SECRET-2-g. There would be other problems confronting such a team from a security standpoint, such as cover, credentials, which would always pose a threat to the operation.2. To sum up, it would appear that the proposal in 2a of reference is not feasible because of the time and expense involved plus the always latent security hazard.3. I agree with paragraph 2 b of reference. Not only should the personnel of the surveillance team de recruited at the station, but as outlined in paragraph 3 it should be relatively easy to find suitable candidates. For example it is proposed under the new LIEMPTY project (this consists of the remainder of the non-blown LIPSTICKS and the LIJERSEYS) to recruit a physical surveillance team. Two of the station's outstanding indigenous agents, Scantling and Gerende, are under this project and both are capable of spotting, developing, and recruiting agents.4. I agree with paragraph 3b, c, and d, and believe that Headquarters should make every effort to find an experienced end competent case officer to fill Clower's slot as the outside surveillance case officer.![signature]John B.

14 October 1958MEMORANDUM FOR: CWHSUBJECT: Development of Physical Surveillance Assets in Mexico1. On 8 October 1958 a meeting of representatives of SR Division and CI Staff was held, attended by the undersigned, to discuss means for building up physical surveillance assets in Mexico. The SR and CI representatives pointed out that their current and projected work on BOMORNING and their cases requires a considerable strengthening of physical surveillance assets, and it was the consensus that these assets would be used far into the future on Soviet targets. It was further agreed that since the LIPSTICK operation has encountered difficulties this year, new assets should be sought.2. Various approaches to the problem were discussed, the most viable of which were as follows:a. Recruiting of teams or basic elements for teams in the Mexican colonies of the southwestern U. S.b. Dispatch of a new case officer to Mexico with the sole and specific duty of developing and running the new teams.c. A combination of a and b.3. Initially, it is believed the dispatch of a new case officer to Mexico would be the most successful and give the best immediate results, for the following reasons:a. Headquarters and Station records contain the names of numerous cleared contacts or contacts who could be cleared and through whom introductions could be made to persons suitable for surveillance work. Hitherto these have not been fully exploited owing to the heavy workload on Station personnel and the unimpaired functioning till recently of the LIPSTICK group. Some of these contacts were felt out as recruiters and spotters in years past but the matter was never pushed since the need was not so great as now.b. A now case officer is needed because the present Station staff is still too busy to devote the amount of time needed to build carefully and train thoroughly the new assets.c. The new assets will require the full time direction and coordination of a case officer who has no other responsibilities. In this connection, it would be advisable to try to select, train and utilize at least twelve new agents as soon as possible.
[104-10187-10009.pdf — page 175]
-2-d. In brief, a replacement of the former physical surveillance leader is indicated, but a more mature and competent case officer is needed.4. Plan a, recruitment in the U. S., should not be dismissed from consideration. It would take longer than the other plan but might be beneficial in enabling the new agents to be trained in the U. S. They would then have to spend time getting into Mexico and familiarize themselves with operations and operational climate there. This plan, however, presents a problem as to who is to do the recruiting and training in the U. S. SR Division has offered to be of whatever assistance they can, but there is no indication they could do any better at this than WIID.5. It may be of interest to you to know that the SR representatives said the best work done anywhere in the world on the BGMORNING case, which has wide international ramifications, was done by LIKAYAK-2 in Mexico.![Signature of Charles W.

