SECRET- 3 -later that year the building it had previously been in was razed by the owner, KDABBEY-1. From 1964 on it must be assumed that the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City believes it is under regular photographic sur-veillance.Further project changes took place in 1966 when the LILYRIC basehouse was relocated to another apartment with approximately the same view. In May 1968 the LIMITED basehouse was terminated and LIEMPTY-6, the basehouse keeper, retired. This affected the LIENTRAP coverage of Soviet vehicular movement monitored and directed from the LIMITED basehouse. With the closing of LIMITED and the Station decision to replace Raymond H. GERENDE, Mexican national contract agent who handled the LIEMPTY Project since its inception, the LIENTRAP mobile surveillance team was underemployed, and the decision was made to move it to the LIEMBRACE Project. This was done in early 1970, soon after GERENDE had been relieved of operational responsibilities in December 1969.The photo processing of the KDFACTOR (formerly LIEMPTY) film take is now being done by the Station. In the past, it was done by the Station, by GERENDE, and by KDFACTOR-1, who was terminated amicably in early 1971. The building housing the KDLITERAL (formerly LICALLA) photo basehouse was purchased in 1957 by KDABBEY-1 for the Station. KDLITERAL is in a row of four houses all owned ostensibly by KDABBEY-1 but actually by the Agency. This row also houses a base-house for FID's KDVAULT Project. The apartment building housing the KDABSINTHE (formerly LILYRIC) photo basehouse is owned outright by KDABBEY-1, who has been most cooperative in assisting the Station in maintaining and occasionally moving (1965 and 1966) photo basehouses. The LIMITED photo basehouse was also located on KDABBEY-l's property when it was active.The individual basehouse operations are and have always been compartmented one from the other. The only points of breakdown in the compartmentation have been: (a) the LIMITED basehouse was linked to the LIENTRAP mobile surveillance; (b) KDFACTOR-1 was processing films from all the basehouses and could, therefore, be aware of their exact locations; (c) GERENDE was aware of all aspects of the KDFACTOR operation, and has since been terminated; (d) Oliver G. SCANTLING, Station contract agent retired in 1971, was aware of the KDFACTOR ProjectSECRET

Ownerand landlord of KDVAULT andKDFACTOR basehouses,Regarding the security of the above active KDFACTOR agents,the KDLITERAL basehouse is handled by KDFACTOR-2 with the assistanceof his wife, KDFACTOR-10. They have a long-time maid and a 13-year-old son who lives with them in the basehouse. Neither the son nor the maidis believed to be witting. The photographic equipment is kept in a lockedroom, and the product is kept in a locked safe. KDFACTOR-2 was recruitedby KDCALVERT-1, who is an active, long-term Station agent in theKDCALVERT Project and who is not considered a threat to KDFACTOR-2'ssecurity. KDFACTOR-2's activities are also known to his brother, theformer LIPSTICK-47, who was one of the two LIPSTICK surveillance teammembers arrested in 1958 and who gave the police considerable informationregarding LIPSTICK surveillance activities, LIPSTICK-47 was terminatedin late 1958 and is believed to have withheld from the police the informationregarding KDFACTOR-2 and the KDLITERAL basehouse. KDFACTOR-2and his family have occupied the KDLITERAL basehouse since 1957 andhave been discreet and security conscious in their dealings with neighborsand relatives.SECRET
[104-10187-10014.pdf — page 128]
SECRET- 6 -The KDABSINTHE basehouse is manned by KDFACTOR-5, hiswife KDFACTOR-6, and his two sons KDFACTOR-8 and KDFACTOR-9.The SGSWIRL of 2 March 1966 went into detail on who is witting ofKDFACTOR-5's work for the Station. The result was that his immediatefamily, including a married daughter who no longer lives at the basehouse,are aware of the photographic operation, KDFACTOR-5 was recruited byLIEMPTY-12, a U. S. citizen with a private company in Mexico City whois no longer working with the Station but who is considered patriotic andno threat to KDFACTOR security.4. Terminated Agents Possibly Affecting Present Project Security:A. Raymond H. GERENDEGERENDE is a Mexican citizen and was a contract agentuntil his termination on 26 June 1970. He had been employed by the StationIntermittently since 1955 and was used almost exclusively in support activities.Since the start of the LIEMPTY Project in 1958 GERENDE had been directlyinvolved