In February 1972 an apartment became available in the same building complex which houses the KDABSINTHE installation. Through the cooperation of KDABBEY-1, we were able quictly to rent the apartment and install elements of the KDCALVERT team as residents. This location affords as good, if not better, vantage point for continuing photo coverage in the event the present KDABSINTHE location become's untenable. We are also exploring alternate locations for KDLITERAL to solve the problem we face with this element of KDFACTOR coverage (see below).PROBLEMS11. The only known problem connected with the project is a product of mother nature which is threatening the effectiveness of KDLITERAL coverage. Approximately two years ago MHHARSH personnel planted eight small trees along the edge of the terrace leading to the garden. These trees have flourished and now have grown to the point where KDFACTOR-2, the KDLITERAL operator, estimates he only has a year more of effective operational capability. We are studying ways of solving this problem and will forward a separate dispatch to Headquarters on the topic in the near future.FINANCES12.

The KDFACTOR Project continued throughout the past six months to support two visual and photographic surveillance points (KDLITERAL and KDABSINTHE) directed against the MHHARSH installation.## ADMINISTRATION2.  Howard T. BAGAUS handled the administration of the project until early April 1971 when project responsibility reverted from the Ops Support Section back to the REDTOP Section. At that time Timothy H. ARCHEOLD assumed the inside administrative chores, and agent meetings were turned over to the outside case officer Bruce H. FERNALD who had previously handled the assets. When ARCHBOLD departed PCS on 7 June 1971, Oliver J. MANKUNAS assumed his responsibilities. MANKUNAS also took over agent meetings when FERNALD left on home leave on 25 June and will continue to handle the project assets in the future.3.  Processing of the photo product is now accomplished inside the Station by Phemia B, CHAUVEAU, KDFACTOR-1, who formerly did all the processing in an outside safehouse/darkroom, was terminated amicably in early March 1971, and at that time the responsibility was turned over to CHAUVEAU. The new arrangement has proven to be more than satisfactory. Agent meetings have now been cut to a minimum, and the processing of the product and delivery to the consumer has been speeded up considerably.## PERSONNEL4.

# DISPATCHChief, Western Hemisphere DivisionChief of Station, Mexico CityKDFACTOR/KDVAULT- Expense Credit for KDABBEY Refunds of MEXI-03 Rents1.  Upon reviewing Station's Obligation Status Reports from Headquarters, it has been noted that there apparently have been no credits entered for KDABBEY's not rent refunds on MEXI-032.  MEXI-03 is owned by JKLANCE, with KDABEY as the ostensible owner. Each month the Station gives the occupant of Units #11, 13, 15 and 17 of MEXI-03 their rent for the month in advance, which they then pay to KDADDY's agent. Originally this agent was KOVAULT/2, who was witting of the rental arrangement and neither received nor paid rent on Unit #11, which he occupied. Since his termination in April 71, Unit #11 has been occupied by KDVAULT/9, who is not witting of the arrangement. The current occupancy and rent structure for MEXI-03 is:| UNIT # | OCCUPANT | MONTHLY RENTAL | PROJECT CHARGED || - - - - | - - - - - - - - - | - - - - - - - - - - - - | - - - - - - - - - - - - || 11 | KDVAULT/9 | 1,700.00 | KDVAULT || 13 | KDVAULT/3 | 1,650.00 | KDVAULT || 15 | KDFACTOR/2 | 1,430.00 | KDFACTOR || 17 | KDVAULT/5 | 1,540.00 | KOVAULT |3.  At the end of each quarter, KDABDEY submits to the Station an accounting recording the rents received on the four units of MEXI-03, and the expenses incurred for property taxes, rent receipt stamp taxes, municipal water charges, maintenance and repairs, and similar items during the quarter. The difference between the rents paid to and the expenses incurred by KDARDLY as ostensible owner of MEXI-03, is refunded to the Station by KDABBEY with the quarterly accounting....continuedDistribution: Orig & 2 - Chief, WII DivisionHEMT 11016S-E-C-R-E-T16 July 19717

When ronthly rents are paid to KOVAULT/3, 5 and 9 and   KACACTOR/2, they are corned to the appropriate project and   catered in a KDABBEY memorandum Account. When KDABBEY's refund   is recoived, it is recorded as a credit to expense pro-rated   between KDOVAULT and KPCTOR, and the Homo Account is cleared.5. The vouchers recording expense credits from KDABBEY   reat refunds for FY 1971 (with one more refund to be made) are:   You. 106.14, 28 Get 70 (July-Sept); Vou. 1103, 12 Jan 71 (Oct-   Dec); and Vou. 11575, 19 May 71 (Jan-Apr).6.