VIA AIR(Specially Air or Sea Pouch)DISPATCH NO. HM-A-3992KAPOK-492TO Chief, WHDFROM Chief of Station, MexicoSUBJECT/GENERAL OperationalSPECIFIC LIPSTICK/LICALLAREF: a. MEXI 360; b. DIR 388611. On 16 December 1955 the daily check of property which this Station may desire to use for operational purposes (LICOOL run) showed that a house adjacent to the LIMERICK target installation was vacant. LIPSTICK-19 was contacted immediately to investigate the property. He reported that it was a one-story house(duplex) in very poor condition which was being repaired by the owner for rental. He further reported that from the maid's room on the roof a clear view of the entire LIMERICK compound was possible and, if he had understood the LIMERICK language, he would have been able to understand several conversations which were going on between LIMERICK officers in the game area of the compound. LIPSTICK-19 also reported that from the roof of this house it was a distance of only approximately fifty feet to the LIMERICK building across flat roofs with no obstructing partitions except for a small wall and several strands of barbed wire, all totalling about four or five feet high between the last roof and the LIMERICK building.2. Based upon this favorable report, reference A was sent immediately to Headquarters requesting authorization to rent the house. Two days later reference B was received granting approval to rent the house. Consequently, LIPSTICK-21 (the only cleared married man available to the Station, with the exception of LIBERTY, who would fit into the area) was approached and requested to rent the house. This posed a considerable problem to LIPSTICK-21, since the house has only two bedrooms and he already had two children, and at that very time his wife was in the hospital giving birth to a third child. Further, he had a very comfortable house (a duplex which he shared with his brother-in-law at a pre-devaluation rent) which he would never be able to again acquire after this operation was terminated. He did, however, agree to take the house and it was
[104-10187-10009.pdf — page 181]
HMM-A-3992KAPOK-49216 January 1956Page 2apparent to all concerned that his decision was based upon loyalty tothis Station and dedication to the fight against Coimunism. It is hopedthat this unselfish and devoted act of LIPSTICK-21's will be maje amatter of permanent record.3. The reason for LIPSTICK-21 to move from very comfortable quarters   at less rent into cramped quarters at a higher rental needed some explana-   tion for his friends and relatives. There is a very fine private school   approximately one block from this house which LIPSTICK-21 hai often men-   tioned as the best in the city for his children, and consequently he told   everyone that the reason for moving was to be as close as possible to this   school so that his children could attend. It should be noted in this   respect that, in reality, LIPSTICK-21 had been sending his chiliren to   one of the best public schools in Mexico City at no cost. Under the present   circumstances, he will have to pay tuition at the private school because   it is the only decent school in the area and it provides excellent cover   for his residence in the area. It is requested that Headquarters authorize   this Station to assist LIPSTICK-21 in the payment of his chiliren's tuition   for the above stated reasons. Approximate cost of the tuition would be   $20.00 U.S. per child per month, or a total for LIPSTICK-21 of $20.00 US   per month. Authorization is requested to assist LIPSTICK-21 by payment   of $30.00 U.S. per month.4. The house is ore of a series of one-story houses that extend from   the LIMERICK building to a four-story apartment building on the far   corner. The fronts of the houses are all directly on the sidewalk with   the doors opening onto a one-step stoop. The backs of the houses and the   walls of the back patios all abut the compound of the LIMERICK installa-   tion. The rear windows of the house face a patio which ends in a brick   wall. This brick wall is not as high as the roof of the house, ending   about four feet below the level of the roof. There are stairs which   ascend from this patio to the roof where the maid's quarters are situated.   About halfway up these stairs one can turn and obtain an unrestricted   view of the LIMERICK compound. However, the maid's room offers the best   operational possibilities since it provides concealment for the observer   and his equipment, plus a more advantageous view. LIPSTICK-21 told his   maid that she would have to sleep out at a local pension since he needed   her room for his radio experiments. This is a plausible story since   LIPSTICK-21 is known to be an enthusiastic radio amateur.5. The maid's room has a door that faces across the roofs in the direction   of the LIMERICK installation and one window which faces across the house   roof toward the street. A view of the LIMERICK compound is obtained by   an observer who is back in the room looking through the partly opened door.   Some better method of observation will be worked out which will eliminate   the security hazard of a door partially opened at all times of operation.

HA-3992KAFOK-49216 January 1956Page 36. At present we plan to allow LIPSTICK-21 considerable time to get settled securely into his new quarters before starting any operational efforts. After this waiting period is over anawe feel that we can securely commence ope:'ations, we plan on using the base for the following efforts:a. A supplementary photographic base. In this connection the request for additional Exactas and spotting scopes previously made should be expedited. It is anticipated that much operation informa- tion will be developed by this photographic work showing the various associations between the people when they are at play in the compound wnich can never be determined from the LIPSTICK-LIMITED coverage. Visitors who seldom leave the compound do engage in social activity within the compound and can be photographed for possible identifica- tion by the AEDIPPERS. Items which are losded into the automobiles for transportation to unknown points may be identified through this coverage. Further, should LIPSTICK/LIMITED be terminated for any reason, we would be able to continue some coverage from this base.b. Observation by LIPSTICK-21 of the builtings and the activities in the compound will furnish valuable information on the daily living habits of the residents and their guests.c. The LIPSTICK/LIDOMINO base, presently being occupied by LINCH- FIN, is about 75 yards away from the LIMERICK target while LIPSTICK/ LICALLA is only about fifty feet. This base may assist the Head- quarters technicians, who periodically use the LIPSTICK/LIDOMINO base, for reasons of proximity and the use of their equipment from a different direction. The exact use of the LIFSTICK/LICALIA base in this respect must be determined by the Headquarters technicians who are familiar with the equipment used.d. Conversations in the LIMERICK compound are audible to someone who is listening from the maid's room. Naturally street noises and extraneous sounds interfere considerably with this eavesdropping so that the employment of some parabolic microphone ani recorder must be used for optimum results.e. Should future operations provide the opportunity to install a transmitter microphone (resonant cavity) in some item carried into the LINERICK target, LIPSTICK/LICALLA would serve as an excellent base since it has direct line of sight to the back of the LIMERICK target.

# SECRET...M-A-3992MAPOK-49216 January 1956Page 4f. Preliminary investigation reveals that the possibility does exist that physical access may be obtained to the LIMERICK target from LIPSTICK/LICALIA. This investigation will be intensified and a full report, together with available photographs, will be sent to Headquarters for study by FEARSON and NILES as to the feasibility of this type of operation.7. As stated in paragraphs two and three above, LIPSTICK-21 has undergone considerable personal sacrifice to accommodate this Station in this operation. It has always been the practice to pay a base house operator a starting salary of approximately $120.00 U.S. per month, since the work of operating a base house is almost full-time. LIPSTICK-21 now earns $64.00 U.S. for work of approximately four hours per day. It is therefore requested that this Station be authorized by cable to increase the salary of LIPSTICK-21 to $120.00 U.S. per month.Matthew S. DINGLEYDistribution:3 - Wash2 - FilesPSD/gfbSECRET
