SECRET
[8131]G
[8135]“double agents are turned over from one case officer. to a new
[8137]one, known to them only in alias, we are often able, through
[8138]surveillance and photographs, to establish the true identity
[8139]of the new case officer, as was done in the case of AEGIMMICK
[8141]in the spring of 1967.
[8143]4. In assessing the security of the operation, the
[8144]station assumes that the Soviets realize that they are being
[8146]. watched, as was.evidenced by a Soviet officer's trying to
[8148]ahield-an FBI-directed walk-in from observation. There have
[8150]“been rumors that anyone centering the Soviet Embassy is photo-
[8152]graphed, but no allegations that the Americans are doing it
[8153]have come to our attention; the probable assumption is that
[8154]the Mexicans are doing this. A former source who lives in
[8156]the neighborhood was asked on several occasions what he knew |
[8157]about LIBMPTY/6, one of the safchousekeepers, and the Soviets
[8158]have said they think he is watching them. On the security of
[8159]the LICALLA safehouse there is a difference of opinion,
[8160]GERENDE, the outside case officer, thinks the Soviets are
[8161]aware that they are being observed from this post, but station
[8162]disagrees and produces good justification for its views, cit-
[8163]ing the fact that the above-mentioned FBI walk-in was not
[8164]shielded when led into the back garden which LICALLA overlooks.
[8165]We ‘have no cvidence that Soviet interest is any threat to the
[8166]operation; rather it may be assumed that they accept the sur-
[8168]veillance as a fact of life.

[8246]CURRENT OBJECTIVES
[8250]0 PROJECT piupry
[8252]REQUEST FOR RENEWAL,
[8253]e : . \ *
[8255]i
[8257]A. The overall objective of Project LIEMPTY, now in its tenth
[8258]year of existence, is to collect operational intormation on the
[8259]FJSTEAL installation, its personnel and visitors, as well as
[8260]related targets of opportunity through stationary/mobile photo-
[8261]graphic and physical surveillance mechanisms, Corollary
[8262]objectives which are to be fulfilled through use of the LIEMPTY
[8263]installations, mechanisns and. personnel are as follow:
[8265].
[8267]1. To provide detailed oferational information pertaining
[8268]to the daily movements and activities of the FJSTEAL
[8269]personnel, particularly those individuals of intelligence
[8270]interest, as well as information on the FUSTEAL physical
[8272]plant and visitors to the premises.
[8274]2. To collect operational information on persons associated
[8275]with FJSTFAL personnel and on individuals known or suspected
[8276]to have connections with the FJSTEAL intelligence services
[8277]or other hostile groups which are inimical to the interests
[8279]of LNFORT.
[8281]3. To provide operational support, counter surveillance
[8282]and/or other protective services to WOFIRM personnel and
[8283]operations, as may be levied upon the Station or as may be
[8285]deemed necessary,
[8287]B, The above objectives are to be fulfilled through continued
[8288]maintenance and exploitation of the LIMITED, LILYRIC and LICALLA
[8289]basehouses, the LIENTRAP mobile unit, and the services of long-
[8290]time contract agent, Raymond H, GERENDE. These objectives are
[8291]in consonance with operational directives and Headquarters
[8292]requirements as received by Station Mexico City. ;
[8294]C. Throughout the Project year under review, Project LIEMPTY
[8295]continued to contribute directly and significantly to the fulfil-
[8296]lment of Station and Headquarters' requests and requirements for
[8297]coverage of various targets falling within the above cited frame-
[8298]work. During the project year Project LIEMPTY provided nearly
[8299]all of the operational photographs and physical surveillance
[8300]reports used in Mexico City Station's operations targeted against
[8301]the FJSTEAL installdtion and personnel, Specific examples of the
[8302]LIEMPTY Project's progress and contributions will be found in
[8303]Section 3 below (EFFECTIVENESS).
[8306]14-0000
[8308]CHANGES .
[8310]A. Operational - Since the institution of the changes described
[8311]in the previous renewal request, it has not been found neces~-
[8312]sary or desirable to make further mayor changes, The following
[8313]minor changes in operational technique have bcen made in an
[8314]effort to obtain continued improvement in the finished product;
[8316]1, LI=EMPTY-9's proven effectiveness as an observer (see
[8317]paragraph 3 A (3) below) has enabled us to institute a
[8318]system of special-coverage on specific FJSTEAL personnel
[8319]_of interest, or special coverage of specific time periods,
[8321]of interest. The purpose is to permit the Station to gain
[8322]greater insights into.the activities and personal assoc tations
[8323]of certain tndividuals, or in overall activities during a
[8324]certain time period, No crange in LIEMPTY-9's overall
[8325]‘working hours has been made; rather, flexibility has been
[8327]introduced.
[8329]2. Flexibility has also been introduced into the handling
[8331]of LIENTRAP, which is now vorking more closely with the
[8332]LIEMBRACE team in order to take greater advantage of targets
[8333]of opportunity, To this end, LIEMBRACE~1 has been placed
[8335]in direct contact with LIENTRAP, relieving Raymond H, GERENDE
[8336]of this responsibility and permitting GERENDE to devote time
[8337]to MHRAVEL activity (see sub-paragraph (3) below).
[8339]3. In September and October 1967 GERENDE was employed by
[8340]the Mexican MHRAVEL committee. This position gave him direct
[8341]access to FJSTEAL and other delegations of interest, and
[8342]“supplemented the Station's MHRAVEL program, It is expected
[8343]that GERENDE will obtain MHRAVEL employment.again in 1968,
[8345]B, Financial - LIEYPTY-4 and -1l1 were granted salary increases
[8346]effective 1 July 1967, Memoranda of ‘Oral Commitment were for-
[8347]warded to Headquarters in HMMA-32584 and HMMA-32585, 20 July
[8348]1967, There was no change in the salaries of the remaining
[8350]LIEMPTY agents,
[8351]C. Personnel «- None,
[8353]EFFECTIVENESS
[8355]Throughout the period under review, each operational component
[8356]of Project LIEMPTY contributed actively and concretely to the
[8358]‘fulfillment of the operational tasks levied on Station Mexico
[8360]City. High~lights of the accomplishments and the achievements
[8361]of each compenent are cited below:
[8364]14-0000
[8370]-A. Fixed Basehouses
[8372]1. LIMITED
[8374]poo Throughout the past project year the LIMITED installations
[8375]provided daily photographic Coverage and physical surveil-=
[8377]; lance of the main gate of the FJSTEAL installation. In
[8379]om addition, the LIMITED base Provided for a fixed radio
[8381]: dispatching station which was used to support the LIEMBRACE
[8383]i - + gurveillance team. Due to the stringent security measures
[8384]instituted in the immediate vicinity of the FJSTEAL instal- -
[8385]‘lation by local security forces, normal stake-outs by this
[8386]unilateral team are precluded. However, with the radio
[8387]dispatching support from the LIMITED radio base, which
[8388]allows the LIEMBRACE team to work from adjacent safe areas,
[8389]secure surveillance coverage of this target can be provided.
[8390]During the 12-month period from 1 November 1966 through
[8391]31 October 1967, the LIMITED base provided 1,834 frames of
[8392]operational photographs, Mm addition, the LIMITED base
[8393]provided over 2,500 pages of physical surveillance reports,
[8395]2. LILYRIC
[8396]eae : . During the project year under review, the LILYRIC installation
[8397]. provided extensive photographic and fixed visual surveillance
[8399]. of the front of the FJSTEAL installation. The LILYRIC base
[8400]’ provided the majority of the operational photographs produced
[8401]by the LIEMPTY project, During the 12-month period cited
[8402]in the LIMITED section above, the LILYRIC base provided
[8403]12,137 operational photographs and several thousand pages
[8405]; of physical surveillance reports covering the daily move-
[8406]: ments of all FJSTEAL officers.
[8408]3. LICALLA
[8410]During the above cited 12-nonth period, the LICALLA instal-
[8411]: lation provided photograph:c and physical surveillance
[8412]: coverage of the back of the FJSTEAL installation and its
[8413]garden and patio area, Th.S coverage provided 4,917 indi-
[8414]vidual photographs as wel]. 3S numerous surveillance and
[8415]yo! observation reports, It sould be noted that the LICALLA
[8416]«4 base allows Station Mexico City to observe the FJSTEAL
[8417]: : personnel during their off-duty and recreational hours.
[8418]tos The LICALLA installation heS become the most valuable of the
[8419]. of three, not only hecause of its unique vantage point but also
[8420]because of the perceptivenesS of LIEMPTY-9,. His surveil-
[8421]lance reports have frequently given us valuable insight
[8422]Co, - ‘into personal associations among the FJSTEAL personnel and
[8423]ho have enabled us to introduce greater flexibility and
[8424]‘ effectiveness into the entire LIEMPTY operation.

[8437]B. Summary of Fixed Basehouse Effectiveness
[8439]: The fixed LIEMPTY basehouses (LIMITED, LICALLA and LILYRIC)
[8441]i provided approximately 18,883 individual frames st oper-
[8442]ational photographs during the 12-month period of the past
[8443]project year, This photographic coverage, linked with the
[8445]i . . Physical surveillance reports prepared by each basehouse,
[8446]has proven to be a most reliable and viable tool for;
[8448]1, Following the daily comings and goings of.
[8449]FJSTEAL personnel and indigenous employees,
[8451]2. ‘Confirming the identities of FJSTEAL staffers
[8452]and their visitors (sore of whom are WOLADY citizens),