The KDFACTOR Project continued throughout the period to support two visual and photographic surveillance points (KDLITERAL and KDABSINTH) directed against the MHHARSH installation and to support the related photo processing of the product.2.  The Station is presently taking steps to terminate KDFACTOR-1 the photo processor and move this phase of the operation into the Station.3.  Primary responsibility for the operational and administrative handling of Project KDFACTOR was transferred on 1 December 1970 to the Operational Support Section, and handling of the KDFACTOR personnel was turned over to Howard T. BAGAUS on 2 December 1970.## MEETING ARRANGEMENTS4.  KDFACTOR-5: This agent is met by BAGALS at 0800 each Tuesday morning at one of four different sites near the Anillo Periferico in Polanco, some three miles from the Station. The modus operandi used with this agent is basically the same as previously used by Bruce H. FERNALD.

# CONTINUATION OF DISPATCH## SECRETΗΜΜΑ-39679## ASSIGNMENTS/PRODUCTION7. During the period of this report, LIEMPTY-4 processed approximately 142 rolls of 36-exposure film. Roughly one-third comes from LICALLA and the remainder from LILYRIC which commands the better view and more trafficked approach. In addition to this routine workload, LIEMPTY-4 was called upon frequently for additional prints and enlargement of special targets or interest.8. LIEMPTY-9 (LICALLA), in addition to his picture-taking (perched for seven hours daily atop a ladder arrangement to see above the heightened garden wall), regularly provides a detailed "attendance sheet" and a monthly summary of MHHARSH personnel activities. The photos are an indispensible tool in the day- to-day REDTOP operations program, providing photo identifications of PCS and TDY MHHARSHers and assisting to determine probable RIS affiliation based on observed associations within the compound. The detailed "attendance sheet" helps in keeping track of MHHARSHers present, their patterns and changes in pattern of activities. This information is often the principal tool in PERAMPART activitics, assisting in identifying the probable MHHARSH contacts of double agents despatched to the MHHARSH installation.9. Following are some sample requiremerts which were levied on LIEMPTY-9 during the reporting period:a. weekly reports of work being dore at the installation by YERSHOV and PANOV (DIRECTOR 025386), TDY construction workers since May 1970.b. special reports on the activities of AEMERGER who was under the microscope prior to home eave departure in July 1970.c. reports on the activities and associations of Mikhail Vasilyevich UMNOV (201-819913), TDY AMTORG representative from New York who is of JKLANCE and LNERGO interest.d. watch for the arrival of Viktor Nikitovich KRESOV, AEKICK officer of Executive Action Department.e. confirm arrival and provide details of activities and associations of Subject of 201-866272 (Moble ANGUS), LNERGO/LNREAD double agent.f. special report on AETURNKEY throughout the period. (LIEMPTY-9 is given a target for concentrated coverage and reporting over a two or three month period at a time.)10. LILYRIC was provided with the same requirements as LICALLA (paragraph 9 a-e, above), LILYRIC is the main source of license plate and automobile information both on MHHARSHers and on visitors to the installation, and has a standing requirement to report by phone the arrivals of all obviously WOCORK citizens. One such individual, who now visits regularly, has been tentatively identified as the language instructor of the MHHARSH Ambassador's son and a potential lead which we will investigate.## CHANGES11. Effective 1 July 1970, all of the agents of the Project received salary increases (HMMA-39548, 10 October 1970) for a net increase of $2,184.00 U/S/D per year.12.

The value of the Project for both REDTOP and other Station operations has been well documented over a long period of time. There have been no recent additions or changes in either personnel or basehouse properties and none is contemplated.

# DISPATCHTO:Chief, WH DivisionINFO:Chief, SB DivisionFROM:Chief of Station, Mexico CitySUBJECT:LIEMPTY Project Operational Report, 26 March - 30 June 1970ACTION REQUIRED-REFERENCES:References: A. HMMA-38700, 25 March 1970B. HMMW-17950, 12 June 19701. With the termination of Raymond H. GERENDE, effected on 26 June 1970 and described in HMMA-39129, 29 June 1970, the LIEMPTY Project now consists of the operations of the LICALLA and LILYRIC photo base houses and the photo processing of LIEMPTY-4. Outside case officer Bruce H. FERNALD handles all agents, normally on a once per week basis, and passes the take to his Station contact. Operational funds are passed to FERNALD by his Station contact, and FERNALD pays all agent salaries, rents, and other expenses. The elimination of GERENDE has resulted in some loss of efficiency, since base house personnel cannot regularly be met as frequently as in the past. This can mean a delay of up to two weeks in receipt by the Station of photos. However, LILYRIC and LICALLA personnel have standing requirements to report by telephone visits of Americans, and they are also alerted in advance whenever possible to forthcoming TDYS of MHHARSH visitors, so that arrangements can be made for special meetings and speedy processing of photos. Normally, all photos are developed and printed by LIEMPTY-4. When speed is of the essence, however, negatives are sent into the Station for processing by the WOACRE technician. Thus, while GERENDE's loss is a serious one in certain respects (he was, on the local scene, talented, knowledgeable, and experienced), LIEMPTY production has not suffered greatly.Attachment:1.
