# -11-b. The Case Officer, Quinton N. OUSLER, is known only to GERENDE and SCANTLING. It would not be possible to develop a suitable cover story that would apply to the frequent meetings between the Case Officer and the Principal Agents; therefore, meetings are clandestine and are usually conducted in the Case Officer's car. However, suitable cover stories have been developed between the Case Officer and SCANTLING and between the Case Officer and GERENDE involving background information as to how we met and how our friendship developed, to be used in the event the Case Officer is apprehended with either of the Principal Agents.c. None of the status cover occupations of any of the LIEMPTY agents is completely compatible with his operational activities. Action cover stories are decided upon before each assignment and devised to complement each agent's status cover as closely as possible. Base House operators, of course, generally conduct operational assignments within the confines of their quarters; consequently, the need for action cover stories is reduced. Appropriate cover stories exist between GERENDE and the agents in his network and between SCANTLING and LIEMPTY-3.## 11. Contact and Communication:Appropriate clandestine communications arrangements exist between the various echelons of LIEMPTY. At the present time these plans consist of regular and rapid-non scheduled (emergency) means of contact. GERENDE and SCANTLING are both in the process of preparing detailed written communications plans for their respective agents which include complete regular, alternate and rapid-non scheduled meeting arrangements. Provistons will also be made in these plans for oral recognition signals and physical bona fides that will enable a person unknown to the agent to contact him should the need ever arise. The Case Officer is currently working on a Warning System of Communications which will permit the expeditious exfiltration of GERENDE and SCANTLING from Mexico should a security situation arise which would necessitate this.## 12. Control and Motivation:a. Control - All LIEMPTY agents are local nationals. GERENDE and SCANTILING, both of whom spent a great deal of their childhood years in PBPRIME and still have relatives living in PBPRIME, are in many respects more pro-PBPRIME than many PBPRIME citizens. In the past, both GERENDE and SCANTLING have evidenced a high degree of loyalty to Matthew S. DINGLEY, their former Station Case Officer, and appear to be devoting that same loyalty to the present Case Officer. The control over GERENDE and SCANTLING stems directly from their pro-PBPRIME beliefs and their personal loyalty to their past and present Case Officers. The control over other LIEMPTY agents is based in part on pre-PBPRIME attitudes and on the financial remuneration and good handling they received from GERENDE and SCANTLING. Realistically, control over LIEMPTY agents is based on mutual understandings and confidence among individuals and should any agent decide to denounce PBPRIME or KUBARK, as the case may be, there is not much that the Station could do.b. Motivation With the exception of GERENDE and SCANTLING, whose primary motivations are ideological, financial compensation seems to be the basic motivational factor surrounding LIEMPTY agents.