[8455]3. <Ascertaining and verifying the relative rank and
[8456]position as well as indicating the specific intelligence
[8457]service connection of various FJSTEAL officers,
[8459]4. Providing detailed reporting on the movement and
[8460]habit patterns of selected targets of special interest.
[8462]5. Providing physical facilities for the support of
[8463]various operational, technical and surveillance
[8465]operations,
[8466]C. The Mobile Photographic Unit
[8468]1, .Throughout the period under review, the LIENTRAP mobile
[8469]photographic support unit was regularly exploited and used
[8471]by Station Mexico City, not only on the FJSTEAL target, but
[8472]also for PBRUMEN snd Commurist Party operations as well as
[8473]the JMTIGER program, Over 2,000 operational photograpbs were
[8474]provided. In addition, the LIENTRAP personnel and unit
[8476]was used regularly to service and obtain various postal
[8477]accomodation boxes used by Mexico City, Headquarters and
[8478]other field stations,
[8480]D. Raymond AH. GERENDE - LIEMPTY Principal Agent
[8482]During the period under review, with the exception of short
[8483]vacation periods, Raymond H, GERENDE, continued in his role
[8484]as the Project LISMPTY principal agent. GERENDE operated
[8486]as the full-time cut-out to the LIEMPTY, LILYRIC and LICALLA
[8487]basehouses and bore the first echelon agent handling respon=
[8488]sibility for the related personnel, In addition, GERENDE
[8491]14-0000
[8493]6.
[8495]it
[8499]_ Lr saree Ens
[8505]continued to bear the contact and handling responsibilities
[8506]of the LIENTRAP unit (until mid-August 1967 - see paragraph
[8507]: 2 A-(2) above) and for the operator of the LIEMPTY photo-
[8508]@raphic developing/procesSing laboratory, LIEMPTY-4.
[8509]GERENDE's overall operatioral assignment involved at least
[8510]12 clandestine meetings per week, in addition to his
[8511]meetings with the LIEMPTY Froject ease officer, It should
[8512]“also be noted that GERENDE made numerous and essential
[8513]‘contributions to the sensitive AMROD operation and assisted
[8514]the Station greatly with his detailed area knowledge in
[8515]many instances, .He its frecuently used to make independent
[8516]investigations and neighborhood checks. AS noted above,
[8517]he contributed significantly to the Station's MHRAVEL
[8518]program. Finally, he apprcached, developed and eventually
[8519]attempted to recruit an agent for use in PBRUMEN operations,
[8521]E. Overall Effectiveness
[8523]As outlined above, each incividual operational component
[8525]of the LIEMPTY Project contributed regularly and significantly
[8527]to the fulfillment of Station Mexico City's operational
[8528]program. Based on the continued excellent performance and
[8529]overall contributions of this project, the Station strongly
[8530]recommends that this project be continued during the forth-
[8531]coming project year as an essential element of the Station's
[8532]operational support apparatus,
[8534]PROBLEMS AND SECURITY
[8536]During the project year under review there were no known inci-
[8537]dents which adversely affected the security of Project LIEMPTY
[8538]or the related personnel.
[8540]LIAISON AND INTER-AGENCY COORDINATION
[8542]Not applicable to Project LIEMPTY,.
[8544]PLANS
[8546]A. As noted above, the technical and operational changes
[8547]made in the past year have been effective and have resulted
[8548]in a product which is as closely geared to operational
[8549]requirements as possible. While no major changes are
[8550]contemplated, every effort will be made to continue to
[8551]improve the product, including greater use of GERENDE as
[8552]an independent investigative asset, and as a spotter and
[8553]assessor of selected agent candidates. Such utilization
[8554]of GERENDE will be kept compartmented from other personnel
[8555]of the LIEMPTY project and will normally be handled by
[8556]GERENDE in operational alias,

[8567]changes in personnel or raterial are contemplated. Salaries
[8568]soe of LIEMPTY:personnel will be reviewed, and it is foreseen that
[8569]—_ the rising cost of living will compel us to recommend salary
[8570]increases for certain. of tle agents who have not received
[8572]raises in some time,
[8574]7. gosTg. re ,
[8576]As’ Past Project Year = : Project LIEMPTY was previously approved
[8577]for the period 1 Decenber 1966 through 30 November 1967 for the
[8578]amount of 45,000 U.S. currency, Station records indicate that
[8579]through 31 October 1967, Project LIEMPTY has expended 37,040 in
[8581]the field, It-is estimated that a total of 40,130 will be expended
[8582]-in the entire project year. Bi-weekly account ings with pertinent
[8584]receipts and/or certifications were submitted by Raymond H, GERENDE
[8585]to the Station finance orficer via the project case officer for all_
[8586]LIEMPTY Project expenditures made in the field. It is estimated
[8588]that approximately 5 hours of case officer and 10 hours of analyst
[8589]time is required each week to julfill the operational, administrative
[8590]and analytical requirements of this project. (This figure does not
[8591]include the 40 hour-week put in regularly by Raymond H. GERENDE).
[8593]B. During Project Year - It is requested that Project LIEMPTY be |
[8594]approved in the amount of 43,520 U.S. currency for the period 1 —
[8595]December 1967 through 30 November 1968 (this figure represents a ~
[8596]Slight decrease from the amount programmed for the previous project
[8597]year). While no large expenditures are anticipated for the replace-
[8598]ment of photographic equipment during the forthcoming period, an
[8599]increase in the rental of the various basehouses may be encountered
[8600]as well as the above-cited expectation ot salary increases. Of the
[8601]amount requested above, 26,205 dollars should be allowed for fiscal
[8602]year 1968 and 17,315 dollars for fiscal year 1969, A detailed break-
[8603]down of the project expenditure by category and by fiscal year follows;

[8683]8, EMERGENCY CONDITIONS
[8685]A. In the event of civil disorders or the evolution of complete
[8686]enforced neutrality on the part of the host government, it is
[8687]now believed that regular operational contact could be maintained
[8688]with the majority of the active LIEMPTY agents via Raymond H,
[8689]GERENDE or in his absence, Oliver G. SCANTLING,.
[8691]B. Ia the most unlikely event of the establishment of a regime
[8692]openly hostile to LNFORT, limited contact could probably be
[8693]maintained with the majority of the active project agents,
[8694]However, under the circumstances described above, it is highly
[8695]probable that the activities of this project would be somewhat
[8696]curtailed,

[8878]COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS (Te #0 forward to the Division)
[8880]The CI Staff concurs in the renewal of this very
[8881]valuable Project. The Staff strongly urges the Station to
[8882]continue its close monitoring of Soviet interest in the
[8883]installation buildings and attempts to obtain information on
[8884]sensitive project pérsonalities. The Station should devise
[8885]necessary contingency plans of action to eliminate any
[8886]securjty hazards if it is determined that the Soviets are
[8887]intensifying such efforts and could be gatting “too close"to
[8888]the Project installations, personalities and activities.

[8936]its personnel sh! visitors, as Vell as releted tarsets cf opportunity _
[8937]throuch statiensry/mobile photographic and physical surveillance sechantsnas,
[8938]Corollary obtectives which are to be’ fulfilled through use of the LIENPTY
[8940]installations, wechanisas and personnel are as follow:
[8942]1. To provide detailed operational information pertsining to the
[8943]Gaily agoverents and activities of the LIERICK personnel, particularly
[8944]those iniividuals of intelligence interest, as well as inforaation
[8946]on the LDGRICK physical plant end visitors to the yreuises,
[8948]2. To sallect operational inforwation on persons associated with
[8949]LIMERISE personnel and on indivi.uals known or suspected to have
[8950]connections with the LIMANICK intellisence services or other hostile
[8951]sroups which are inimical to the interests of LNTSU.
[8953]3. To provide operational suppert, counter surveillence end/or other
[8954]protective services to WOFACT personnel and operations, as aay be
[8955]levied upon the Station or as asy be deemed necessary.
[8957]B. The abore chjectives are to be fulfilled throush continued asintenance
[8958]end exploitation of the LINITSD, LILYRIC ana LICAuLA basehouses, the
[8959]LUSTRAP aotile unit, and the services of long-tiae contract agent,

[8999]MANGES,
[9001],e
[9003]A. Operational - As noted in tha previous Request for-Project Renewal,
[9004]the foraer LINITXD property ves sold to LIXCUSDE, who as per formal acree-
[9005]ment with the Station, demolished the oli structure and cons:ructed a new
[9006]edifice, ‘Whihe it “ies. anttialiy contesplated to-placé the LIMITED -
[9007](LIEMPTYs -b and -7) personnel in the new building and to retain the sane,
[9008]equal divigion of workload between LILYRIC anu LIMITED, 1+ was Later’
[9009]atcaued to acve the present LILYRIC basehouse personnel (LIEMPTYs-13, “1h,
[9010]-26 and -27) into the new base instead, along with the following ancillary
[9012]modifications:
[9014]An increase in the hours of both the photocrephic and physical surveillence
[9015]coverage provided from the new base by the LILYRIC operetors (cee0-1609
[9016]hours) during the weekdeys and to have the LIMITED base provide
[9017]photographic and physical surveillance coverase froa 1660-1630 hours
[9019]on weekdays and fro 0950-1300 hours on weexends. These changes were
[9020]dictated by the following considerations:
[9022]1. The new LIMOUSINE building offers a much better vaataze point
[9023]for both photographic and physical surveillance tinan does the
[9024]presert coaplex which houses the LILYRIC end LIMITSD bases.
[9025]Therafore, the Station felt that the personnel occupying this
[9026]new base should be those possessing the highest technical skills
[9027]and also those able to provide the zost thorough ani coaplete
[9028]coverase, Since the LIMITED base now has only one trained
[9029]operator while the LILYRIC basehouse hes thvee, the LILYRIC group
[9030]and a revision of working hours was indicate.
[9032]@. Beasuse £6 was epparent that the coverage of the LIMERICK
[9033]larctallation would be a long-range and continuing requireaent,
[9034]the Stetion desired to steff the new bese with personnel of long~
[9035]range potential, LIEMPTY-6, now alacst €0 years cl1, does not
[9036]possess this potential; however, the LILYRIC agent complex
[9037]happily coxbines experienced persontel with youthful ascents.
[9039]3. Hirally, the social and financiel status of the LILWRic
[9040]personnel is auch more compatible and consistent with tne en-
[9041]vilronzent of the nev building than is that of the LIMITAD fsetly.
[9043]The above-cite2 revised work schedule wes inittated in July 1966 ani
[9044]the actual sovesent of the LILYAlcs into the new base began in lste

[9421]A. In the event of civil disoriers or the evolution of couplete or
[9422]enforced neutrality on the pert of the host government, it 1s now believed
[9423]that regular operational contact could be maintained with the majority of
[9424]tue active LIANPTY agents via Raymond FE. GERENDS or in his absence, @liver
[9426]G,. SCANTLING.
[9428]B. In the sost unlikely event of the establishaent of a regiae “openly
[9429]hostile to LNFeitr, liaite?d contact could probably be anintained with the
[9430]aajority of the ective Project scents. However, under the clreuastances

[10315]_ $45,300; $27,675 for FY 1965 and $17,625 for FY 1966.
[10317]2, At the time of approval, ‘Assistant KUDOVE stated
[10318]he expects this project to live within the sum authorized
[10319]for the year, and that there will be no amendment for
[10321]additional funds.
[10323]“ §, As you were informed in HMMW 13282 in the dispatch
[10324]on the LIEMBRACE Project Renewal, KUTUBE is interested in
[10325]the problem of hostile monitoring of any radio communications
[10326]from LIMITED, You should remain alert to this problem, and
[10327]inform us ‘if Hendquarters can be of any assistance in helping
[10328]you maintain communications security.
[10330]4. You are reminded that the LIEMPTY Project, as approved,
[10332]only covers the salary for Oliver G, SCANTLING through 31 May

[10335]cover SCANTLING if his new duties do not fall entirely under
[10337]any other approved project.