with this project serving as cutout to the basehouses, carrying andprocessing films, and giving general direction to the project as principalagent. In 1969, after years of excellent service with the Station, GERENDEhad serious marital problems which ended in separation from his wife,KDFACTOR-7. From December 1969 to June 1970 GERENDE was not usedoperationally but was maintained on half pay with the hope the divorce pro-ceedings would be completed quickly. When it became apparent the divorcewould drag on interminably, the Station reluctantly terminated GERENDEand his wife. Bruce H. FERNALD, career agent, met with GERENDEmonthly from July 1970 through May 1971 while paying him his terminationbonus in ten installments. GERENDE is still living in Mexico City, wherehe owns some property and has an income as an English teacher to employeesof two local firms. He visited his wife and children in Holland in December1970. It appears he may now be financially pressed as his English classschedule has been cut back. The Station as of 10 April 1972 had no informa-tion that would indicate GERENDE has violated his secrecy agreement.There is an indication that GERENDE came to the attentionof the Soviets in 1968, A Mexican walk-in to the FBI office in Mexico City,who was later interrogated by the Federal Security Police in 1970, saidthat in 1968 he had been employed by the Soviet Embassy Second Secretary,Oleg Masksimovich Nechiporenko (201-305870), to investigate personsworking with the Mexican Olympic Committee. The persons investigatedSECRET
[104-10187-10014.pdf — page 129]
SECRET- 7 -included GERENDE, who apparently became a specific target of Sovietinvestigation. It is unclear from the report of the Federal Security Policehow far the Soviet investigation of GERENDE had proceeded, Nechiporenkowas PNG'd from Mexico in March 1971, GERENDE's possible exposure tothe Soviets could have been through his work on the Olympic Committee asa translator or through his work for the Station, which used him for a widerange of support tasks against the Soviet and Cuban targets.B. KDFACTOR-7 (wife of GERENDE)KDFACTOR-7 is a Dutch citizen and the former wife ofGERENDE. She returned to the Netherlands in July 1970 with her children.She had served as a support agent assisting GERENDE. She is believedwitting, in general terms, of GERENDE's activities regarding the KDFACTORProject. She was terminated on 26 June 1970 and signed both a secrecyagreement and quit claim. After termination it became apparent that shehad considerable hard feelings toward both the Agency and GERENDE overfinancial problems between her family and GERENDE. While the Stationwas not directly involved in all the financial problems, the Station wasinvolved in regard to her divorce claims against GERENDE's salary, alarge part of which came covertly from the Station. In July 1970 KDFACTOR-7came to the Agency Headquarters and complained about her financial settle-ment. In September and November 1970 she wrote two letters directly tothe Agency on the same subject. In late 1970 she also asked a Hague Embassypolitical officer to put her in contact with the Agency; however, she did nottell him the nature of her business. In January 1971 the Agency contaciedKDFACTOR-T's brother, a U. S. Army civilian with a "Top Secret" clearanceliving in Alexandria, Virginia, and was able to resolve the financial mis-understandings with KDFACTOR-7. In January 1971 the Hague Stationreported KDFACTOR had, without Station influence, obtained a job as socialsecretary with the Department of State at the Embassy. It is believed thatthis job has probably solved many of her financial problems and should alsoinhibit her from exposing her past work with the Mexico City Station, assuch exposure could jeopardize her job. The Embassy in the Hague wasbriefed in general terms on KDFACTOR-7's background.C. KDFACTOR-1KDFACTOR-1 is a Mexican citizen and the brother-in-lawof GERENDE. He was hired by the Station in 1956 to assist GERENDE inprocessing the photographic take of the KDFACTOR Project (at that timethe LIPSTICK Project and later the LIEMPTY Project). KDFACTOR-1SECRET

