3. The Station also used the LIONION photographic coverage and log to check on the reports of Mexican and other JKLANCE assets who claimed to have visited the Cuban Embassy. In the case of some assets, LIONION/1 was given a photograph of the agent and told to be particularly alert at cortain times of certain days to confirm the agent's entry and exit. This proved particularly useful in checking AVDIME/I's story of contact with the Cubans. It also confirmed LIRELIC/1's visit to the Cuban Embassy at an early stage in Station recontact with LIRELIC/1.## Problems:1. No agent control or operational problems have been reported. Noither were there any security problems encountered during the period. LIONION/1 was mot in a satohouso on an average of once por week by Andrew E. PELLEMENT, in alias. Following PELLEMENT's departure in late May, Gerald D. FAHLANGER took over the responsibility for the LIONION Project. FAHLANGER, in alias, meets LIONION/1 approximately once per week. In January 1970, the Station had LIONION/1 change the safehouse used for meetings with Station officers. He signed a one-year lease on the new apartmont, in alias. LIONION/1 uses the apartment on weekends and ovonings to lend credence to the cover story he used in ronting; i.e., that he lives out-of-town and maintains this small apartment in Mexico City for use during his frequent visits.2. Station visits to the LIONION basehouse were limited to three during the reporting period. These were made during non-daylight hours. LIONION/1 picked up the Station officer away from the LIONION basehouse area and drove the officer to the basehouse in LIONION/1's own car. The basehouse has a driveway off the street entrance-way which facilitates entry during non-daylight hours.3. During the Project Year, the pulse camera and the electronic equipment used with the LISAMPAN operations were removed from the baschouse, thus reducing the amount of compromising equipment in the basehouse.

Coordination:The Ambassador is aware of our efforts against the Cuban target in general. He has not been specifically briefed on this operation.Future Plans:1.  The Station is re-examining the various points of view which the LIONION basehouse provides of the Cuban Embassy complex in order to determine what steps can be taken to improve the usefulness of the LIONION product. For instance, from the window in the room where the pulse camera previously was installed, an excellent view can be had of the Cuban Embassy garden and the walkways between the three Cuban Embassy buildings--as well as the Consulate. The Station plans to have LIONION/1, on a spot-check basis, observe the garden area. In this way, the Station hopes to update its information on the location of the various officers' offices, the general pattern of movement and activity, etc. This area will also be observed during the night to see if it can be determined which areas are being used for living quarters or offices.2.  It is also planned to assess LIONION/1's ability to observe and draw appropriate conclusions from his observations, and to write these up for the Station.3.  Depending on the need for Consulate coverage, the installation of closed circuit-TV coverage of the Consulate entrance is boing considered.4.  The Station is being queried as to emergency contact arrangements with LIONION/1.Costs:1.  General: This renewal request is for the period 1 July 1970 through 30 June 1971 (FY 1971), in the amount of $11,094.2.  Source of Funds: Project LIONION is included in the Western Hemisphere Division's FY 1971 Operating Program in the amount of $10,000.

Commitments: LIONION/1 and LIONION/2 receive, in addition to their regular salary, the equivalent of one month's salary as a Christmas bonus. LIONION/1 is reimbursed for operational expenses related to the project. In the event of termination, each agent will receive thirty days actual notice.6. Funding: All funds are passed by the case officers during the safchouse meetings with LIONION/1 who receipts for the funds on the spot. The amount of funds used under this project are not enough to arouse the suspicion of LIONION/1 by the authorities should he be apprehended. He has sufficient private income to cover the JKLANCE funds he receives.7. Accounting: All funds are accounted and certified for in accordance with JKLANCE regulations.8. Annexes: None.

SECRET16 June 1969MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Western Hemisphere DivisionSUBJECT : LIONION Project Renewal Request1. Approval is requested of the LIONION Project for the period 1 July 1969 through 30 June 1970 (FY 1970) for $11.994. Funds are available.2. Project LIONION is a support project which provides the Mexico City Station with fixed photographic and physical surveillance of the Cuban Embassy and Consulate in Mexico City. The surveillance is conducted by two indigenous agents located in a basehouse directly across from the Cuban compound. At times the principal agent also acts as a dispatcher for the LIEMBRACE surveillance team. Information is radioed to the team concerning the departure of Cuban officials, thus allowing the team to remain a more discreet distance from the target.3. As reflected in the attached Project Renewal, an audio device planted in the gatehouse of the compound could be monitored at the LIONION basehouse, aiding greatly in identifying visitors. Since the time the Station submitted the renewal, however, this device ceased to function along with the rest of the LISAMPAN devices. This installation was monitored through carrier current from the LISAMPAN/LISASIH basehouse, also situated in front of the compound. Since the connection between the two basehouses was by carrier current only, and since the agents in each basehouse are unaware of the other's activity, a possible compromise of the LISAMPAN/LISASH activity should not affect LIONION security.4. Although the LIONION Project does not produce disseminable positive intelligence, it is considered by the Station as essential to its Cuban operations. The 4.100 or more selective individual photographs produced annually.SECRET