[11367]I, CURRENT OBJECTIVES AND PRODUCTION
[11369]A, Oliver G. SCANTLING Segment (discussed In relation to project
[11370]objectives):
[11372]1, “To collect operational Information pertaining to LIMERICK
[11373]personnel and physical facilittes,"" SCANTLING has continued (See the
[11374]last two Project Reviews forwarded as attachments to HMMA-1 4093,
[11376]13 November 1959, and HMMA-15979, 18 November 1960) to provide —
[11377]worthwhile information pertaining to thls objective.
[11379]a, During the past year SCANTLING has continued to be
[11380]used to follow up leads produced by LIENVOY. For example, —
[11381]operational Information recently indicated that the LIMERICK
[11382]target was using the services of a Mexico Clty firm to repair
[11383]safes, Through discreet investigation SCANTLING wag able to:
[11384]identify the firm, its location and the name of the owner In the |
[11385]event that we later wished to make an approach to him or to
[11386]exploit this Information In another manner, t
[11388]b. SCANTLING its still the Statton’s primary source for
[11389]keeping current records on the residences of the many LIMERICK
[11390]personnel in Mexico City. This is accomplished in several ways;
[11391]the most important being SCANTLING's follow up of all LIENVOY
[11392]leads which indicate the LIMERICK people are interested in '
[11393]renting a given piece of property. (Sce previous project renewal
[11394]request for additional detalls),
[11396]2. "To collect operational information pertaining to other targets
[11397]of opportunity, foreign official installations and personnel of intelligence
[11398]interest operating in Mexico." SCANTLING is very useful for collecting
[11399]information on other Station targets: 1

[11410]SECRET ASO
[11413]a, On the basis of a request to the Station from the
[11415]ODACID Chief, SCANTLING was sent to Puebla to be an
[11417]_ eyewimess to the 4 June 1961 Catholic insptred anrl-CASTRO
[11418]demonstrations, Not only did SCANTLING obtain the desired
[11419]information, and samples of many‘of the leaflets used, but he
[11420]prepared his report for the Station in time for the COS to give
[11421]the ODACID Chief a briefing at 1000 hrs., 5 June 1961,
[11422]SCANTLING does an excellent job on this type of assignment
[11423]due principally to his ability to observe and report objectively,
[11425]b, SCANTLING was instrumental tn establishing that
[11426]Fernando LLANES Cavero and his wife were living at a local
[11427]Mexico City address, This case has been of considerable
[11428]counterespionage Interest to Headquarters,
[11430]ce. SCANTLING has continued his contributions to the
[11431]Paul Frederick KIRSCHHOFF case by perlodic interviews with
[11432]the subject's neighbors and associates,
[11434]3. "To exploit operational leads through recruitments, debriefings,
[11435]and surveillances, ’ " SCANTLING has contributed to this objective both
[11436]directly and indirectly as will be noted by the examples listed below:
[11438]a> SCANTLING devoted a lot of time to the
[11439]surveillance and attempted recruitment of Abel ARTEAGA, a
[11440]Mexican national employed at the Cuban Embassy, SCANTLING
[11441]talked with ARTEAGA several times and undoubtedly was
[11442]primarily responsible for the later success of the recruicment
[11443]made by another Starlon agent,
[11445]b, Some additional time was devoted to the Cesar
[11446]GONZALEZ Sanchez case in February 1961 when SCANTLING
[11448]determined that GONZALEZ was still in Mexico City. Sce
[11449]the last renewal for additional details on this case,
[11451]ct. In connection with the above objective SCANTLING
[11452]has performed numerous pretext and neighborhood investigations
[11453]for the Station. SCANTLING also does most of the local -
[11454]investigations requested by ODACID and other ODYOKE
[11455]components,
[11457]SECRET/KSSBX
[11459]14-0000
[11461]SECRET ce
[11464]d. SCANTLING spent six weeks during July and
[11465]August of this year giving tradecraft and surveillance
[11466]-. training to LIPAILS 5 and 7 from Monterrey, Although
[11467]this ts.not a direct contribution to the above objective, it
[11468]is considered sufficlently related to mention here, oe
[11470]4, In addition to his contributions to the above objectives,
[11471]SCANTLING Is used for miscellaneous support requirements from the
[11473]; Statton, For example, SCANTLING is now handling LIEMBROIL-2 and
[11475]will continue to do so unttl the return of LIMOTOR-14 in June 1962, Also,
[11477]- ducing the past project year, SCANTLING handled the LIRICE surveillance
[11479]. team uncll July 1961 when Simon D, CLACKETT (ps) returned to Mexico
[11481]"City. SCANTLING Is also used to spot and rent safe houses and apartments
[11483]for other Station operationa,
[11485]5. As stared in the preceeding Requests for Project Renewal,
[11486]although SCANTLING's LIEMPTY Project objectives can never be completely
[11487]fulfilled, It. is the Station's opinion that SCANTLING has made important and
[11488]valuable contributions to LIEMPTY Project objectives specifically and to
[11489]other Station activities in general. SCANTLING's production, measured
[11490]against monetury expenditures, case officer time and other intangible factors,
[11491]unquestlonably justifies his continuation as an integral part of Project
[11492]LIEMPTY.
[11494]B. Raymond H, GERENDE Segment (discussed in relation to project
[11496]objectives):
[11498]1, “To collect operational Information pertaining to LIMERICK
[11499]personnel and physical facilltles through use of photographic base houses."
[11500]Three photographic bases, LIMITED, LILYRIC and LICALLA, contribute
[11501]to this objective, To avoid repetition, the Station Is omitting the usual
[11502]description of the functlons of these three bases and how thev contribute
[11503]to the above objective. There has heen no change in the coverage as
[11504]described in the 1960 Request for Project Renewal,
[11506]2, “To collect operational information and {identify operational
[11508]leads pertaining to Station targets of opportunity." The LIENTRAP
[11509]operation, handled by GERENDE, is still the major contributor to this
[11511]SECR ET/#3=e
[11513]14-00000
[11515]Tl,
[11517]- SECRET GREEK
[11520]objective. ‘Ia addition to performing numerous photographic assignments
[11521]in support of ocher Station operations, LIENTRAP devoted nearly four
[11522]months, on a fulltime basis, to coverage of the LIERODE operation. For
[11523]several weeks the entire “take” from the LIERODE target was recorded
[11524]from the LIENTRAP vehicle, Later, the LIENTRAP agents operated the
[11525]LIERODE technical gear from the initial LIERODE stationary base,
[11527]3. “To provide operational support to Station operations, i.e.,
[11528]rent hotel rooms.and apartments, and conduct counter-surveillances, "
[11529]GERENDE is used frequently to rent hotel rooms and apartments for other
[11530]Statien operations and activities. GERENDE's comprehensive area
[11531]knowledge ard personal operational capabilities combine to make him an
[11532]extremely valuable Sration asset for such support activities. GERENDE
[11533]also procures and services post office box letter drops for the many
[11534]Station operations requiring them,
[11536]4. The quality and quantity of operational information produced
[11537]by the photographic bases and other activities under GERENDE's control
[11538]and supervision is considered worthwhile, The Station concludes, therefore,
[11539]that this segment of the LIEMPTY Project should be continued,
[11541]C. Relationship to Related Mission Directive Objectives:
[11543]As scated in the previous project renewal, it can readily be noted
[11544]that Project LIEMPTY has provided support to many Station eperations and
[11545]in this manner has been a contributing factor to the furthereance of the
[11546]Related Mission Directive, The project has not produced any positive
[11547]intelligence nor has it been intended that it should do so, The project's sole
[11548]purpose is 9 provide a mechanism for the development of operational
[11549]Information in support of other Seation operations,
[11551]CHANGES
[11552]There have been no changes in the LIEMPTY Project during the past project
[11554]year except that SCANTLING relinquished control of the LIRICE (formerly LIJERSEY)
[11555]surveillance team in July 1961 in accordance with previous plans,
[11559]14-0000
[11561]cd
[11563]SECRET /3
[11566]tl, © EFFECTIVENESS ____..
[11568]: There has been no change in Project LIEMPTY which would alter the
[11569]validity of the remarks made In Section II of last year's project renewal request.
[11571]WV, PROBLEMS
[11573]The security problem in connection with the LICALLA operation, which
[11574]was described in last year's renewal request, Is still present but has nor caused
[11575]any known difficulty. At Headquarters suggestion in HMMW-9736, the LICALLA
[11576]base was reactivated on 29. May.1961. ‘The base operator has been cautioned to be
[11577]ever alert for any unusual.incidents which might indicate that the base has been
[11578]compromised, This is the only problem experienced by the LIEMPTY Project
[11580]during the past project year.
[11582]Vv. PLANS
[11584]: The Station considers that the project is now operating at Its optimum size
[11585]and does not plan to expand it during the coming year. Rather, efforts will be
[11586]devoted to refining and better utilizing the existing project organizational
[11588]arrangements,
[11589]Vi COSTS
[11591]A. Past Project Year - Station finance records indicate that Project LIEMPTY
[11592]expended -$21, 458.00 during Fiscal Year 1961 (1 December 1960 - 30 June 1961) and
[11593]has thus far during Fiscal Year 1962 (through 30 September 1961) expended about
[11594]$11,000.00. It is anticipared thar about $8, 000.00 will be expended during the last
[11595]two months (October and November 1961) of the project.year, This will make a
[11596]total expenditure during the project year of about $40, 500.00, or some $12, 500.00
[11597]under the budget estimate of $53, 000. 00.
[11599]B. Ensuing Period - Of the toral $49, 500.00 budget, itemized below,
[11600]$29, 500.00 should be expended during the remainder of Fiscal Year 1962 and the
[11602]_ balance, $20,000.00 should be expended during Fiscal Year 1963. Normal accounting
[11603]procedures will be used for all expenditures,

