SECRET-2-2. LILYRIC (MEXI-132) is a basehouse located near the front of the Soviet Embassy. This house has been in operation since October 1966. It is rented through LIMOUSINE (201-5762), a cleared American businessman. He is the ostensible owner of record and, as the landlord, collects rent from the tenants and then passes it to the Station case officer. LIEMPTY-13 and his family (seo paragraph 3 below) live in the LILYRIC house and conduct their surveillance operation from it during daylight hours (0800-1800).3. LIEMPTY-13 (201-119961) is the key member of the LILYRIC baschouse team. He maintains contact with tho principal agent and does some photographic work. Howover, because LIEMPTY-13 is employed outside as an industrial engineer, he is unable to spend much time operating the LILYRIC photographic equipmont, and most of this work is done by his wife, LIEMPTY-14, and their sons, LIEMPTY-26 and LIEMPTY-27 (see paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 bolow).4. LIEMPTY-14 (201-167567) is the main photographer and observer at the LILYRIC basehouse. She works closely with her husband, LIEMPTY-13, in running the operation, including the preparation of observation reports and logs. She also does the LILYRIC housekeeping, as any housewife would do.5. LIEMPTY-26 (201-762111), the son of LIEMPTY-13 and LIEMPTY-14, has been a student at the Mexican Technological Institute. In his spare time he operates the LILYRIC photo- graphic equipment, and helps LIEMPTY-14 in maintaining the arrival and departure logs of target personalities.6. LIEMPTY-27 (201-762112), another son of LIEMPTY-13 and LIEMPTY-14, has been a prep school student. Ho assists in operating the LILYRIC photographic equipment and tran- scribes notes into a finished typewritten log of events.7. LICALLA (MEXI-03) is a basehouse located behind the Soviet Embassy. It has been in operation since 1957. The building, a four-unit affair, collectively known as LIMUST, is Agency owned. It was purchased through LIMOUSINE in September 1957, and the property is in his name. The LICALLA site is occupied by LIEMPTY-9 (see paragraph 8 below) and he runs the surveillance operation from it.SECRET

SECRET-3-8. LIEMPTY-9 (201-136454) is the only agent operating from the LICALLA site. He does all the photography, maintains logs and prepares observation reports. He also maintains contact with the principal agent. LIEMPTY-9 is a part-time insurance salesman and is self-employed in the accounting business, which he conducts at the LICALLA site.9. Raymond H. GERENDE (201-119523) has been the principal agent for this project. He is a Mexican national contract agent who is self-employed as an English teacher and also works as a salesman for a light bulb manufacturer. GERENDE has been mainly responsible for maintaining contact with the LIEMPTY agents, passing instructions to them, and collecting the product for passing to the Station case officer. He has also paid them and handled all other administrative matters. He is being terminated by the end of FY 1970 for security reasons (see Problems, paragraph 1).10. Bruce H. FERNALD (P) (201-008189) replaced GERENDE (see paragraph 9 above) as the project's principal agent in early December 1969. FERNALD, a U.S. citizen born in June 1915, operates under non-official cover as a retired immigrant. He is responsible for maintaining contact with the LIEMPTY agents and collecting the product for passing to the Station case officer. He also handles administrative matters, including agent salary payments. FERNALD is financially covered under Project AEMAGNIFY.11. The LIEMPTY photographic laboratory (MEXI-137) is located in a room at GERENDE's residence. It is equipped to process the photographs taken by the LIEMPTY surveillance units. The work is done by LIEMPTY-4. (See paragraph 12 below). Since GERENDE will be terminated by the end of FY 1970, the Station is taking steps to establish a new LIEMPTY photographic laboratory at a new safesite.12. LIEMPTY-4 (201-117967) processes all the photographic film taken by the LIEMPTY photographers and makes the number of prints required. He does this work at night in the LIEMPTY photographic laboratory. He is self-employed as a medical doctor, and he is a brother-in-law of GERENDE, in whose home the laboratory is located.

