SECRET22 MAY 1973MEMORANDUM FOR: Associate Deputy Director for OperationsTHROUGH: MPS/BGSUBJECT: Amendment and Termination of Project KDFACTOR1. Project KDFACTOR supported a visual and photographic surveillance operation in Mexico City targetted against the Soviet Embassy. Assets included five agents and two basehouse surveillance sites. Termination of this project, effective 30 June 1972, was the result of a security review which revealed that the VWBLANKET principal knew the basic details of the KDFACTOR operations.2. Agent termination was accomplished without any immediate difficulties; however, continued security will depend on the terminated agents' silence. In the event there is a compromise, the risk of damage to the Station's relations with the Mexican Government should be minimized because of the compatible nature of KDFACTOR'S operations.3. The ADDO approved Amendment No. 1 to the project in the amount of $9,844 for FY 1972 to provide for the agent terminations, but an overrun of $7,246 occurred as the result of miscalculation of termination costs. This project action requests this additional sum of $7,246 to cover these expenses.4. The FI Staff recommends approval of this amendment/termination request.![signature]L. A.

SECRETMEMORANDUM FOR: Associate Deputy DirectorFor OperationsSUBJECT : Project KDFACTOR - Amendmentand Termination Request.1. The KDFACTOR Project (until 1970 encrypted   as the LIEMPTY Project) was initially approved in   1958 to provide financial and material support for   visual and photographic surveillance operations   targetted against the Soviet Embassy in Mexico   City. In June 1972 the project supported five   agents and two basehouse surveillance sites.2. The KDFACTOR Project was approved by the   ADDC in the amount of $19,000 for FY 72 and   $20,000 for FY 73. Per DIRECTOR 285255, dated   30 June 1972, the ADDO approved Amendment No. 1   to the KDFACTOR Project in the amount of $9,844   for FY 72 to provide for costs of agent   terminations.3. The decision to terminate all agents and   facilities under the KDFACTOR Project was based   on a security review of the project activities   which indicated that the VWBLANKET principal knew   the basic details of the KDFACTOR operations,   including the target, the location of the surveillance   sites, and probably the true names and former   cryptonyms of the agents covered by the project.4. The cost of terminating the agents under the   KDFACTOR Project amounted to $15,573; the cost of   closing down the two basehouses under the project   was $1,412. The total amount charged to the KDFACTOR   Project in FY 72 was $36,090 which is $7,246 over   the approved authorization of $28,844. The overage   was incurred in terminating the agents and   facilities associated with the KDFACTOR Project.   Although Amendment No. 1 to the project was   approved in the amount of $9,844 to cover the   cost of terminating the agents in theSECRET

SECRETproject, the actual payments made by Mexico City Station per the terms of each Memorandum of Oral Commitment (MOC) and in accordance with Mexican law and custom exceeded the estimate for termination costs made by Headquarters at the time the Amendment was requested. Termination payments made to each agent are as follows:KDFACTOR-2 (Recruited 1956) $8,160KDFACTOR-5 (Recruited 1956) 2,366KDFACTOR-6 (Recruited 1956) 2,830KDFACTOR-8 (Recruited 1965) 649KDFACTOR-9 (Recruited 1966) 1,568The long tenure of three of the terminated agents, the relatively high monthly salary of KPFACTOR-2 ($440) plus the computation of the termination payments in accordance with Mexican law and custom were the primary reasons that the final agent termination costs amounted to $15,573.5. All agent terminations were accomplished in an amicable manner. No visible security risks were apparent at the time of the terminations although any one, or all, of the terminated agents may at some future date decide to divulge to an interested party the details of the KDFACTOR Project operations. KDFACTOR-2, KDFACTOR-5, and KDFACTOR-6 have worked in photo surveillance operations for the Station since 1956 and, therefore, obviously have considerable knowledge of targets, former safesites, personnel, and modus operandi of the Station. However, since the KDFACTOR Project was not concerned with incompatible operations or targets, we believe the risks of damage to Station relations with the Mexican Government in the event of exposure of the KDFACTOR Project operations by a terminated agent are within acceptable limits.6. It is requested that the KDFACTOR Project be amended to provide the sum of $7,246 for FY - 72 to cover the costs of terminating five agents and two basehouse surveillance sites under this project.SECRET

MANKUNAS    assumed responsibility for this project, including agent    meetings.Accomplishments:1.  This project has provided continuous daily photo-,    graphic and visual coverage of personnel and vehicles entering    or leaving the Soviet Embassy. A total of 530 rolls of film    were produced during the reporting period. U.S. citizens,    visitors, and DY personnel are given special attention.

Additionally, attendance sheets are maintained to    establish who is at the Embassy on any given day and hour.