[12053](For the Purpose of Project Renewal}
[12055]NT OBJECTIVES AND PRODUCTION
[12057]Ae’
[12059]Oliver G. SCAKTLING Segment (discussed in relation
[12060]to project objectives):
[12062]1, "To collect operational information per=
[12063]taining to LIMERICK personnel and physical - |
[12064]facilities." SCANTLING has continued (See the
[12065]last Project Review forwarded as an attachment -
[12066]to H®A=-14093, 13 November 1959) to provide
[12067]worthwhile and significant information per=
[12068]taining to the above objective. There follow
[12070]a few exanples cf SCANTLING's production:
[12072]& <A detailed casing of the LIMERICK
[12073]electrical power supply was forwarded
[12075]to Headquarters as an attachment to
[12076]HRWA-14496, 12 February 1960. The pro=
[12077]duction of this type of operational
[12078]information, which takes several weeks
[12079]to compile accurately, illustrates the
[12080]unusual talents possessed by SCAKTLING
[12081]together with his valuable contributions
[12082]to the Station's operational information
[12083]collection effort,
[12085]b. SCANTLING hag been used frequently
[12086]to follow up leads produced by LIFEAT/
[12087]LIMSRICK (now produced by LIENVOY). For
[12088]example, in May 1960, LIFEAT indicated
[12090]that the LIMERICK target was having con—
[12091]siderable contact with an AGSACIA ROBLES
[12092]concerning the handling of incoming and
[12093]outgoing shipments. By discreet investi~
[12094]gation, SCANTLING was able to provide the
[12095]Station with additional pertinent information
[12096]about the address, owner and type of business
[12097]engaged in by the firm, Such information
[12099]then becomes readily available for exploitation
[12100]should a LIMERICK shipment of oarticular
[12101]interest come to the attention of the Station.
[12103]c. SCANTLING is the Station's primary
[12104]investigative asset for keeping track of -
[12105]current residence addressees of LIMERICK
[12106]persornel, The Station considers it important
[12107]from the counterespionage standpoint to main-
[12108]tain ingormaticn on the lecatien cf all
[12110]es cary Fr
[12113]14-0000
[12115]~ O-—™ memo _ : ~
[12119]olen
[12121]LIMERICK residences, In addition, specific
[12122]targeto are continually considered for LICOOL
[12123]installations. A recent example of SCALTLING's
[12124]efforts inthis connection wuld be the spot
[12125]ting and acquisition of the LIMOTOR base in
[12127]the same apartment building with LITALOK -l.
[12128]Contributions of this type operational informa=
[12129]‘tion are quite time consucing due to the
[12130]necessity for checking cut several apartments
[12131]that a LIMERICK individual may initially be
[12132]considering as a residence.
[12134]2e "fo collect cperational information pertaining to.
[12135]other targets of opportunity, foreign official installa»
[12136]tions and personnel of intelligence interest operating
[12137]in Mexico." Aa indicated below, SCANTLING is also
[12138]extremely useful for collecting information on targets
[12139]other than L{MERICK: :
[12141]@. In March 1960 SCANTLING was instrumental
[12142]in locating property adjacent to the LITABBY
[12143]installation which the Station has since
[12145]rented in anticipation of initiating photo~
[12146]grephic and technical operations, SCANTLING ~-
[12147]was able to accomplish this assignment only
[12148]after a thorough casing and pretext investi-
[12149]gations of the several pieces of property
[12150]appropriate for such operations,
[12152]b. SCAINTLING is also used to follow up
[12153]sensitive leads in connection with LIFEAT
[12154]and LIEN VOY production from LITABBY and
[12155]sister targets (See example as to type
[12156]under I,A,1, b and c above).
[12158]Ce SCANTLING was used ac an investigative
[12159]asset to determine the local address and
[12160]exact employment of Gorden William GROVES
[12161](201~220025), a counterespionage case of
[12162]interest to Headquarters and ODENVY.
[12164]3. “fo exploit operational leads through recruitments
[12165]debriefings, end surveillances.” As examples of
[12166]SCANTLEIG's contritution to this objective, the
[12167]following cases are listed:
[12169]a. SCANTLING devoted a considerable amount
[12170]of time to his attempts to locate Cesar
[12171]GONZALEZ Sanchez, a known agent of a Com
[12172]munist Country. He followec various leads
[12173]on GONZALEZ fron Harch to Auguay 196C before
[12175]OG sea / srpet aad
[12177]14-0000
[12179]GONGALEZ was finally identified and his
[12181]Mexico City home aid business addresses were
[12182]ascertained, See KMMA-15626, 2 September 1960,
[12183]for further detalls-on this case.
[12185]Lon. >.. The preliminary investigative work on a
[12186]. KUSCDA case of priority interest was conducted
[12187]~ by SCANTLING. During this investigation it
[12188]. was necessary for SCANTLING to travel to
[12189]- Aquascalientes, Guanajuato md Ninatitlan to
[12190]eek, obtain the information required by Headquarters.
[12191]. Sce the attachments to Wint-1416, 20 May 1960,
[12192]for the results of the investigation.
[12194]4e In addition to his contributions to the above objec=
[12195]tives, SCANTLING is used for miscellsneous suprort
[12196]requirements of the Station. For example, SCAKTLING
[12197]hardled several of Raymond Hs GERENDE's (ps) operations
[12198]while the latter was away from hexico City during Auguat
[12199]énd Septenber 1960. Also, SCANTLING has been managing
[12200]the LIJERSEY surveillance team since the departure of
[12201]Simon D. CLACKETT in August 1960. It is hoped that
[12202]SCANTLIXNG can be relieved of this assignment as soon
[12204]as the LITEMPO project is approved. SCANTLING has also
[12205]been used to spot and rent safe houses for various
[12206]Station operations, a valuable operntional support.
[12208]service.
[12210]5 As stated in the preceeding Request for Project
[12211]Renewal, al though SCANTLIAG's LIEXPTY Project objectives
[12212]can never be completely fulfilled, it is the Station's
[12213]opinion that SCANTLING has made inportant and valuable
[12214]contributions to LIEMPTY Preject objectives specifically
[12215]and to other Station activities in generd. SCANTLING's
[12216]: _ predustion, measured against monetary expenditures,
[12218]° case officer time and other intangible factors, wiques~
[12220]ticnably justifies his continuation as m integral part
[12222]of Project LIEMPTY.
[12224]B. Raymond H. GERENDE Segment (discussed in relation to project
[12225]odjectives):
[12227]1. "To collect operational information pertaining ‘to
[12228]LIMERICK personnel and physical facilities through ‘use
[12229]of photographie base houses." Together with their
[12230]extensive photographic coverace of the LIMERICK target,
[12231]the photographic bases also contribute other types. of
[12232]operational information: '
[12234]a LINITED - This base compiles daily logs 1
[12235]indicating all arrivals, demrtures and,
[12236]where possible, identities of every person .
[12237]visiting or working at the LI ck target.
[12244]“SECRET ARSSORP
[12246]* This information Is particularly useful in keeping track ae
[12247]LIMERICK personnel and asstating with the identification of
[12248]visitors to the installation, Also, LIMITED maintains a
[12249]summary attendance llst of LIMERICK employees on a dally
[12250]basis; this enables the Station quickly to ascertain the
[12251]presence or absence of an employee on any given day,
[12253]. Finally, one other significant service ts performed hy this
[12254]base, the radio dispatching of the LIEMBRACE surveillance
[12255]team on LIMERICK personnel and targets of opportunity,
[12256]LIMITED's photographic coverage is still concentrated on
[12257]visttors, as opposed to employees, to the LIMERICK
[12258]installation, A recent example of the base's contributions to
[12259]Station efforts is the case of Joseph Ralph MAURI. In this
[12260]case, a LIENVOY lead indicated that an American might visit
[12262]- the LIMERICK target on a certain day, The base was alerted
[12264]to dispatch the radio-controlled surveillance team on any
[12265]person appearing to be an American, The results of this
[12266]assignment were indicated in MEXI-6392 and several other
[12267]cables, LIMITED was also able to provide photographs,
[12268]which when compared with photographs provided by Head-
[12269]quarters, left no question as to MAURI's identity,
[12271]b, LILYRIC - This base's ourput of high-quality clandestine
[12273]photographs has been in about the same quantity as last year,
[12274]In addition, the base operator, LLEMPTY-l4, prepares weekly
[12275]reports on LIMERICK empioyees and their wives, VILYRIC
[12276]ainy performs the assignment of noting and reporting the
[12277]license plate numbers of all cars bringing visitors to the’
[12278]LIMERICK installation, LILYRIC photograplis also are con-
[12279]centrated on visitors to the target, as opposed to employees,
[12280]It should be noted that LILYRIC operates for photographic
[12281]coverage during the hours from daylight to 1400 hours each
[12283].. day of the week except Sunday, The LIMITED base maintains
[12285]photographic coverage from 1400 hours to darkness each day
[12286]except Sunday,
[12288]c. LICALLA - As reported in previous correspondence, the
[12289]LICALLA base contributes to the collection of operational
[12290]information through photographic coverage of LIMERICK
[12291]employees and their families, Also, the base operator,
[12293]SECRET gore
[12295]14-0000
[12297]LIEMPTY-9, supplies extremely worthwhile information
[12298]pertaining to the apparent positions and jobs of the target
[12299]employees, -He accomplishes this objective by ¢areful
[12300]observation and analysis, LICALLA also maintains a datly
[12301]attendance roster of all LIMERICK employees, LICALLA
[12302]coverage of the target, both photographic and physical
[12303]observations, enables the Station to keep abrest of LIMERICK
[12304]personnel changes, a vital contribution to the Station's counter-
[12305]esplonage effort,
[12307]2, “To collect operational information and tdentlfy operational leads
[12308]pertaining to Station targets of opportunity,” The LIENTRAP operation,
[12309]handled by GERENDE, ts the major ‘contributor to this objective, It
[12310]has been possible for LIENTRAP to take photographs and to perform
[12311]pretext Investigetions in support of numerous Station activities. ‘The
[12312]cases listed below are cited as examples:
[12314]a. In the case of Cesar GONZALEZ Sanchez (see I, A,3,a, above)
[12315]LIENTRAP was able to procure photographs of GONZALEZ at his
[12316]Mexico City residence which, when compared to Headquarters
[12317]provided. photographs, lett no doubt that GONZALEZ was the
[12318]subject of interest to Headquarters,
[12320]b, LIENTRAP confirmed the Identity of Olga CASTILLO de Ledon,
[12321]a frequent visitor to the LIMERICK installation and an ardent
[12322]supporter of the present Cuban regime, through a pretext
[12323]investigation of the residents of an apart ment building where
[12324]CASTILLO was believed to live. Later, LIENTRAP supported rhe
[12325]results of the investigation with excellent photographs of the
[12326]subject, 7’ -
[12328]3. "To provide operational support to Station operations, i,e., rent
[12329]hotel rooras and apartments, and conduct counter-surveillances, "
[12330]GERENDE is used frequently to rent hotel rooms and apartments for
[12331]other Station operations and activities, GERENDE's comprehensive
[12332]area knowledge and personal operational capabilitles combine to make
[12333]him aa extremely valuable Station asset for such support acrivities,
[12334]GERENDE also procures post office box letter drops for the many
[12335]Station operations requiring them,
[12337]SECRET Aree
[12340]14.90000
[12342]4, It is the Station's conclusion that the money and case officer tlme
[12343]expended on this segment of the LIEMPTY project is worthwhile and
[12344]should be continued tn view of the quality and quantity of operational
[12345]information produced,
[12347]Simon D, CLACKETT Segment (discussed in relation’ to project
[12349]objectives) :
[12351]1, “To collect operational tnformation and to identify operational leads
[12352]pertaining to the LIMERICK target and Station targets. of opportunity,"
[12353]During this project year the LJYERSEY survellance team under the
[12354]direction of CLACKETT began contributing to the Station's support
[12355]efforts through pretext investigatlons and physical survellances, Some
[12356]examples of the team's work are listed below:
[12358]a, Rafael TISCHLER Guzman (201-64372) is a Guatemalan
[12359]Communist which the team had under surveillance from
[12360]November 1959 to April 1960, The surveillance, together
[12362]with Information acquired from other sources, eventually
[12363]resulted in an‘ unsuccessful recruitment attempt on TISCHLER,
[12365]b, Pericles FRANCO Ornes (201-64546) - FRANCO Is a
[12367]Dominican of interest to the Station, The LIJERSEY ream
[12369]devoted portions of five mouths, January to May 1960, collecting 1
[12370]information on subject through physical surveillance, ;
[12372]c.. Jose Maria "Chema" LOPEZ Valdizon (201- ) was the
[12373]subject of a physical surveillance during May and June 1960,
[12374]LOPEZ was iater deported from Mexivy ikioiigh the efforts
[12375]of LITEMPO-2,
[12377]d, CLACKETT and the LIIERSEY team performed numerous
[12378]pretext Investigations on Station targets cf opportunity and on
[12379]three separate occasions during the project year served as
[12381]a counter-surveillance escort for Station officers in other
[12382]operations.
[12384]2. CLACKETT, just prior to his resignation in August 1960, spent ;
[12386]about five weeks giving tradecraft and operational skills training to to
[12387]LITEA-1, Although not specifically covered by the project objectives, .
[12388]this ability on CLACKETT's part is considered a significant con- 4

