# DISPATCHTO Chief, WII Div IstonINFOFROM Chief of Station, Mexico CitySUBJECTO LIEMPTY Progress Report - Intothri Dec 1958ACTION MOひまつNone, for Head quarters in formation and files only,REFERENCES)SYNOPSIS OF DEVELOPMENTSDATE 4 February 19591. During the period covered by this report,ha new Case Officer, Quinton   N. OUSLER, assumed operational direction of several LIPSTICK assets (Oliver   G. SCANTLING, Raymond IH. GERENDE, LIMITED, LICALLA, LIENTRAP and   several support agents), the LIJERSEY surveillance team and the LILYRIC Base,   The Station has continued to use SCANTLING, primarily, to follow up LIMESA   leads obtained from LIFEAT and the photographic bases; however, no positive   returns have been realized from his prodigious efforts except the collection of a   considerable amount of operational information, GERENDE performed his princi-   pal a gent responsibilities for the photographic bases, LIENTRAP, LIJERSEY   and until 10 December 1958 handled the LIFEAT/BGMORNING and LIFEAT/   Cuban Exile operations. The LIJERSEY surveillance team has been used sparingly   for pretext investigations and routine stat ic surveillances; however, a principal agent,   Si mon D. CLACKETT, is currently being trained in Head quarters to assume the   full-time direction, control, training and development of the LIJERSEY team, The   new project, LIEMPTY, combining all the assets discussed in this report was   submitted to Headquarters on 8 October 1958 with requested project year approval   period from 1 December 1958 through 30 November 1959. An operational security   review of Raymond H. GERENDE's activities was forwarded to Head quarters as an   at tachment to HMMA-11368, 22 October 1958.ACCOUNT OF DEVELOPMENTS OLIVER G. SCANTLING SEGMENT2. Agent Information Oliver G. SCANTLING has continued to perform his   assigned tasks in an outstanding manner. SCANTLING's potse, common sense,   education, ideology and native abil ity for the pursuit of clandestine activities   make him one of the most valuable support assets available to the Mexico City   Station. The fact that SCANTLING has full time overt occupation as Chief   Engineer and Production Manager for a local manufacturing company adds to   his long-range potential as a KUBARK agent. On two occasions during the past   six months SCANTLING has indicated to his Case Officer that he would like to   resign from his overt position and devote full time to his KUBARK ope rational   duties; however, the Case Officer has discouraged him from doing this on the   basis that he has more long-range potential when his cover occupation is legitimate.   Of course, SCANTLING would be more valuable if he could work full time for the   Station, but not suffic lently so to warrant his resignation from his overt job (his   monthly salary in his overt job is in excess of $800.00 U. S.). The only   significant limitation that SCANTLING has evidenc ed to his present Ca se Officer   Is his occasional delay in prepar ing writt en reports of investigations and other   matters requiring reports for the files. However, this limitation gradually is   being overcome and it is expected that SCANTLING's reports will continue to   be fa ctual, comprehensive and soon will be promptly submit ted,3. Security Developments SCANTLING is constantly under a consider able   amount of exposure and pressure when following up LIMESA leads obtained from   LIFEAT and the photographic bases. Since time is always of the essence when   using such perishable leads, SCANTLING frequently is directed to make approaches   to individuals performing services for the LIME RICK target after routine, and   sometimes only carsory, investigation. The refore, the possibility always exists   of his entanglement in an undesirable security incident. This necessarily
