CONTINUATION OFDISPATCHCLASSIFICATIONSECRET.DISPATCH SYMBOL AND NUMBERHMMA-38700hours a week just watching (and photographing) MHKARSH personnel,and over the years he has gottento know then, and their habits,very well. Ho can spot unusual or atypical behavior, and when heis asked to put a certain individual under close scrutiny, hiscomments can be very useful. Nowcomers, no matter what theircover, will frequently gravitate to their IS colleagues in the"safety" of the MHHARSH back yard, thereby enabling us to maketentative AEKICK or AEGRIP identifications. TDYers can often belinked up with their internal escort officers. In the case ofspecific targets, LICALLA special coverage can sometimes give cluesto personal relationships which can be exploited. During the reportingperiod we had special coverage on AESEASICK (to determine anychanges in pattern following the ALMIDRIFF defection and followingthe operation against him -- and in both cases LICALLA did reportsome change in pattern); 201-305870 (for much the same reason,although here the evidence was not as clear); ALPOLYP (to gatherinformation on his patterns and his associatious); ALTAKEOFF(for the same reason); and 201-838166 (to find out if he did,in fact work in the "restricted area" and who his associates were,a requirement which was quickly satisfied). Also, LICALLA has beenasked to report on the arrival and activities of TDYers such asthe AEKICK security inspectors (he is not, of course, told that"security inspectors" are expected -- he is told of the expectedarrival of visitors, and he can spot a visitor or newcomer immediately),the possible arrival of 201-314616 and, currently, to attempt toidentify, at least by association, the person who went out to meetan LNREAD agent (subject of MEXICO CITY 2741, 17 March 1970). Thevalue of LICALLA to the REDTOP program in Mexico City can scarcelybe overstated.LILYRIC8. There have been no changes during the reporting period of   the operation of the LILYRIC basehouse activity, except that Bruce   H. FERNALD took over the handling of the LILYRIC personnel from   GERENDE in early December. FERNAID normally meets only LIEMPTY-13,   at pro-arranged sites and times (also well away from the MHHARSH   area), once a week for pick-up of the films and reports. He occa-   sionally meets LIEMPTY-14 (LIEMPTY-13's wife) when LIEMPTY-13 may   be out of town. The LILYRIC coverage is a family enterprisе   with the work equally divided among LIEMPTY-13, -1, -26, and-27,   who split up the hours of duty so that there is uninterrupted   coverage Mondays through Fridays from 0800 to 1800 hours, and   0800 to 1500 hours Saturdays. (Extra-hour or week-end coverage may   be requested as necessary, and the LILYRIC personnel responded to   the Station request for such extra coverage during the AEMIDRIFF   and AESEASICK cases.) The family has continued to provide reports   during the reporting period on all activity centered on the front   entrance of the MHHARSH Embassy. Such coverage included, as in the   past, daily logs on the comings and goings of WHHARSH officials,   up-to-date recording of MHILARSH license numbers, special activities   and visitors (particularly Americans, of whon five were spotted and   reported on during the reporting period), and some 3,500 photographs.   As an example of the value of LILYRIC coverage, within one week of   the change of license plates at the MHHARSH Embassy (a biannual change   affecting all of Mexico, with new numbers bearing no relation to   the old), LILYRIC had provided a complete list of the new numbers   (along with the cars to which the plates are assigned). Among   other things, this enabled the Station to identify AESEASICK'S   companions during his last few days in Mexico. Without LILYRIC,   identification of the new license plates would have taken months and   would have handicapped our operations. LILYRIC has also provided   special coverage of the visit of a Latin American CP representative,   and is currently watching for the two AEKICK security technicians,   201-314616, and the man who went to meet the LNREAD agent. Also,   LILYRIC has reported on visits of Mexican students and the identity   of the MHHARSH representatives who deal with them or hand out   literature to them. In short, LILYRIC's services, even though theFORM8-64140153 a USE PREVIOUS EDITION.CLASSIFICATIONPAGE NO.SECRETX4CONTINUED