Changes:1.  The LIENTRAP mobile unit, consisting of LIEMPTY-10 and LIEMPTY-11, is being removed from Project LIEMPTY and placed under Project LIEMBRACE, which supports a unilateral physical surveillance team. The purpose of this change is to increase the size of the LIEMBRACE team in order to meet a growing demand for operational surveillance support from the various Station operating sections. The transfer w111 become effective at the beginning of FY 1971 and both FY 1971 project budgets have been adjusted to cover financial aspects of the change.2.  Raymond H. GERENDE was removed as the LIEMPTY principal agent in early December 1969 owing to a security problem (sec Problems, paragraph 1). He was replaced on 9. December 1969 by Bruce H. FERNALD, a career agent oper- ating under cover as a retired immigrant. The change has caused some delay in the receipt of photographs because FERNALD is unable to meet LIEMPTY agents as frequently as GERENDE had met them, but operational effectiveness is not significantly reduced by this delay. The key issue is that security and reliability of the principal agent have improved considerably.Accomplishments:1.  Project LIEMPTY has provided continuous daily photographic and visual coverage (Monday through Saturday) of the front entrance and rear areas of the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. All Soviet personnel and their visitors entering or leaving the Embassy have been photographed. In addition, visual surveillance reports were prepared when appropriate. These photographs and reports have contributed essential operational support to the Station's Soviet oper- ations program.2.  Recently, LIEMPTY photographs were exclusively used to produce an updated mugbook on Soviet officials in Mexico. The book has been loaned to the FBI, AF/OSI and the 902nd Military Intelligence Group for operational use in debriefing their agents engaged in dangle operations and double agent operations against the Soviet services in Mexico City. One 902nd controlled agent was identified from an LIEMPTY photo- graph taken when the agent tried to contact the Soviets at
[104-10187-10014.pdf — page 41]
SECRET-5-the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. Similarly, an AF/OSIcontrolled agent scheduled to meet a Soviet contact wasunable to do so owing to illness, but LIEMPTY photographedanother person who appeared at the meeting site and thisperson is believed to be the agent's Soviet case officer.Such coverage has been helpful to the 902nd, AF/OSI andthe FBI in running their controlled double agent operationsagainst the Soviets in Mexico.3. Within one week after a biannual change of license   plates on Soviet Embassy vehicles, LIEMPTY had provided a   complete list of the new tag numbers, along with a complete   identification of the vehicles. Among other things, this   enabled the Station to identify the companions of Aleksandr   Aleksandrovich NIKITIN, a known KGB officer, during his   last few days in Moxico.4. LIEMPTY has also determined that newcomers to the   Soviet Embassy frequently gravitate to groupings with their   RIS colleagues in the "safety" of the Embassy backyard.   This fact enabled the Station to make certain tentative   KGB and GRU identifications. In addition, certain TDYers   have been linked up with their escort officers and clues   to personal relationships have occasionally been exploited.5. In the field of Soviet patterns of activity and   associations, LIEMPTY has been able to report accurate   changes in certain specific cases. LIEMPTY coverage showed   that NIKITIN, mentioned in paragraph 3 above, changed his   activity pattern following the defection of Raisa   Yerofeyevna KISELNIKOVA, former secretary in the Commercial   Mission in Mexico. The same applies to Oleg NECHIPORENKO,   a Second Secretary at the Embassy and a known KGB officer.   LIEMPTY also provided information on the patterns and   associations of Yuriy Viktorovich KUPLYAKOV, a known KGB   officer and on Valeriy Vladimirovich SOKOLIN, a known GRU   officer. Coverage of Vladimir Viktorovich GORDEYEV, a   suspect KGB officer, showed that he did, in fact, work in a   "restricted area" at the Soviet Embassy and also established   who some of his associates were. In the case of Oleg   Konstantinovich IGNATYEV, who had arrived in Mexico City   from Caracas, Venezuela, LIEMPTY was able to observe   IGNATYEV entering and leaving in the company of Svyastoslav   Fedorovich KUZNETSOV, Press Attache and First Secretary of   the Soviet Embassy. IGNATYEV also visited the Soviet EmbassySECRET
[104-10187-10014.pdf — page 42]
several other times during his stay in Mexico City andhad contact with other known Soviet intelligence officerswhile visiting. This kind of information is a basiccontribution to the Station's continuing efforts toidentify and assess certain Soviets for possiblerecruitment or defection.6. At Headquarters, the Soviet Bloc Division uses   LIEMPTY photographs, particularly photographs of Soviet   Embassy officials, for identification purposes in con-   nection with defector cases. The LIEMPTY material also   keeps the Station's Soviet section up-to-date on which   Soviet officers have been in the Embassy, which ones have   been away; who has used which car; who has been in contact   with whom; and other similar information useful in the   conduct of Soviet operations.Problems:1. A security problem has developed involving   Raymond II. GERENDE. According to GERENDE, his wife wants   a divorce, apparently based mainly on incompatability of   personalities. The problem basically is that both want   custody of the children and this has sparked a dispute   that has become more bitter and violent daily. In addition,   the monetary settlement is in dispute. The problem is   compounded by the fact that GERENDE's wife knows in some   considerable detail of GERENDE's activities on behalf of   the Agency. Thus, if the case does go to court, it could   lead to the surfacing of GERENDE's Agency employment and   possible compromise of LILYRIC, LICALLA and LIENTRAP.   Even if the case does not go to court, GERENDE's wife could   expose him as an Agency employee. Since late 1969, Mexico   City Station has been in touch with both GERENDE and his   wife on this problem, and every effort is being made by   the Station to have both parties settle the divorce out of   court, and to protect GERENDE's cover and that of the   project. After weighing all factors, it has been decided   that continued employment of GERENDE is not an acceptable   risk, and the decision has been reached to terminate him   by the end of FY 1979. GERENDE will be paid a termination   bonus of $10,000 for 15 years service, about $1,250 more   than the $8,750 his contract calls for, in order to ensure   that the termination is amicable and thereby preserve

