SECRETMEMORANDUM FOR: Chief of Operations, DD/PSUBJECT: LIEMPTY (Renewal)WH - Mexico CityDD/P2-02141. The attached project, originating in WH Division, is presented for renewal for the period 1 December 1961 through 30 November 1962. This project provides for physical and photographic surveillance operations in support of Mexico City Station operations, particularly those directed against Soviet personnel and installations.2. Authority is requested to obligate $44,500 from the DD/P-WH Division budget: $24,500 in fiscal year 1962, and $20,000 in fiscal year 1963 subject to the availability of funds. This estimate includes $139,500 for salaries of three contract agents and eleven indigenous agents; $20,500 for operational expenses, including QP vehicle operation and maintenance, new safehouse procurement, post office boxes, purchase of information, and rental of vehicles; $1,300 for repair, maintenance, and replacement of photographic equipment; and $2,500 for maintenance of three safehouses.3. The attached request for renewal discusses project activities in the past period. Contract Agent Oliver G. SCANTLING (p), serving as an investigator, has continued to follow up on leads developed from other operations; has been the primary source of information on residences of Soviet Embassy personnel; has provided investigative information on several cases of CI interest; and has trained surveillance assets in Monterrey. He also handled the LIMBO surveillance team during the time Contract Agent Simon V. SLADICH (p) was absent from Mexico. The project segment under the direction of Contract Agent Raymond H. GIBBLE (p) continued to collect operational information on the Soviet Embassy through photographic surveillance; and to provide operational supportSECRET50-6-74/1

SECRETto the Station in the form of rental of sate-quarters, counter- surveillance, and procuring and servicing letter drops. The Division reels that both aspects of the project are worthwhile to the Station's activities. It considers that the project is now operating at optimum size and does not plan to expand. In the coming period efforts will be made to refine and better use the existing organizational arrangements.4. Appropriate Special Staff elements recommend renewal of this project.5.

21 November 1961LIEMPTY Project Renewal Request1.  It is requested that the LIEMPTY Project be renewed for the period 1 December 1962 through 30 November 1963 for a total of $49,500; $29,500 for Fiscal Year 1962 and $20,000 for Fiscal Year 1963. These amounts can be broken down as follows:|                       | FY 1962 | FY 1963 || --------------------- | ------- | ------- || Salaries              | 24,000  | 15,500  || Transportation        | 1,100   | 900     || Operational Expenses  | 3,900   | 3,100   || Operational Equipment | 500     | 500     || Totals                | 29,500  | 20,000  |2. It is not anticipated that any training will be required during the next project year.3. Emergency recontact instructions for Raymond H. GERENDE and Oliver G. SCANTLING are on file at Headquarters.4. This project is primarily a support asset and does not provide positive intelligence.5. WH Division strongly recommends renewal of this project which covers some of the most valuable investigative and support assets available to Mexico City Station.