[12410]It can readily be noted that Project LIEMPTY has provided support to
[12411]many Station operations and tn this manner has been a contributing factor
[12412]to the furtherance of the Related Misston Directive, The project has not
[12413]produced any positive intelligence nor has it been intended that it should
[12414]do so, The project's sole purpose {s to provide a mechanism for the

[12418]CHANGES
[12420]A, Simon D, CLACKETT
[12422]The unexpected resignation of CLACKETT in August 1960 has
[12423]necessitated the decision as how best to utilize the LIIERSEY surveillance
[12424]team and still benefice from the training and experience gained by the team
[12425]during the past year. As explained in the LITEMPO project outline, it was
[12426]decided that the LITEMPO Staff Agent would have the time, the need and the
[12427]requirements to handle and manage the LIJERSEY tcam on a regular basis;
[12428]consequently, the Station believed that such a solution to this problem would

[12476]as good as ‘the support mechanisms backstopping and contributing to them,
[12477]! The availability of unilateral-support agents and organizations, such as

[12525]PROBLEMS
[12527]A, Security - The activities of the LICALLA base were suspended in .
[12528]September 1960.as a direct result of the arrest of three KURIOT
[12529]technicians by the Cuban Government, One of the technicians was known
[12530]to have knowledge of the four LIMUST units (LICALLA Is located tn one
[12531]of these units) and the Station considered it appropriate to. suspend photo-
[12532]graphic operations:pending resolution of the situation. At this time,
[12534]. there {s no indication when“LICALLA operations wil! be resumed, . The

[12573]little use. in producing good identified shots of individuals, In view
[12574]of these experiments, night photography has not yet been attempted,
[12575]It should be noted that Eastman: Kodak's new TRI-X PAN film, which
[12576]all bases and LIENTRAP now use, is superior to any film previously
[12577]used by the Station for clandestine photography. The quality of all
[12578]base photographs have been increased considerably as a direct résult
[12579]of this new film.
[12581]C, General Comments - The Station belleves that the GERENDE
[12582]segment is now Operating under optimum organizational arrangments
[12583]and there are no plans for expansion contemplated at this time. It is
[12584]expected that SCANTLING will soon be relieved of his interim
[12585]responsibility for the LYERSEY team and can concentrate more on his
[12586]Investigative and casing activities. The transfer of the LJERSEY team
[12588]- to Project LITEMPO reduced Project LIEMPTY activities by an
[12590]appreciable amount. It ts not planned, during the coming year, to
[12591]expand present LIEMPTY activities,
[12593]COSTS
[12595]A, Past Project Year ~ Station finance records indicate that Project
[12596]LIEMPTY expended $19, 120. 91 during Fiscal Year 1960 (L December
[12597]1959 - 30 June 1960) and has thus far during Fiscal Year 1961 (through
[12598]31 October 1960) expended $16, 734.69. Contract Agents salaries and
[12599]allowances paid by Headquarters bring the total expenditures for It
[12600]months of the project vear 10 approximately $5V, 000.00. An additional
[12601]$4, 000.00 will be oblivated during the 12th month of the project year,
[12602]This will bring total project expenditures to about $54, 000. 00 for the
[12603]entire project year,
[12605]B, Ensuing Period - Of the toral $53,000.00 budget, itemized below,
[12606]$31, 900,00 should be expended during the remainder of Fiscal Year
[12607]1961 and the balance, $21,100.00, should be expended during Fiscal

[12892]3. The security incident referred to in paragraph IV,B on
[12894]page 6 of the attachmont, occurred on 20 September 1959, While on
[12896]an operational assignment LIEMPTY/10 and the LIENTRAP vehiole were
[12897]temporarily detained by the Servicio Secreto de Mexico (Mexican Secret
[12898]Service), At the time of the incident the LIENTRAP vehicle waa
[12899]carrying out an ‘assignment of photographing a Cuban rally which it
[12900]was expected would ba attended by many of the leading Mexican and
[12901]Central American Communists, The police were also covering the
[12902]meeting for thé-purpose of preventing a Communist—inspired demonatra-
[12903]tion and they searched LIENTHAP believing it might contain Communist
[12904]‘propaganda, When they saw the fim they seized the filn,the truck and
[12905]LIEMPTY-10 with the belief the Communists hed filmed sane rough-hended
[12906]techniques used by the police against some persons attending the rally,
[12908]before his release was obtained. When a member of the Station using
[12909]State Department cover intervened with the police on behalf of LIEMITY-10,
[12910]the film, LIENTRAP, and all the equipment were also returned in tact,
[12911]LIEMFTY~-10 had not been. interrogated and had not been formally charged
[12913]or booked, . Although the FBI representative and the U.S. Embassy Security
[12914]Officer also learned of the incident, the Station does not believe that
[12915]this incident has materially effected the security of the Project. Tha

[12956]REVIEW OF PROJECT LIEMPTY
[12958](For the Purpose of Project Renewal)
[12960]I. PRODUCT OF THE PROJECT
[12962]A. Oliver G. SCANTLING Segment (discussed in relation to project
[12963]objectives): . .
[12965]an 1, “To collect operational information pertaining to LIMERICK
[12966]personnel and physical facilities.'' During the past year SCANTLING has devoted
[12968]a significant amount of time to the furtherance of this project objective. Although
[12969]other Station operations and personnel are also concerned with vas collection of
[12970]operational information about- LIMERICK personnel, SCANTLING's contributions
[12972]are unique as to type and complement information received from other sources, Fowr
[12973]‘example, SCANTLING is used primarily as the source of information about LIMERICK
[12974]physical facilities. He is constantly on the alert for building modifications, con-
[12975]struction activities and the kinds of outside services utilized by the LIMERICK
[12976]installation. He regularly visits Inez PARADA de Moreno, the occupant of property
[12977]adjacent to LIMERICK, for the purpose of obtaining a close view of the interior
[12978]grounds of LIMERICK and to debrief Scnora de Moreno about any unusual activities
[12979]which she may have-observed. At the present time SCANTLING is preparing a
[12980]thorough casing report on the electrical power supply used by LIMERICK and all
[12981]other residences and establishments in the same block. This operational information
[12982]is intended for KURIOT's use and will show all transformers in the block, electrical
[12983]meters for measuring the amount of electrical power used and the precise points
[12984]where wires enter each property. Because of his other sensitive activities and
[12985]because other operational activities provide adequate coverage, SCANTLING
[12987]has been used sparingly for physical surveillances and investigations which might
[12988]conceivably impair his future usefulness to the Station. During the time he spent
[12989]training Simon D. CLACKETT (ps) in radio controlled mobile surveillance,
[12990]SCANTLING did perform some surveillance work at the LIMERICK installation;
[12991]however, it was concerned mostly with briefing CLACKETT on dispatching tech~
[12992]niques and the procedures used for the control of several vehicles on a surveillance
[12994]team using two-way radios.
[12996]2. "To collect operational information pertaining to other targets of
[12997]opportunity, foreign official installations and personnel of intelligence interest
[12998]operating in Mexico."' By far the most important contribution made by SCANTLING
[12999]in connection with this project objective has been his support to the LITACIT
[13000]operation and just recently actually gained entry to the LITACIT target using a
[13001]pretext cover story. During this visit SCANTLING managed to collect highly
[13002]valuable operational information about the security of the installation, which has
[13003].added materially to KUBARK.'s knowledge about the-terget. SCANTLING has also
[13004]cased and prepared reports on the LITABBY target in anticipation of mounting
[13008]SECRE Teer’
[13010]. -22-
[13012]a photographic surveillance and in initial preparation for a future LINIMENT type
[13013]activity. SCANTLING has performed investigations of numerous other Station
[13014]targets of opportunity which, depending on their significance, have been reported
[13016]-in separate correspondence.
[13018]3. "To exploit operational leads through recruitments, debriefings
[13019]and eurveillances," This objective was included in the LIEMPTY project because
[13020]SCANTLING is used to follow up LIFEAT leads and leads obtained from the LIEMPTY
[13021]‘photographic bases. During the past year SCANTLING has investigated a quantity of
[13022]leads obtained from the above sources, The information resulting from these in-
[13023]vestigations has enabled the Station to maintain current data on the various firms
[13024]used by the LIMERICK target and in one instance, Octavio VIDALES (201- )
[13025]caused the Station to make a recruitment pitch in an effort to carry out a technical
[13026]penetration of the LIMERICK target. Although VIDALES was not recruited, the
[13027]Station anticipates that SCANTLING will some day be successful in just this type of
[13028]activity. SCANTLING is the Station's principal source for the follow-up of LIFEAT/
[13029]LIMERICK and LIEMPTY photographic base house leads as they pertain to the
[13031]primary target. —
[13033]4. Not covered by a specific project objective but, névertheless, of
[13034]significant importance to the Station are SCANTLING's contributions to the overall
[13035]Station support efforts. In addition to the extensive training given to CLACKETT,
[13036]SCANTLING also prepared a detailed and sophisticated radio dispatch procedure for
[13037]use by the LIEMBRACE surveillance team. He devised a superior method for
[13038]numbering streets which enables the radio surveillance team to specify a location
[13039]without reference to street names and areas. The entire radio dispatch code, when
[13040]used properly, practically defies identification as the conversations of a clandestine
[13041]surveillance team. From the standpoint of Station security, SCANTLING conducted
[13042]an investigation of LIVESTOCK-2 based on two leads which were 30 years old and
[13043]reported significant information which contributed to the Station's final decision
[13044]to terminate LIVESTOCK-2. SCANTLING's other support activities consist of renting
[13045]hote! rooms and apartments in fictitious names, supportim operations such as
[13046]LICOOL-12 by performing sentry duty and by serving as a capable and responsible
[13047]cutout between the Station and agents from other geographical areas,
[13049]5. Although SCANTLING's LIEMPTY objectives can never be completely
[13050]fulfilled, it is the Station's opinion that SCANTLING' has made important and valuable
[13051]contributions to LIEMPTY Project objectives specifically and to other Station
[13052]activities in general, SCANTLING's production, méasured against monetary .
[13053]expenditures, case officer time and other intangible factors, unquestionably justifies
[13055]his contgnuation as an integral part of Project LIEMPTY,.