SECRET-2-coupled with the visual observations, were effectivo in providing timely operational information. In addition, over 8,000 feet of pulse camera film is produced annually, recording the image of each visitor to the Consulate. The years of experience of the principal agent have given him intimate knowledge of the target personalities. He often brings matters to the immediate attention of the Station without having been levied the specific requirement to do so. As a result, the Station is aided greatly in keeping abreast of the day to day activities of the Cuban compound.5. In recent months, the LIONION Project was useful to the Station in checking out statements made by ESMARROW-1.6. In March 1969, the Project provided photos of three U.S. citizens who visited the Cuban Embassy and were suspected of being draft dodgers. The photos were passed to the FBI within three hours of the request for information.7. Other than the loss of the audio device in gatehouse, there have been no changes. The operation continues to run smoothly.8. Approval is recommended.![signature]Ernest J. TsikerdanosActing Chief, WH/1SECRET

# SECRETLIONION FROJECT RENEWAL## A. Objectives1. Project LIONION, A long-term support project designed to provide fixed photographic, technical, and physical surveillance of the PBRUMER: Embessy and Consulate in Mexico City, has the following specific objectives:a. To furnish photographic coverage during daylight hours of the main entrances to the target installation.b. To operate as a listening post in support of technical operations against this target to complement the photographic coverage.c. To radio dispatch physical surveillance teams against percons associated with the target.d. To assist the Station in compiling information for individual dossiers on officials of the target installation.e. To fulfill various requirements in support of other Station PBRUMEN operations.2. The above-cited objectives are in agreement with the over-all objectives of Station Mexico City.## B. ChangesOliver D. CIMOCH assumed administrative and operational responsibility for Project LIONION in December 1967 and continued this responsibility until his departure in December 1968. Pending arrival of CIFOCH's replacement, the Project was handled by Station Officer Gerald D. FANLANGER and Station WOACRE representative, Walter W. CORNBURY. On 28 February 1969, LIONION-1 was introduced to Andrew E. PELLEMENT, who assumed Project responsibility effective that date.## C. Intelligence ProductionAs an operational support project, Project LIONION does not produce disseminable positive intelligence. Quantitatively, during CY 1968, the Project provided over 4,000 selective individual photographs of persons and/or vehicles entering the target instellation and over 8,000 feet of pulse camera film. There he s

As reported extensively in HINA 36553, 19February 1969, the Station has been unable to activate LISAI PAN/BAKER since 16 January 1969. A qualitative analysis of theLIONION product is discussed in paragraph D below. The Stationis unable to evaluate the worth of the pulse camera operationsince the bulk film, undeveloped, is pouched directly toHeadquarters. The cost of this portion of the operation isminimal, however, since it is limited to the cost of the filmand development at Headquarters. The camera works automaticallyand requires only minimal maintenance.D. Effectiveness1.  Project LIONION is considered by Station Mexico City as    essential to its PBRULEN operations. It has consistently proven    highly effective and responsive to Station requirements of both    long and short renge nature. LIONION-1, the Project's only full    time agent, continues to furnish on a timely basis, information    on the personalities and activities of the target personnel.    LIONION-2 continues to backstop LIONIC-1 and substitute for him    when he is away from his post. At the age of 70, she is not    able to man the LION ION base full time, and her sight is    failing. She is able to photograph visitors, however, and live    monitor the LISA! PAN/DOG traffic. LIONION-2's role as a    backstop to LIONTON-1 insures continuous coverage of the target    during daylight hours, five days a week. LIONION-l's more than    six years of experience working on the same target continue to    produce an increasingly complete and accurate identification of    the staff and visitors to LIRING. These years of experience have    developed an agent knowledgeable of WOFIRM operational and    security requirements who will often bring to the Station's    attention those matters which he feels are of immediate interest    without having special requirements levied upon him and without    waiting for the next regularly scheduled meeting with his    Station contact.