SECRET-8-was later assisted in processing the photographic take by his wife, LIEMPTY-5, who is GERENDE's sister, KDFACTOR-1 was terminated in March 1971, and the photographic processing previously done by KDFACTOR-1 is now done in the Station. The termination was amicable and largely due to delays in film processing as KDFACTOR-l's medical practice expanded. There does not appear to be any security problem in the termination of KDFACTOR-1 as he is discreet and also a close relative of GERENDE. The security of processing the film in KDFACTOR-I's medical office was good as KDFACTOR-l's wife, LIEMPTY-5, was assist- ing him with the processing and with the security of the darkroom.D. LIEMPTY-5LIEMPTY-5 was hired by the Station in 1957 to assist KDFACTOR-1 with the processing of KDFACTOR films. She is the sister of GERENDE and wife of KDFACTOR-1. She was terminated along with KDFACTOR-1 in March 1971. Due to her close relationship with GERENDE and KDFACTOR-1, she is not considered a threat to the Project Security.E. Oliver G. SCANTLINGSCANTLING is a Mexican citizen who worked as a Station agent from 1954 until his termination without prejudice in February 1971. SCANTLING is in an excellent financial position and has assisted the Station in recent years largely because his strong motivation to work against the Communists. SCANTLING worked as a surveillance team leader from 1954 to 1957 and then in the LIEMPTY (KDFACTOR) Project from 1958 through 1966. He was the cut-out to LIEMPTY-6 and a back-up principal agent for GERENDE. SCANTLING's termination was amicable, and he is not considered a security problem to the Station or the KDFACTOR Project.F. LIEMPTY-6LIEMPTY-6, a Mexican citizen and long-term Station asset, was retired in May 1968. He had manned the LIMITED photo base- house with his wife and son assisting him. He had been working with the Station since 1954, but age and ill health had reduced his efficiency. LIEMPTY-6 knows GERENDE and SCANTLING, but is not aware of the names or locations of any of the present KDFACTOR agents and basehouses. While he could give information on his participation in KDFACTOR activities up to 1968, he has no motive to do this and is apparently happily retired on his Agency termination bonus plus some financial assistance from his son- in-law. He is not considered a threat to the security of this Project.SECRET

# SECRET-9-There was one indication that the Soviets were seeking out the *LIMITED* photo basehouse and may have had suspicions concerning LIEMPTY-6. This was a report by KDADAGE-10 that in mid-1966 Stanislav Sergeyevich Silnikov (201-271103), a Soviet Embassy guard, asked KDADAGE-10 to report on his neighbors near the Soviet Embassy. Silnikov expressed interest in all the occupants of the new apartment building which houses the KDABSINTHE photo basehouse, but did not mention the KDABSINTHE base-house keepers by name. Silnikov did name specific persons he was interested in and these included LIEMPTY-6. KDADAGE-10, of unknown reliability, said he did not give Silnikov any information, but added that, between himself and the Station, he suspected LIEMPTY-6 and had heard it rumored he worked for the Americans. In 1966 Headquarters already assumed the Soviets were aware of the *LIMITED* basehouse because it was used for radio direction of the LIENTRAP mobile surveillance. In any case, the Soviets apparently took no action prior to the closing of the *LIMITED* basehouse and the relocation of LIEMPTY-6 in May 1968. It is believed this incident has no implications that would threaten the security of current KDFactor assets.5. Current KFACTOR Security Practices:The two photo basehouses, KDLITERAL and KDABSINTHE remain compartmented, as they have been throughout the history of the Project. The Station case officer responsible for the project meets weekly with KDFACTOR-2, responsible for the KDLITERAL basehouse, and with KDFACTOR-5, responsible for the KDABSINTHE basehouse. In these meetings he picks up the product, provides new supplies, pays salaries and handles miscellaneous administrative matters. These are car meetings usually held in early morning or at night and the pickup points are changed regularly. Meeting time is kept to a minimum and meetings are pre-scheduled whenever possible. The photographic product is processed in the Station, thus increasing the security and timeliness of its handling over the past practice of having KDFACTOR-1 process it in his office darkroom. The case officer only meets with KDFACTOR-2 and KDFACTOR-5; however, in emergencies other witting family members of either basehouse can be contacted and met. In case the present sites or personnel are compromised, the Station has rented another apartment in the building housing the KDABSINTHE basehouse and has installed members of the KDCALVERT Project as residents. This new apartment offers as good a vantage pointSECRET