[13068]Fito
[13069]a ..1, "To collect operational information pertaining to LIMERICK
[13070]personnel and physical facilities through the use of photographic base houses,"
[13072]_ This continuing objective is carried out by three photographic base houses, -
[13074]- LIMITED, LILYRIC and LICALLA. During the project year, LIMITED produced
[13076]- approximately 3600 photographs and LILYRIC about 4500 pictures of individuals
[13078]- entering and leaving the LIMERICK target. Most of these photographs were of
[13079]non-LIMERICK individuals of which only a small, but significant, percentage
[13080]could be identified through license plate checks or other types of routine investi-
[13082]- gation, The LICALLA base produced approximately 4300 photographs during the year,
[13083]Most of the LICALLA photographs were of LIMERICK employees and their families
[13084]and have been of considerable value in-maintaining current and accurate listings
[13085]of LIMERICK personnel in Mcxico, Tho LICALLA base has recently begun taking
[13086]‘motion pictures of LIMERICK personnel conversing in the garden area. These
[13087]movies are being forwarded to KUTUBE/D for the possible exploitation of lip
[13089]- reading analysis. The LIMITED base, in addition to its photographic assignment,
[13090]is also used as thé radio central for dispatching the LIEMBRACE surveillance
[13091]team on LIMERICK personnel targeta. All bases make routine reports on the daily
[13092]attendance of LIMERICK employees at the installation which facilitates the Station's
[13093]reporting on the arrival and departure of LIMERICK personnel, Also, the bases
[13094]devote time to reporting the personal associations among the numerous LIMERICK
[13095]employees, Some of this latter type information is valuable from the standpoint of
[13096]confirming that LIMERICK intelligence officers have a tendency to associate with
[13098]their colleagues,
[13100]2. "To collect operational information and identify operational
[13101]leads pertaining to Station targets of opportunity." This is a broad objective
[13102]and one which is contributed to by the LIENTRAP operation, LIENTRAP is used
[13103]to provide photographic coverage of important Station targets which do not justify
[13104]a more permanent photographic base, During the period under review, LIENTRAP
[13105]has been used for the timely coverage of various Central American exile group
[13106]activities, the Confederacion de Trabajadores de la America Latina (CTAL)
[13107]_-headquarters, several counterespionage targets, the LITACIT and LITABBY
[13108]targets and other one-time operations of intelligence interest. The operational
[13109]information produced by LIENTRAP is used by the Station for increasing
[13110]operational knowledge about a target and, when appropriate, has been incorporated
[13111]in separate reports to Headquarters with other information about specific targets,
[13113]3. "To provide operational support to Station operations, i.e., rent
[13114]hotel rooms and apartments, and conduct counter-surveillances,'"' GERENDE,
[13115]because of his area knowledge and operational acumen, is used frequently by the
[13116]Station for renting hotel rooms and apartments in fictitious names for use on other
[13117]Station operations, He is also the Station's principal procurer of local Post Office
[13118]boxes for use as letter drops. This objective pertains entirely to the operational
[13119]support of other Station operations and is an invaluable ingredient to the security
[13120]of important Station activities.
[13122]SECRE TAR
[13124]14-00000
[13126]4. The production of operational information as represented by
[13127]LIMITED, LILYRIC, LICALLA and LIENTRAP is an important adjunct to the
[13128]Station's coverage of the LIMERICK tarcet and Station targets of opportunity.
[13129]It is the Station's conclusion that the expenditure of KUBARK assets, i.e., money
[13130]and case officer time, is justified and that these activities should be continued.
[13132]CG. Simon D, CLACKETT Segment (discussed in relation to project objectives):
[13134]1, “To collect operational information and to identify operational
[13135]leads pertaining to the LIMERICK target and Station targets of opportunity."" Very
[13136]little production has been realized from this objective in terms of CLACKETT's
[13137]contributions, CLACKETT returned to Mexico in early April 1959 after receiving
[13138]surveillance, tradecraft and photography training in Headquarters. He then spent the
[13139]rest of April, May and part of June being trained by SCANTLING in mobile sur~
[13140]veillance techniques. Then LIEMPTYs 15, 16, 17 and 20 were placed under his
[13141]supervision and he began training these agents in the arts of foot surveillance and
[13142]mobile surveillance, This team, known’as the LIJERSEY team, is just beginning to
[13143]show the excellent effects of CLACKETT's intensive training sessions. Although
[13144]LIEMPTY-17 has resigned and the team consists of only four agents, including
[13145]CGLACKETT, the Station believes that the team will be ready within the next month
[13146]to begin its contributions to the above objective,
[13148]2. Based on the training time devoted to CLACKETT and to the LISERSEY
[13149]team and the anticipated production during the coming project year, it is the Station's
[13150]opinion that this activity should be continued,
[13152]iW EXTENT TO WHICH THE RELATED MISSION DIRECTIVE HAS BEEN
[13153]FURTHERED.
[13155]Project LIEMPTY has provided support, in varying ways, to a majority of
[13157]’ Station operations and in this manner has been a contributing factor to the furtherance
[13159]of the Related Mission Directive, The project is not intended nor designed to
[13160]produce positive intelligence; its sole purpose is to provide a mechanism for the
[13161]development of operational information in support of other Station operations.
[13163]ia. PROGRESS OF THE OPERATION AND PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE.
[13165]aA. Oliver G. SCANTLING Segment:
[13167]1, SCANTLING's duties and responsibilities are basically the same
[13168]now as they were when the original LIEMPTY project outline was submitted. Since
[13169]SCANTLING is the only major factor in this part of LIEMPTY, progress, other than
[13170]covered in the above section on production, can be measured only by the fact that
[13171]SCANTLING is a year older and has acquired a few more helpful tricka of the trade
[13173]SECRET,
[13176]14-0000
[13178]f
[13180]ry
[13186]and, consequently, has increased his own operational abilities.
[13188]2. Insofar as future planning is concerned, SCANTLING will
[13189]continue to devote the’ greater portion of his time to the LITACIT operation. In
[13190]addition, he will continue his work against the LIMERICK target, i.e., investi-
[13191]gating LIFEAT and photographic base house leads in connection with the objectives
[13192]of the LIEMPTY and LIMESA projects. The Station still plans to maintain
[13193]SCANTLING ag an independent Station assct free from the responsibilities of super-
[13194]vising other agente and operations,
[13196]3. SCANTLING will probably continue providing administrative
[13197]support to LIEMPTY-3 (now covered under the LICOOL project), but will not be
[13198]responsible for the operational direction of L-3 .
[13200]B. Raymond H. GERENDE Segment:
[13202]1, During the past year the three photographic base houses have
[13204]_ been trained in the use of a faster type film (HY-PAN) to facilitate the taking of
[13206]photographs on dark cloudy days. One base, LICALLA, has made tests and recently
[13207]begun making 35mm color slides using the new fast type Ektachrome film. This
[13208]film is now processed in the Mexico Station dark room which heretofore was not
[13209]possible. It ia the Station's opinion that a few color photographs of target personnel
[13210]will be useful for identification purposes. The LICALLA Base has also, during the
[13211]past year, begun taking 16mm motion pictures in color with the expectation that
[13212]Headquarters can eventually provide lip reading analysis of conversations taking
[13213]place in the garden area of the LIMERICK installation,
[13215]2, Other operational progress has been made in connection with
[13216]relieving GERENDE of responsibility for the LISERSEY surveillance team. This
[13217]mow leaves GERENDE with a sufficient amount of time to supervise all photographic
[13218]base houses, LIENTRAP and the outside photographic laboratory, ,
[13220]3. Future planning in relation to this segment does not call for
[13221]expansion, Rather,. the Station plans to perfect some of the photographic procedures
[13222]now in use and to experiment with night photography possibilities using the fast
[13223]HY-PAN film with telephoto lens of varying lengths. GERENDE will also concentrate
[13224]on increasing the security and communications procedures used with cach base.
[13226]C. Simon D. CLACKETT Segment:
[13228]1, CLACKETT's assumption of responsibility for the LIJERSEY
[13230]» surveillance team has been a progressive step for the development of an additional -
[13231]‘ and much needed support ascet,
[13233]Although the LIJERSEY team has been in existence
[13234]for several years, 1t was only during the past year, with the assignment of
[13237]14-0000
[13239]SECRET/
[13243]-~ } CLACKETT, that an intensive effort wag made to train the team members and to
[13245], ( place them under the. supervision of a full time team leader, As mentioned above,
[13246]CLACKETT has done‘an excellent job during the past few months in getting the
[13247]team ready for future operational assignments,
[13249]2. The Station plans, during the coming year, to increase the
[13250]Strength of the LIJERSEY team by at least two agents and one car, This would
[13251]then give a total LIUERSEY complement of six agents and three radio cars. The
[13252]Station will continue to take all necessary precautions not to rush the development
[13253]of the team nor to give it assignments which are too complicated and too difficult.
[13254]It is anticipated that the team will begin some surveillance work within the next
[13255]month on targets connected with plans for an expanded Communist Party pene-
[13257]tration program.
[13259]IV. PERFORMANCE OF PRINCIPAL AGENTS IN TERMS OF PRODUCTION,
[13261]SECURITY AND COVER. . . He ft
[13263]. A. Oliver G. SCANTLING - As should be expected from a well trained
[13264]and motivated agent, SCANTLING's production during the period under review was
[13265]excellent. His production is in the category of operational information rather than
[13266]positive intelligence and is based on leads and investigations given him by the
[13267]Station, He never fails to do a thorough and detailed job on all assignments
[13269]given to him, He is an unusually valuableprincipal ag: agent. > There have been no
[13270]security problems or developments during the past year in connection with
[13271]SCANTLING's assignments. Likewise, his cover is very good and places him
[13273]in a position to maintain his work for KUBARK for many years to come.
[13275]B, Raymond H. GERENDE - Since GERENDE's marriage in December
[13276]1958, his performance has improved to a marked degree, He has become one
[13277]of the Station's most dependable agents in terms of promptness for meetings,
[13278]completing operational assignments as rapidly as possible and in doing any task,
[13279]regardless of how menial it may be. Insofar as the Station and GERENDE know,
[13280]his cover with LISTERINE's firm has held up very well. In fact, GERENDE
[13281]recently was able to negotiate a sales contract with a customer having a very 7
[13282]large sales capacity for the product manufactured by LISTERINE's firm. This,
[13283]of course, endears GERENDE to LISTERINE in addition to contributing to
[13284]GERENDE's cover employment. The only significant security incident pertaining,
[13285]in part, to GERENDE was in connection with LIENTRAP (please see HMMA-13951,
[13287]16 October 1959, for details).
[13289]Cc. Simon D, CLACKETT - CLACKETT's performance has definitely
[13290]measured up to the standards expected by the Station. He has proved that he
[13291]is conscientious, dependable and very quick in grasping the details of clandestine
[13294]activities. He will undoubtedly continue to improve his personal performance as
[13296]SECRET;
[13299]14-00000
[13301]he gains more experience. ‘There have been no security problems or incidents in
[13302]connection with CLACKETT's assignment to this Station, Although the notional
[13304]‘cover provided by Headquarters has held up very well during the past few months,
[13306]- the Station had hopes of placing him in LILABEL's firm and obtaining Inmigrante
[13307]. papers for him. However, for reasons mentioned in other correspondence, this
[13308]‘cover arrangement did not work out. The Station is continuing efforts to locate
[13309]another suitable local cover job for CLACKETT,
[13311]Ve CONTACT AND COMMUNICATION. ~
[13315]: A. Oliver G. SCANTLING - The Station Case Officer meets with SCANTLING
[13316]on the average of three times each week, For regular meetings, a total of eight
[13317]prearranged contact points are used alternately with SCANTLING "walking the beat"
[13318]and being picked up by the Case Officer in the latter's car. This procedure enables
[13319]both the agent and the case officer to check themsclves and to check each other for
[13320]possible surveillance, Meetings are generally of short duration, seldom more than
[13321]30 minutes, and are held in the car. It is possible for SCANTLING to get in touch
[13322]with his case officer by telephone, and vice versa, in case an unscheduled meeting
[13323]is necessary. SCANTLING and the Station aré currently working on the details of
[13324]an emergency means of contact utilizing SCANTLING's wife's relatives in PBPRIME.
[13325]Headquarters will be advised of these arrangements to facilitate contact with
[13326]SCANTLING in the event Mexico is overrun by hostile forces and contact with the
[13328]Station is severed,
[13330]B. Raymond H. GERENDE - GERENDE's Case Officer meeta with him five
[13332]times each week, Meetings are conducted in the Case Officer's car using the same
[13333]- proceduree as outlined above. GERENDE and his Case Officer have a total of 11
[13335]contact points in different areas of the city and generally hold their mectings during
[13336]the early morning hours, usually about 0800. Ag in the case of SCANTLING,
[13337]GERENDE and his Case Officer are preparing an emergency contact procedure which
[13338]will facilitate Headquarters communications with him through his relatives in PBPRIME
[13339]Headquarters will be advised of these arrangements just as soon as they are completed.
[13341]Cc. Simon D. CLACKETT - The Station Case Officer meets with CLACKETT
[13342]on the averageof three times each week. The same type of communications pro-
[13343]cedures as used for SCANTLING and GERENDE are employed with CLACKETT.

