CONTINUATION OF DISPATCHSECRETHICU-260273. ACCOMPLISHMENTS, PROGRESS, AND ACHIEVEMENTS.Throughout the reporting period, Project LIBERTY continued to produce the majority of the operational photographs used in Station Mexico City's KUBARK operations against the LIMERICK target. This coverage has proved to be a reliable and viable tool for: following the daily movements of the LIMERICK personnel: providing and confirming identities of LIMERICK staffers and their visitors; and verifying the relative rank and positions as well as the intelligence service connections of various LIMERICK officers. Specific examples of the contributions of each LIBERTY Project component to the fulfillment of the Related Mission Directive, as approved for Mexico City Station, follows:a) LIENTRAP - Throughout the reporting period, the LIETRAP mobile photo- graphic unit was targeted extensively against the leaders and installations of the Partido Comunista Mexicano, the Partido Popular Socialista, and other exile or visiting communist leaders. In mid-April 1965, the LIENTRAP unit provided an up-to-date photograph of ESLIME-1 which was passed to a visiting KUBARK staffer for his use in the recruitment attempt of ESLIME-1. Not only did this photograph serve as a means of identifying the target for the recruiter, but also served as bona fides for the recruiter during the successful recruitment of this communist/exile guerrilla. (See reference C. for details.) Overall, the LIENTRAP unit produced 49 rolls of 35 mm film which will be or have been used in support of planned recruitment attempts, and in providing identifications, locations or contacts of various targets of interest.b) LICALLA - During the period under review, the LICALLA installation pro- vided photographic coverage of the garden and patio area of the LIMERICK installation, where many of the personnel congregate. In this effort, LIETTY-9, the LICALLA basehouse keeper provided 52 rolls of 35mm still photographs which were most useful to the Station in determining or con- firming the intelligence service affiliation of various LIMERICK staffers by their constant association and conversations with other known intelli- gence officers. In addition, LICALIA provided special physical surveillance reports on all deliveries made to the LIMERICK installation, the presence of suspect audio technicians, and the changes in the patterns of activity of various LIMERICK personnel. On 23 March, Dudley R. GHASTER, KURIOT specialist, entered LICALLA for an on-site survey in support of a sensitive technical operation being planned by the Station and Headquarters. (See reference A, paragraph 3, e. and reference D. for details.)c) LIMITED - During the reporting period, LIMITED provided 57 rolls of operational film and daily surveillance reports covering the arrival and departure of LIMERICK personnel and visitors at the front gate of the LIMERICK installation during the afternoon and evening hours. In addition, LEEMPTY-6, the LIMITED basehouse keeper, served as the fixed radio dispatch base for five LIEMBRACE surveillance operations covering known or suspect LIMERICK intelligence officers or their contacts. Because of the protective security provided to the LIMERICK installation by local "Services" it would be impossible to provide LIEMBRACE surveillance of LEERICK staffers without the LIMITED radio dispatching. LIMITED (as well as LILYRIC) also provided confirmation of the visit of subject of reference E (a PEPINDER in contact with a LIMERICK intelligence officer) to the LIMERICK installation. (See reference E. for details.)d) LILYRIC - During the period covered by the report, LILYRIC produced 73 rolls of operational film covering the comings and goings of LIMERICK personnel and visitors to that installation during the morning and early afternoon hours. In addition, LICOTY-14, the LILYRIC basehouse keeper, provided approximately 500 pages of physical surveillance reports, covering the movements of LIMERICK personnel.e. Oliver G. SCANTLING: SCANTLING was married in mid-February and honeymooned until late March; consequently, SCANTLING was "out of action" for approximately one-half of the reporting period. During the remainder of this period, however, SCANTLING continued as the alternate contact of LICASA-1, the principal agent in the LICASA LAURICLE operation, as well continuing to handle the PERUMLI access agent he had recruited in January 1965 (See reference A, paragraph 3). In addition, at headquarters' request, SCANTLING re-ceased the United Arab Republic Embassy in support of a sensitive operation now in the planning stage.
