# PROJECT OUTLINE## PART I1. Area of operationsThis project will be run from the Mexico City Station. It will be concerned with targets located in Mexico City.2. PurposeThe purpose of this project is to determine Sino-Soviet plans, activities and connections with other communist elements through the use of technical surveillance. This purpose appears to be in consonance with the Related Mission Directive for Mexico (dated 7 May 1957), Priority A, Objective One.3. BackgroundProject LIFEAT was approved initially on 3 October 1950. Actual operations began on 18 January 1951 and have run continuously since that time. The LIFEAT operation was begun with the installation of one telephone tap and has expanded since that time to an average daily monitoring of 23 telephone lines and from one to four hidden microphone installations (the microphone operations were originally under a separate project-LIGOL).Project LIFEAT is a unilateral operation. It is completely independent from any liaison arrangement and is staffed by Agency staff and contract employees together with a substantial number of local indigenous controlled agents.During the past six years Project LIFEAT has produced more than 40,000 pages of operational and intelligence information in direct support of the Mexico City Station's objectives specifically and has contributed materially to the intelligence gathering activities connected with the Sino-Soviet bloc. In addition, Project LIFEAT has been of considerable value and assistance in monitoring the activities of Americans residing in Mexico City in which JMWAVE has major interest.4. Referencesa.

Contact and communications between the case officer and the agents and undercover personnel in this operation is maintained in a clandestine manner. Various patterns have lean established by which the aronte and the case officers follow prearranged signals for the meetings. When heavy or bulky material is to be passed, the meetings are always held at nights. All movement in and out of bases by the Case Dicere and Principal Apente is done in cars ostensiblyoned by the base apente, exrept in the case of LIVERY, vhare the agents are too ald to drive. One of the local arents is usually used to contact the LIVE! here. Entrance to the bases by foot is made only in great merrencies.b. Telephonte contact concerning the Project is kept to a minimum and a code system of cipite and cryptonyms has been devised for use by the agents and case officers for phone conversations.c. Alternate and emergency signals have been worked out.d. In general these systems of contact and communication have been in practice for over six years and appear to have been suitable to the work. In detail, locations and tines of seetings have been changed frequently.## 13. Control and MotivationThe indigenous arente on this project project are motivated by t
[104-10188-10000.pdf — page 183]
following factores:a. The LI DAMER group: Motivated by high salaries and present studying there. They are further controlled by fear of police action.b. The LIVESTOCK group: Motivated by family loyalty, good salaries and pro-PP Outlook. They are further controlled by fear of police action.c. The LIMITATION group: Motivated by pro-PPP sentiments, LIMITATT being a POPENE citizens and LIMITATT having resided there for many years.d. The LIPSTICK group: Motivated by family loyalties, good salaries and personal loyalty to LOST.e. The LIQUIDATION group: Motivated by family loyalty and good salary. LI, himself, is anti-communist, control is ideological and monetary.14. Equipment and SupportIt is believed that the supply of equipment for LIFEAT currently at the Station is sufficient to carry the operation through the calendar year 1957, but it is possible that simultaneous breakdown of quantities of the older equipment, dating from 1951 and in constant use since then, would necessitate the placing of separate orders for replacements.15. TimetableLIFEAT has been in almost constant operation since its inception in January 1951 and it is planned to continue it indefinitely.