[13874]MEMORANDUM FORs Chief, SI/oPs
[13876]FROM + Chief, WHD ;
[13877]SUBJECT -_ ¢ LI@FIY Project , a
[13879]1. Reference is made to your coxments on the LIE-FTY Project vhioh vas
[13880]approved on 16 January 1959.
[13882]2. Tho LISUETY Project provides for the development of tho forrer
[13883]LIJEASSY surveillenca tenn, tho maintenance of photo aurvalllanoe bases, and
[13884]ather suprort facilities for the Mexico City station. In their review of the
[13885]Project before it vas an-roved, FI/OPS sugmested that WH Division coneider a
[13886]gradual reduction of tha considerable financial and peraonna] cormitments in
[13887]thio profeet in viev of the fnvorably developing LIENVOY llatacn rolationship.
[13888]FI/OPS bolieved that a amaller, more manageable support group with greater
[13889]emphasis on pelectivity of tasks ani targets could well result in more effective
[13891]CI and FI productivity.
[13893]3. Tha Mexican desk wishes to point out that rather than reducing tho
[13894]agsets carried under the LIZ-PTY Project, WD dvelievas that this project is
[13895]an oxtremely important one and should receive Headcuarters support. Tho only
[13896]other Station aurveillu.ce teams, LIVESTOCK and LIE“PRACE, are both kmoun
[13897]to the Mexican suthorities. Therefore LIS ‘FTY remaing the Station's only

[13903]First, the lfaisen has n-t yet been firmly established. ‘Secondly, oven with a

[13906]Thirdly, because of its proxinity to the United States, and the activity of

[13976]1. the Field. Project Outline gubmitted with HM’A-11257 was approved
[13977]on 16 January 1959 without change, for the period 1. December 1956 through
[13978]30 Noverder 1959 for a total ‘of (95,350; $65,580 for the current fiscal
[13979]year and $29,800 for fiscal year 1960.
[13981]2. An amondment to the original request for project approval wes
[13982]guoniited before the original project was approved. This amendment
[13983]requested apsroval to include Simon D. CLACK!T? (ps) and Wilma Je FIORVALISI
[13984](es) under the LISFETY Project effective 1 January 1959 and remove then
[13985]fron the LIME Project. The funds designated in the original FPO for
[13986]the undesignated Staff Agent were used to cover tha expenses for CLACKETT
[13987]and FIORDaLISI. Therefore no additional funds were requested for the
[13988]project in this amendment. fhe approval on 16 January 1959 included tite
[13989]oreject amendment. A copy of the awendment request is being forwarded
[13991]for your information and records.
[13993]3. Among the Staffs' comments on tho LIEHPIY Project, the following
[13994]recommendations were made. KUDSSK suggested that the Case Officer should
[13995]work at devising ostensible sources of incomes for the agents which will
[13996]stand the serutiny of friendé, relatives and less friendly forces. ,
[13998]hl. An anendrent to CLACKET('s contract has been requested to allow
[13999]for a cuarters allowances. The educational allowance requested in paracrach
[14000]LA of the project amendment was disap-roved because CLACKET? was a Contract
[14001]Agent. ‘The Quarters Allowance of $2,599 was turned dow because 1t was too
[14002]high in relation to CLACKETI's salary. fherefore, a quarters allovcenee of
[14003]£1,800 has been anrroved and will be written inte CLACKSTi’s contract. If,
[14004]however, oparational and cover reasons require CLACKST? to rent an apartment
[14005]Yerger tran the one he would cormally obtain under his allowance, the Ciief
[14006]ef Etation can authorize the extra rent 38 an operational expense which will
[14007]pat ba considered as compensation for CLACKETT and therefore not subject to .
[14009]federal income tax.

[14154]PART I
[14156]“1. Area of Operations
[14158]fhe general area of operations will be Mexico and the specific area will de
[14159]Mexico, D.F., Mexico.
[14161]2. Purpose
[14163]The purpose of thie project is to-provide a mechaniem for the development of
[14164]operational information in support of other Station operations. This purpose is
[14165]in conéonance with the Related Mission Directive for Mexico,
[14167]3. Background
[14169]As the reviewing authorities will be aware, this project includes several
[14171]operationa which were formerly carried under Projects LIPSTICK and LIJERSEY.
[14173]Partially aa a result of the June 1958 LIPSTICK compromise, when three surveillance
[14174]tean members were apprehended and placedin custody by the Mexican Police, and
[14175]additionally as a means for the orderly administration of assets, this new project
[14177]is submitted.
[14178]There follovs below a@ background aketch of the separate support assets, excluding
[14180]-@etatls concerning personnel, which will be discussed later {n the outline, which the
[14182]Station proposes for inclusion in LIEMPTY:
[14184]LIMITED - The LIMITED Base is located in such a position across the atreet
[14185]from the LIMERICK installation that photographs can easily be made of persons enter-
[14186]ing and leaving the LIMERICK main gate. These photographs are later developed and
[14187]printed by LIEMPTY-4, then returned to the LIMITED operator for the proper annotations.
[14188]After receipt of the photographs by the Station, the Case Officer reviews them for
[14189]LIMESA leads, newly arrived LIMERICK personnel, local and other nationals of poasible
[14190]operational interest and PRPRIME citizens who have visited LIMERICK.
[14192]KUBARK owns the property housing the LIMITED Base, having purchased it in mid-
[14193]1955; however, the ostensible omer is LIMOUSINE, to whom LIEMPTY-6 pays his rent
[14195]eech month through LIMOUSINS's bank.
[14197]LIMITED, with LIEMPTY-6 as base house operator, has been operating for nearly
[14198]three years and has not yet been involved in a compromising security situation. Prior
[14199]to April 1955, when Headquarters authorized the purchase of the LIMITED Base, the
[14200]Stution rented the Bage and used LIPSTICK-7 (later LIMESTONE-6 in LIFEAT Project
[14201]and now terminated) as the operator. This arrangement was in effect for about two
[14203]years.

