SECRET/-5-and, consequently, has increased his own operational abilities.2. Insofar as future planning is concerned, SCANTLING will continue to devote the greater portion of his time to the LITACIT operation. In addition, he will continue his work against the LIMERICK target, i.e., investi- gating LIFEAT and photographic base house leads in connection with the objectives of the LIEMPTY and LIMESA projects. The Station still plans to maintain SCANTLING as an independent Station asset free from the responsibilities of super- vising other agents and operations.3. SCANTLING will probably continue providing administrative support to LIEMPTY-3 (now covered under the LICOOL project), but will not be responsible for the operational direction of L-3.B. Raymond H. GERENDE Segment:1. During the past year the three photographic base houses have been trained in the use of a faster type film (HY-PAN) to facilitate the taking of photographs on dark cloudy days. One base, LICALLA, has made tests and recently begun making 35mm color slides using the new fast type Ektachrome film. This film is now processed in the Mexico Station dark room which heretofore was not possible. It is the Station's opinion that a few color photographs of target personnel will be useful for identification purposes. The LICALLA Base has also, during the past year, begun taking 16mm motion pictures in color with the expectation that Headquarters can eventually provide lip reading analysis of conversations taking place in the garden area of the LIMERICK installation.2. Other operational progress has been made in connection with relieving GERENDE of responsibility for the LIJERSEY surveillance team. This now leaves GERENDE with a sufficient amount of time to supervise all photographic base houses, LIENTRAP and the outside photographic laboratory.3. Future planning in relation to this segment does not call for expansion. Rather, the Station plans to perfect some of the photographic procedures now in use and to experiment with night photography possibilities using the fast HY-PAN film with telephoto lens of varying lengths. GERENDE will also concentrate on increasing the security and communications procedures used with each base.C. Simon D. CLACKETT Segment:1. CLACKETT's assumption of responsibility for the LIJERSEY surveillance team has been a progressive step for the development of an additional and much needed support ascet. Although the LIJERSEY team has been in existence for several years, it was only during the past year, with the assignment ofSECRET/

As mentioned above, CLACKETT has done an excellent job during the past few months in getting the team ready for future operational assignments.2.  The Station plans, during the coming year, to increase the strength of the LIJERSEY team by at least two agents and one car. This would then give a total LIJERSEY complement of six agents and three radio cars. The Station will continue to take all necessary precautions not to rush the development of the team nor to give it assignments which are too complicated and too difficult. It is anticipated that the team will begin some surveillance work within the next month on targets connected with plans for an expanded Communist Party penetration program.IV. PERFORMANCE OF PRINCIPAL AGENTS IN TERMS OF PRODUCTION, SECURITY AND COVER.A. Oliver G. SCANTLING - As should be expected from a well trained and motivated agent, SCANTLING's production during the period under review was excellent. His production is in the category of operational information rather than positive intelligence and is based on leads and investigations given him by the Station. He never fails to do a thorough and detailed job on all assignments given to him. He is an unusually valuable *principal agent*. There have been no security problems or developments during the past year in connection with SCANTLING's assignments. Likewise, his cover is very good and places him in a position to maintain his work for KUBARK for many years to come.B. Raymond H. GERENDE - Since GERENDE's marriage in December 1958, his performance has improved to a marked degree. He has become one of the Station's most dependable agents in terms of promptness for meetings, completing operational assignments as rapidly as possible and in doing any task, regardless of how menial it may be. Insofar as the Station and GERENDE know, his cover with LISTERINE's firm has held up very well. In fact, GERENDE recently was able to negotiate a sales contract with a customer having a very large sales capacity for the product manufactured by LISTERINE's firm. This, of course, endears GERENDE to LISTERINE in addition to contributing to GERENDE's cover employment. The only significant security incident pertaining, in part, to GERENDE was in connection with LIENTRAP (please see HMMA-13951, 16 October 1959, for details).C. Simon D. CLACKETT - CLACKETT's performance has definitely measured up to the standards expected by the Station. He has proved that he is conscientious, dependable and very quick in grasping the details of clandestine activities. He will undoubtedly continue to improve his personal performance asSECRET/

