SECRET-3-1. "To collect operational information pertaining to LIMERICK personnel and physical facilities through the use of photographic base houses." This continuing objective is carried out by three photographic base houses, LIMITED, LILYRIC and LICALLA. During the project year, LIMITED produced approximately 3600 photographs and LILYRIC about 4500 pictures of individuals entering and leaving the LIMERICK target. Most of these photographs were of non-LIMERICK individuals of which only a small, but significant, percentage could be identified through license plate checks or other types of routine investi- gation. The LICALLA base produced approximately 4300 photographs during the year. Most of the LICALLA photographs were of LIMERICK employees and their families and have been of considerable value in maintaining current and accurate listings of LIMERICK personnel in Mexico. The LICALLA base has recently begun taking motion pictures of LIMERICK personnel conversing in the garden area. These movies are being forwarded to KUTUBE/D for the possible exploitation of lip reading analysis. The LIMITED base, in addition to its photographic assignment, is also used as the radio central for dispatching the LIEMBRACE surveillance team on LIMERICK personnel targets. All bases make routine reports on the daily attendance of LIMERICK employees at the installation which facilitates the Station's reporting on the arrival and departure of LIMERICK personnel, Also, the bases devote time to reporting the personal associations among the numerous LIMERICK employees. Some of this latter type information is valuable from the standpoint of confirming that LIMERICK intelligence officers have a tendency to associato with their colleagues.2. "To collect operational information and identify operational leads pertaining to Station targets of opportunity." This is a broad objective and one which is contributed to by the LIENTRAP operation. LIENTRAP is used to provide photographic coverage of important Station targets which do not justify a more permanent photographic base. During the period under review, LIENTRAP has been used for the timely coverage of various Central American exile group activities, the Confederacion de Trabajadores de la America Latina (CTAL) -headquarters, several counterespionage targets, the LITACIT and LITABBY targets and other one-time operations of intelligence interest. The operational information produced by LIENTRAP is used by the Station for increasing operational knowledge about a target and, when appropriate, has been incorporated in separate reports to Headquarters with other information about specific targets.3. "To provide operational support to Station operations, i. e., rent hotel rooms and apartments, and conduct counter-surveillances." GERENDE, because of his area knowledge and operational acumen, is used frequently by the Station for renting hotel rooms and apartments in fictitious names for use on other Station operations. He is also the Station's principal procurer of local Post Office boxes for use as letter drops. This objective pertains entirely to the operational support of other Station operations and is an invaluable ingredient to the security of important Station activities.SECRETAR