# SECRET/Review of Project LIEMPTY(For the Purpose of Project Renewal)I. CURRENT OBJECTIVES AND PRODUCTIONA. Oliver G. SCANTLING Segment (discussed in relation to project objectives):1.  "To collect operational information pertaining to LIMERICK personnel and physical facilities." SCANTLING has continued (See the last two Project Reviews forwarded as attachments to HMMA-14093, 13 November 1959, and HMMA-15979, 18 November 1960) to provide worthwhile information pertaining to this objective.a. During the past year SCANTLING has continued to be used to follow up leads produced by LIENVOY. For example, operational information recently indicated that the LIMERICK target was using the services of a Mexico City firm to repair safes. Through discreet investigation SCANTLING was able to identify the firm, its location and the name of the owner in the event that we later wished to make an approach to him or to exploit this information in another manner.b. SCANTLING is still the Station's primary source for keeping current records on the residences of the many LIMERICK personnel in Mexico City. This is accomplished in several ways; the most important being SCANTLING's follow up of all LIENVOY leads which indicate the LIMERICK people are interested in renting a given piece of property. (See previous project renewal request for additional details).2. "To collect operational information pertaining to other targets of opportunity, foreign official installations and personnel of intelligence interest operating in Mexico." SCANTLING is very useful for collecting information on other Station targets:
[104-10187-10014.pdf — page 218]
SECRET/OR-2-a. On the basis of a request to the Station from the ODACID Chief, SCANTLING was sent to Puebla to be an eyewitness to the 4 June 1961 Catholic inspired anti-CASTRO demonstrations. Not only did SCANTLING obtain the desired Information, and samples of many of the leaflets used, but he prepared his report for the Station in time for the COS to give the ODACID Chief a briefing at 1000 hrs., 5 June 1961. SCANTLING does an excellent job on this type of assignment due principally to his ability to observe and report objectively.b. SCANTLING was instrumental in establishing that Fernando LLANES Cavero and his wife were living at a local Mexico City address. This case has been of considerable counterespionage interest to Headquarters.c. SCANTLING has continued his contributions to the Paul Frederick KIRSCHHOFF case by periodic interviews with the subject's neighbors and associates,3. "To exploit operational leads through recruitments, debriefings, and surveillances." SCANTLING has contributed to this objective both directly and indirectly as will be noted by the examples listed below:a, SCANTLING devoted a lot of time to the surveillance and attempted recruitment of Abel ARTEAGA, a Mexican national employed at the Cuban Embassy. SCANTLING talked with ARTEAGA several times and undoubtedly was primarily responsible for the later success of the recruitment made by another Station agent.b. Some additional time was devoted to the Cesar GONZALEZ Sanchez case in February 1961 when SCANTLING determined that GONZALEZ was still in Mexico City. Sce the last renewal for additional details on this case,c. In connection with the above objective SCANTI.ING has performed numerous pretext and neighborhood investigations for the Station, SCANTLING also does most of the local investigations requested by ODACID and other ODYOKE components,SECRET/K
[104-10187-10014.pdf — page 219]
SECRET/OK-3-d. SCANTLING spent six weeks during July andAugust of this year giving tradecraft and surveillancetraining to LIPAILS 5 and 7 from Monterrey. Althoughthis is not a direct contribution to the above objective, itis considered sufficiently related to mention here.4. In addition to his contributions to the above objectives,   SCANTLING is used for miscellaneous support requirements from the   Station. For example, SCANTLING is now handling LIEMBROIL-2 and   will continue to do so until the return of LIMOTOR-14 in June 1962. Also,   during the past project year, SCANTLING handled the LIRICE surveillance   team until July 1961 when Simon D. CLACKETT (ps) returned to Mexico   City. SCANTLING is also used to spot and rent safe houses and apartments   for other Station operations.5. As stated in the preceeding Requests for Project Renewal,   although SCANTLING'S LIEMPTY Project objectives can never be completely   fulfilled, It. is the Station's opinion that SCANTLING has made important and   valuable contributions to LIEMPTY Project objectives specifically and to   other Station activities in general, SCANTLING's production, measured   against monetary expenditures, case officer time and other intangible factors,   unquest lonably justifies his continuation as an integral part of Project   LIEMPTY.B. Raymond H. GERENDE Segment (discussed in relation to projectobjectives):1. "To collect operational information pertaining to LIMERICK   personnel and physical facilities through use of photographic base houses."   Three photographic bases, LIMITED, LILYRIC and LICALLA, contribute   to this objective. To avoid repetition, the Station is omitting the usual   description of the functions of these three bases and how they contribute   to the above objective. There has been no change in the coverage as   described in the 1960 Request for Project Renewal.2. "To collect operational information and identify operational   leads pertaining to Station targets of opportunity." The LIENTRAP   operation, handled by GERENDE, is still the major contributor to thisSECRET/YK
[104-10187-10014.pdf — page 220]
SECRET/-4-objective. In addition to performing numerous photographic assignmentsin support of other Station operations, LIENTRAP devoted nearly fourmonths, on a fulltime basis, to coverage of the LIERODE operation. Forseveral weeks the entire "take" from the LIERODE target was recordedfrom the LIENTRAP vehicle. Later, the LIENTRAP agents operated theLIERODE technical gear from the initial LIERODE stationary base.3. "To provide operational support to Station operations, i. e.,   rent hotel rooms and apartments, and conduct counter-surveillances."   GERENDE is used frequently to rent hotel rooms and apartments for other   Station operations and activities. GERENDE's comprehensive area   knowledge and personal operational capabilities combine to make him an   extremely valuable Station asset for such support activities, GERENDE   also procures and services post office box letter drops for the many   Station operations requiring them.4. The quality and quantity of operational information produced   by the photographic bases and other activities under GERENDE's control   and supervision is considered worthwhile. The Station concludes, therefore,   that this segment of the LIEMPTY Project should be continued,C. Relationship to Related Mission Directive Objectives:As stated in the previous project renewal, it can readily be notedthat Project LIEMPTY has provided support to many Station operations andin this manner has been a contributing factor to the furthereance of theRelated Mission Directive. The project has not produced any positiveintelligence nor has it been intended that it should do so. The project's solepurpose is to provide a mechanism for the development of operationalInformation in support of other Station operations.II. CHANGESThere have been no changes in the LIEMPTY Project during the past projectyear except that SCANTLING relinquished control of the LIRICE (formerly LIJERSEY)surveillance team in July 1961 in accordance with previous plans.SECRET/