SECRETA- 7-he gains more experience. There have been no security problems or incidents in connection with CLACKETT's assignment to this Station. Although the notional cover provided by Headquarters has held up very well during the past few months, the Station had hopes of placing him in LILABEL's firm and obtaining Inmigrante papers for him. However, for reasons mentioned in other correspondence, this cover arrangement did not work out. The Station is continuing efforts to locate another suitable local cover job for CLACKETT.V. CONTACT AND COMMUNICATION.A. Oliver G. SCANTLING - The Station Case Officer meets with SCANTLING on the average of three times each week. For regular meetings, a total of eight prearranged contact points are used alternately with SCANTLING "walking the beat" and being picked up by the Case Officer in the latter's car. This procedure enables both the agent and the case officer to check themselves and to check each other for possible surveillance. Meetings are generally of short duration, seldom more than 30 minutes, and are held in the car. It is possible for SCANTLING to get in touch with his case officer by telephone, and vice versa, in case an unscheduled meeting is necessary. SCANTLING and the Station are currently working on the details of an emergency means of contact utilizing SCANTLING's wife's relatives in PBPRIME. Headquarters will be advised of these arrangements to facilitate contact with SCANTLING in the event Mexico is overrun by hostile forces and contact with the Station is severed,B. Raymond H. GERENDE - GERENDE's Case Officer meets with him five times each week. Meetings are conducted in the Case Officer's car using the same procedures as outlined above. GERENDE and his Case Officer have a total of 11 contact points in different areas of the city and generally hold their meetings during the early morning hours, usually about 0800. As in the case of SCANTLING, GERENDE and his Case Officer are preparing an emergency contact procedure which will facilitate Headquarters communications with him through his relatives in PBPRIME Headquarters will be advised of these arrangements just as soon as they are completed.C. Simon D. CLACKETT - The Station Case Officer meets with CLACKETT on the averageof three times each week. The same type of communications pro- cedures as used for SCANTLING and GERENDE are employed with CLACKETT.VI. PERSONNEL,A.. Personnel dropped from the Project:1.

3 February 1959MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, FI/OPSFROM : Chief, WHDSUBJECT : LIETTY Project1. Reference is made to your comments on the LINFTY Project which was approved on 16 January 1959.2. The LIFTY Project provides for the development of the former LIJERSEY surveillance team, the maintenance of photo surveillance bases, and other support facilities for the Mexico City Station. In their review of the Project before it was approved, FI/OPS suggested that WI! Division consider a gradual reduction of the considerable financial and personnel commitments in this project in view of the favorably developing LIENVOY liaison relationship. FI/OPS believed that a amallar, more manageable support group with greater emphasis on selectivity of tasks and targets could well result in more effective CI and FI productivity..3. The Mexican desk wishes to point out that rather than reducing the assets carried under the LIETTY Froject, WID believes that this project is an extremely important one and should receive Headeuarters support. The only other Station surveillance teams, LIVESTOCK and LISPRACE, are both known to the Mexican authorities. Therefore LISTTY remains the Station's only secure surveillance asset. It is a very small untrained unit at present, but through this project it will be developed into a useable, valuable asset.4. We are not passing FI/OP's comment to the field, because WH Division: believes that unilateral assots should not 'e reduced in favor of liaison. First, the liaison has not yet been firmly established. Secondly, even with a good liaison relationship, the Mexican services must be considered anything but secure, and certainly could not be trusted with any sensitive operations. Thirdly, because of its proximity to the United States, and the activity of hostile intelligence groups there, the Mexico City Station is called upon to support many very sensitive operations which we would never wish to reveal to the Mexican authoritios.5. Experience in other latin
[104-10187-10014.pdf — page 265]
Page 25. Experience in other latin American countries where liaison has been established, has shown that many Station's tend to reduce their unilateral operations and capabilities in favor of the liaison. Under these circumstances, the production of the Stations have often been at the mercy of the liaison service and a change in the attitude of the service toward cooperating with this Agency has left these Stations virtually helpless. We certainly cannot recommend that the Mexico Station reduce any of it's unilateral support assets in favor of a proposed liaison relationship.J. C.

# DISPATCHTO: Chief of Station, Mexico CityFROM: Chief, whDSUBJECT: Operational/LIC-PTY Project Approval1.  The Field Project Outline submitted with HCA-11257 was approved on 16 January 1959 without change, for the period 1 December 1958 through 30 November 1959 for a total of $95,330; $65,580 for the current fiscal year and $29,800 for fiscal year 1960.2.  An amendment to the original request for project approval we.s submitted before the original project was approved. This amendment requested approval to include Simon D. CLACKET? (ps) and Wilma J. FIORDALISI (ps) under the LIFTY Project effective 1 January 1959 and remove them fron the LIMESA Project. The funds designated in the original FPO for the undesignated Staff Agent were used to cover the expenses for CLACKETT and FIORDALISI. Therefore no additional funds were requested for the project in this spendment. The approval on 16 January 1959 included tis project amendment. A copy of the amendment request is being forwarded for your information and records.3.  Among the Staffs' comments on the LIEIFTY Project, the following recommendations were made. KUDEK suggested that the Case Officer should work at devising ostensible sources of incomes for the agents which will stand the scrutiny of friends, relatives and less friendly forces.4.  An amendment to CLACKETT's contract has been requested to allow for a quarters allowance. The educational allowance requested in paragraph 11 of the project amendment was disapproved because CLACKETT was a Contract Agent. The Quarters Allowance of $2,500 was turned down because it was too high in relation to CLACKETT'a salary. Therefore, a quarters allowance of $1,800 has been approved and will be written into CLACKSTI"s contract. If, however, operational and cover reasons require CLACKETI to rent an apartment larger than the one he would normally obtain under his allowance, the Chief of Station can authorize the extra rent as an operational expense which will rot be considered as compensation for CLACKETT and therefore not subject to federal income tax.5.  Please advise Headquarters whether you wish to have the cryptonyms for CLACKSTT and FIORDALISI charged to LIEPTY's.OLIVER G.
