# CONTINUATION OF DISPATCHSECRETHM1-23322g) Raymond H. GERENDE - During the reporting period, GERENDE served as the full-time LIETTY F/A, operating as the cutout to the LIMITED, LILYRIC, and LICALLA basehouses and bearing the agent handling responsibility for the operators of the LIEMTRAP mobile unit as well as LIEMITY-4 and LIEMPTY-19, a Station asset (translator) carried under Project LIFEAT. This overall assignment involved at least twelve clandestine agent meetings per week (in addition the 34 meetings held with the Project Case Officer).GERENDE also made mumerous and essential contributions to the sensitive AMROD operation. It should be noted that GERENDE's alertness in spotting the PERUMEN surveillance of one of the AMROD accommodation addresses, undoubtedly saved this sensitive deception operation from exposure by the opposition.## SECURITY AND PROBLEMSOther than the attempted PERUMEN surveillance of the AMROD accommodation address noted above (which was neutralized by GERENDE's alertness), there have been no known incidents which adversely affected the security of the LIFEMPTY project or the related agent personnel. While several minor administrative problems arose, all such matters were resolved locally.## CHANGES AND PLANNINGa) One major operational change is planned for the ensuin; period. Upon completion of the new LIMOUSINE structure (see HMMA-25352, dated 10 February 1965), the Station will move the present LILYRIC basehouse personnel (LIEMPTYS 13, 14, 26 and 27) into that edifice rather than the LIMITED (LIEMPTYS 6 and 7) personnel as originally planned. Ancillary modifications are: 1) To increase the hours of both the photographic and physical surveillance coverage provided by the LILYRIC operators (dawn to dusk) during the week days and 2) have LIMITED provide photographic and physical surveillance coverage on week-ends only, while remaining on daily stand-by for radio-dispatching assignments. These changes were dictated by the following considerations:1) The new LIMOUSINE building will offer a much better vantage point for both photographic and physical surveillance than does the present complex which houses the LILYRIC and LIMITED bases. Therefore, the Station feels that the personnel occupying this new base should be those possessing the highest technical skills and also those able to provide the most thorough and complete coverage. Since the LIMITED base now has only one trained operator while the LILYRIC basehouse has three, the LILYRIC group is indicated.2) Because it appears that the coverage of the LIMERICK installation will be a long-range and continuing requirement, the Station desires to staff the new hase with personnel of long-range potential. Since LIEMPTY-6 is now almost 60 years old, it is obvious that he does not possess this potential; however, the LILYRIC agent complex happily combines experienced personnel with youthful agents.3) Finally, the social and financial status of the LILYRIC personnel is much more compatible and consistent with the environment of the new building than is that of the LIMITED family.While it is anticipated that these modifications and changes will initially cause varicus administrative and operational problems, it is believed that all such adjustments can be handled locally.b) The requisite copies of the PRO Part II pertinent to LIETTY-26 were forwarded to Headquarters with main-27503, dated 3 November 1965 along with a request for a full Operational Approval for Subject for use as a cut-out to the LILYRIC basehouse. LIEPTY-27 was granted a Provisional Operational Approval on 26 January 1966 for use as a part-time basehouse keeper/operator at the LILYRIC installation.