[14228]and is located: da an apartzient building acros 6 the street from the LIMERICK
[14229]~inetallation. As inthe case of the LIMITED. Base, LILYRIC takes photographs of 4
[14230]‘peraons entering end leaving the main gate of the LIMERICK installation. The - 2 . .
[14231]~ LELYRIC photographs. are ‘Handled in the Sane wanner as the LIMITED pictures. In ”

[14239]a ter t personality is out'of town or not working for sone other reason.
[14241]The ‘EILyRre Bape-was originally acquired and made operative to provide for
[14242]_continudus coverage of the target in the event LIMITED is ever compromised. This
[14243]ig still the primary value of having two bases cover the same portion of the target.
[14244]LILYRIC is compartmented froni LIMITED and with the possible exception of GERENDE
[14245]could probably weather any security flap involving LIMITED. Obviously, there is
[14246]“some duplication in the vork of LIMITED and LILIRIC; however, the insurance value
[14248]of having two basis is quite apparent. -
[14250]LILYRIC bas been operating for about two end one-half years and insofar ag
[14251]the Station knows, no coupromising security situations have arisen.
[14253]LICALLA ~ The LICALLA Base is located in a position where photographs can be
[14254]taken of people within the LIMERICK garden | area. In addition, the operator of the
[14255]‘LICALLA Base submits weekly reports cn LIMERICK construction work, daily logs show-
[14256]ing when a target individual was seen that day, and reports showing the association
[14257]of target individuals with one another, LICALLA photographs are processed and handled :
[14258]in the same manner and by the people who handle the LIMITED and LILYRIC pictures. 1
[14260]. The LICALLA Base was acquired and operations began about two and one-half
[14261]yearo ago with ‘the primary purpose of obtaining additional operational information
[14262]concerning LIMERICE personnel, and operational leads which could be exploited for
[14264]. the physical penetration of the LINSRICK installation. Approximately one year ago aan
[14266]the LICALLA, Base was purchased by KUBARK through LIMOUSINE. LICALLA will probably
[14267]remain et its present. Aocation and will continue to subait photographs and reports
[14268]of the same type as are now being submitted. Other than the fact that LIEMPTY-9,
[14269]the LICALLA operator, is the brother of former LIPSTICK-47, no security problems are
[14271]" eurrently known to the Case Officer. However, reports from LIPSPICK2 12 and 30, the :
[14273]local police, the attorneys involved in the case, the foreign embassy concerned and
[14275]the LCFLUTTER tests give no indications that LIEMPTY-9 was evar mentioned during : :
[14278]the LIPSTICK flap.
[14280]LIEWTRAP - This ig a panel type truck equipped with cameras, telescopic 4
[14281]lens and other types of photographic equipment. It has been used during the past i :
[14282]two years as an investigative asset. The truck is parked about 75 yards from a
[14284]in the rear of the truck photographs in@ividuals or things of interest to the Station.
[14286]LIENTRAP is a valuable asset for any station to have and has enabled this Station to

[14309]. LIJERSEY = 1 This is ‘presently an approved project; however, it is believed
[14310]advisable for ai for administrative efficiency to include the LIJERSEY assets within the
[14311]framework of the LIEMPTY Project. Other than LILYRIC, which has already been
[14313]Tee ca rarer
[14315]15, 16 and 17. LIEMPIYs om and 16 have been employed for about one and a half years
[14316]end LIEMPTY-17. for” ‘about cone year. They have not developed into as competent a surveil-
[14317]lance team as the LIPSTICK team Was and probably never vill become as good. The
[14319]. LIJERSEY team has dbeen“ise’ mostly for stationary gurveillances and observations of
[14321]people of interest. LIEMPTY-17, liowever, has also been used as a pretext investigator.
[14322]He has excelled at this type of work and the Station continues to use him in this
[14323]capacity. The Station has been reluctant to use the LIJERSSY team as much as it
[14325]could have been used because of the closé association of the team with GERSNDS and,
[14327]in turn, GERENDE's knowledge and work on LIFEAT and the LIPSTICK surveillance team.
[14329]' The Station plans to recruit several agents of a type and social level more suitable
[14331]for all types of surveillance work than’ the present LIJERSEY team.
[14333]Oliver G. ACANTLING - SCANTLING has been asgociated with KUBARK for several
[14334]years in a number of different capacities. He was originally used as a member of
[14335]the LIPSTICK surveillance team and later was head of the same team. He has been
[14336]used to train new agents in the techniques of surveillance and investigation, to
[14337]acquire office space and apartments for the Station's operations and to conduct
[14338]investigations and make recruitment approaches to individuals of operational interest
[14339]to KUBARK. SCANTLING is currently being used by the Station as an investigator of
[14340]LIMESA leads andis atill actively pursuing the LIMESA/MKLIGHTING operation.
[14341]SCANTLING also maintains regular contact with LIEMPT{-3 and monitors his elicitatica
[14342]effort against the LICOOL-6 target. In this connection, both SCANTLING and LIEMPTY-3
[14343]meet regularly with Doris M. KILLGO for operational guidance. (Note: Please see
[14344]the LICOOL Field Project Outline for additional details on LICOUL-6)..

[14391]6. Targeta:
[14393]Oliver G. SCANTLING - The primary target is, of course, the LIMERICK installation
[14394]and personnel. However, SCANTLING devotes most of his time to following up LIFEAT
[14395]leads which ‘pertain.to services provided the LIMERICK installation by individuals
[14396]and firms, 6.g. construction mgineers, Tieor Waxing firms, safe experts, furniture
[14397]makers, interlor decoratora, etc.. Td ‘an extent, ‘these are considered targets of
[14398]opportunity and it would be impossible to list spécifically what future targets
[14399]will be available. One specific target which SCANTLING ia concerned with is the
[14400]oceupalit of the LICOOL-6 apartment; however, LIEMPTY-3, whom SCANTLING handles,
[14401]should more correctly be given credit for information produced on this target.
[14403]Raymond EH. GERENDE ~ LIMITED, LILYRIC and LICALLA all have as their target

[14680]a. Rayviond H. GERENDE is the only LIENPTY agent who has cover provided by
[14681]KUBARK, GcRENDE ostensibly is a salesman for LISTERINS's firm. However, he
[14682]seldem spends ary time pursuing hie cover occupation, since his operational
[14683]activities are so numerous and time conmming. GERENDE's cover with the LISTERINE
[14684]firm was arranged by the Station and, eo far, has been adequate for GERSNDS's needa.
[14690]HMH-A-11267 |
[14691]-KAPOR®1472
[14692]«lle . '
[14694]“". Be, The Case Officer, @ainton N..QUSLER, is known only to GERENDE and
[14695]SCANTLING. It would not’be possible to develop a suitable cover story that
[14696]vould apply to the frequent meetings between the Case Officer and the Principal
[14697]Agenta; therefore, meetings are clandestine and are wually conducted in the
[14699]Case Officer's. cari
[14701]_ ground information as to how. "we met and how our friendship developed, to be used
[14702]ia the event’ *the..Case Officer" 4e apprehended with either of the Principal Agents.
[14704]“@. None of the status cover occupations of any of the LIEMPTY agents id
[14705]completely compatible with his operational activities. Action cover stories are
[14706]davided upon before cach assignment and devised to complement each agent's status
[14707]cover as closely as possible. Base House operators, of course, generally conduct
[14708]operational assiguments within the confines of their quarters; consequently, the
[14709]need for action cover stories is reduced. Appropriate cover stories exist between
[14710]GERENDE and the agents in his network and between SCANTLING and LIEMPIY-3.
[14712]11. Contact and Commmication:
[14714]Appropriate clandestine coummications arrangenents exist between the various
[14715]echelons of LIZMPTY. At the present time these plans. consist of regular and
[14716]rapid-non scheduled (emergency) means of contact. GERENDE and SCANTLING are both
[14717]_- in the process of preparing detailed written communications plens for their
[14718]"- yespettive agents which include complete regular, alternate and rapid-non
[14719]achetuled meeting arrangements. Provistons will also be made in these plans for
[14720]oral recognition signals and physical bona fides that will enable a person unknown
[14721].to the agent to contact him should the need ever arise. The Case Officer ia cur-
[14722]rently working on a Warning System of Communications which will permit the ex-
[14723]peditious exfiltration of GERENDE and SCARTLING frou Mexico should a security
[14724]situation arise which would necessitate this. j
[14726]12. Control and Motivation:
[14728]&. Control - All LIEMPTY agents are local nationals. GERENDE and SCANTLING,
[14729]both of whom spent a great deal of their childhood years in PBPRIME and still
[14730]have relatives Living in PBPRIME, are in many respects more pro-PBPRIME than
[14731]many PRPRIME citizens. In the: “past, . both GERENDE and SCANTLING have evidenced
[14732]_& high degree of loyalty to Matthew S: DINGLEY, their former Station Case Officer,
[14733]and appear to be devoting tliat same loyalty to the present Case Officer. The
[14734]: eontrol over GERENDE and SCANTLING stems directly from their pro-PBPRIME beliefs
[14735]“and their personal loyalty ‘to their past and present Case Officers. The control
[14736]over other LIEMPTY agents ia based in part on pre-PBPRIME attitudes and on the
[14737]financial remuneration and good handling they receive@ from GERENDE and SCANTLING.
[14738]Realistically, control over LIEMPTY agents is based on mutual understandings and
[14739]confidence among individuals and should any agent decide to denounce PRPRIME or
[14740]_ KUBARK, as the case may be, there is not much that the Station could do.
[14742]b. Motivation - With the exception of GERENDE and SCANTLING, whose primary
[14744]motivations are ideological, financial compensation seems .to de the db:
[14745]motivational factor surrounding LIEMPTY agent ts. ° © the basic