SEGET-7-project security. In addition, his wife, LIEMPTY-19 willbe given $2,500 as a security measure designed to keep herfrom revealing what she knows about project operations.The FY 1970 budget is being amended to cover this amount..2. Other aspects of security continue relatively   unchanged. All the agents still have jobs to backstop   their Agency wages. The Station is compartmented from   the action agents through FERNALD, whose contact with the   sub-agents is reasonably well covered by his status as a   retired immigrant. FERNALD has been meeting LIEMPTY-9 and   LITEMPY-13 since 9 December 1969. Brief meetings are held   once each week at pre-arranged times and places, well away   from the target area. Occasionally emergency meetings are   called, by phone, if special coverage is desired. FERNALD   also meets LIEMPTY-4 to exchange films and prints. These   meetings are held weekly at pre-arranged times and places.   FERNALD can change meeting plans by calling LIEMPTY-4   directly by telephone. In addition, LIEMPTY-4 has been   given a special extension in the Station through which he   may call as "Dr. Carios" to leave a message for "Victor"   (FERNALD). The Station case officer maintains weekly clan-   destine contact with FERNALD in order to manage the oper-   ation and collect the product.Coordination:Ambassador McBride has not been briefed on ProjectLIEMPTY.Future Plans:1. The surveillance units are expected to continue to   produce valuable information in the form of photographic   coverage and visual surveillance reports on the daily   movements, personal associations, and habit patterns of   persons frequenting the Soviet Embassy, including Soviet   officials. Operational procedures and the project mecha-   nism will continue as it has in the past, except that Bruce   H. FERNALD, a new principal agent, will be in charge of the   operation (see Changes, paragraph 2).2. The Project does not include an up-dated plan for   emergency contact during violent action or government over-   throw. The Station has been requested to prepare an up-   dated emergency contact plan and submit it to Headquarters   in the first FY 1971 quarterly progress report.SECRET

The aim is to identify and cover the movements of persons entering and leaving the Embassy, including Soviets and visitors. The intelligence collected through such activity contributos to the Station's overall Soviet operations program, mainly in support of Priority A-1, but to some extent, Priority A-4, of the Operating Directive for Mexico.Description:1.  The Project operates through two fixed basehouse surveillance posts, a small photographic laboratory, a principal agent, and six sub-agents. A team of four sub- agents, operating from a basehouse, maintains visual and photographic surveillance of the Soviet Embassy front entrance. Ono sub-agent, operating from a second base- house, covers an area in back of the Embassy, where Soviet officials meet, play and work. These units photograph all persons moving in or out of the specific target areas. They also maintain logs and provide written reports on observed activity. All of this material is passed to the principal agent, who passes the film to another sub-agent for proces- ing at a laboratory equipped for that purpose. After the film is processed and printed, the principal agent passen the finished product, plus written reports and logs, to the Station case officer.

2. LILYRIC (MEXI-132) is a basehouse located near the front of the Soviet Embassy. This house has been in operation since October 1966. It is rented through LIMOUSINE (201-5762), a cleared American businessaan. Ho is the ostensible owner of record and, as the landlord, collects rent from the tenants and then passes it to the Station case officer.
