MEXI-2031, 22 July 195850-6-32/1DATE: 19 September 19581.  Project LIF AT was renewed on 9 September 1958 for the period 1 July 1958 through 30 June 1959 for a total of $159,590.2.  KUTUBE/OPS recommended that the Station make an increased effort to reduce the amount of paper work for the case officer to allow his sufficient time to go beyond the surveillance-investigative phase of handling the many operational leads and be in a position for more agent recruitment efforts. KUTUBE suggested that several of the lines which are of marginal value be deactivated, temporarily at least, to assist in this effort.3.  The project review forwarded with HMMA-10198 was submitted for approval as prepared in the field with the exception of Part II which had to be retyped in view of the number of changes and additions required. The only changes made in the Project review - LIFEAT section was the deletion of several examples of reports originating from several LIF-AT sources. These deletions (such as the last five examples of reports on Soviet Commercial Activities) were made because the reports did not originate with LIFEAT eventhough they did concern the Subject being discussed. Part I of the Project Outline excerpts submitted by the field was also submitted for approval-the only change made was the omission of the field's request for a change in paragraph 6 of the Project Outline on Objectives. Headquarters did not think subparagraph "f" should be deleted.4.  Attached for our information and records is a complete copy of the Renewal Request. It is requested that you review the memorandum, "WH Division's Comments on the LIFEAT Project Renewal", and the new Part II, paying particular attention to the personnel included therein. This request is being made in view of the conflicting information Headquarters received from the Station Case Officer who was on TDY in Headquarters (DIR 31900-16 July 1958) and from the field (MEXI-2031) in reply to HMW-6555.OLIVER G.

SECRE17 July 1958MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, WH/IIISUBJECT: LITMUS Phase of LIFEAT ProjectREFERENCE: WH/III Memorandum dated 2 July 19581. Due to a period of dormancy, the LITMUS phase of the LIFEAT Project has furnished a relatively small amount of reporting, during the past year, concerning BEDOX officials and their activities in Mexico. While small in quantity, the information furnished has been of considerable operational value because of the nature of the operation and the fact that it serves as a major source of data on the BEDOX target. The LITMUS operation has furnished accurate travel data, information on the function and scope of activity engaged in by the BEDOX personalities we are interested in and has helped us determine the number of contacts the BEDOX installation maintains with the local citizenry in the course of its activities. In the last case, the LITMUS operation has linked a local citizen, long suspected of Soviet Bloc intelligence activity, with one known and one suspected BEDOX intelligence officer serving under diplomatic cover in Mexico. This local citizen is now the subject of an extensive effort to prove his Soviet Bloc intelligence role and to determine the extent of his activity. Finally, the LITMUS operation has begun to furnish valuable operational data on a BEDOX personality who has recently arrived to assume a consular post. This particular BEDOX official was recommended to the field as a target of interest because of his past intelligence background. We feel confident that the LITMUS operation will aid considerably in our effort to monitor the activities of this individual.2. Now that the LITMUS phase of the LIFEAT operation has, once again, begun to function, we believe that the information obtained therefrom will show a steady increase in operational value during the coming year.PETER K.

# SECRET## WH Division Comments on LIFEAT Project Renewal1.  At the end of January 1958, telephone linemen discovered our tap on the LIVERY installation leading into one of our base houses. As a result of this all LIFEAT operations were suspended as of 31 January and 1 February 1958 pending the outcome of what appeared to be an involved investigation by the Mexican Telephone Company. The EIWATER's disclosed that the telephone company was not investigating the situation and the operation was secure.The first line from the BIMKICK group was put in again on 17 March 1958. During the same month coverage of one American Communist was also re-stated.As of the end of April, the Station had coverage on the following lines:3 LIRICK, 1 LITOSPHERE, 1 LITMIS, 1 American Communist, 1 Target of Opportunity, and 1 Mexican Soviet Contact. Since the partial re-instatement of LIFEAT coverage there has been no indication that suspicion of the activity exists on the part of the Mexican Telephone Company or security services. In order to provide more secure LIFEAT coverage, a new system of installation of technical surveillance is now in effect. This system prohibits the opposition from detecting any LIFEAT lines with a voltage meter.2. The following new personnel have been included in this Project renewal requests:a.  LISTY (Leona C. GANDARA - ps), a U. S. citizen and wife of a Staff Agent, was issued CSA on 24 June 1958 as a LIFEAT processor. The field is preparing a contract for her. (C-61557)b. LIMANU-1 (Janet N. DELACUR - ps), a U. S. citizen, was issued an Operational Approval on 31 January 1958 for use as a LIFEAT processor. She is motivated by patriotic loyalty. Financial remuneration will provide additional control. The field has been requested to prepare a formal contract for her. (C-393)c. LIVEWATER-6 is an employee of the Mexican Telephone Company and is LIMEWATER's assistant. His motivation at this time is believed to be financial. A POA was granted LIVEWATER-6 on 14 May 1958. An Operational Approval has been requested. (C-70322)d. LIQUATION-1, wife of LICCATION-1, occupies a basehouse with her husband. She received an OA on 2 October 1957. She will receive no remuneration.3. LIMESTONE-9, LIMESTONE-10, LEUCATION-2, LIPSTICK-35, LIPSTICK-37 and LIMITATION-7 are still active under Project LIFEAT. They receive no remuneration. Therefore, their names do not appear on the list of LIFEAT agents on the attached Part II of the Project Outline.# SECRET

LIMITATION-5 (C-24845) and LIMITATION-6 (C-39418) who were included under Project LIFIAT when it was last renewed, have been withdrawn from this project and were included under the LUSTICK Project renewal which was approved on 3 December 1957.2.  The LICOL phase has been removed from Project LIFEAT since these two technical operations are completely compartmented. The funding for LICOOL and its facilities will be covered by another project.SECRET

# Product of the Project## The Soviet Embassy### Soviet Commercial Activities:During the past year reports submitted from screening the traffic of the two established Soviet Commercial Offices in Mexico have provided a great amount of detail concerning Soviet efforts to sell in the Latin American market, both heavy industrial merchandise and movies and literature. Knowledge of their methods of transshipping and attempts at concealment of point of origin of products has been gleaned from this take. As a result of this knowledge, reports on the firms with whom they are doing business have been procured and provided for background information. Following are a list of the reports submitted as a result of intelligence procured from this source:*   IRM-3085 Soviet Commercial Activities in Mexico*   IRM-3165, Soviet Commercial Activities in Mexico*   IRM-3286 Soviet Commercial Activities in Mexico, December 1957*   IRM-3253 - Soviet Commercial Contacto in Mexico-Michoacana del Deslconio, S. de R.L.*   IRM-3064 Soviet Comercial Contacto in Mexico - Serviolo Agricola, S.A.*   IRM 3139 Anilinas y Productos Quimicos S. de R.L.*   IRM-3404 Imports into Mexico from Soviet Union*   CIA-9529 American Cyanid Co., Valco Chemical Division### Soviet Diplomatic Activities:This project has provided coverage and details of some of the diplomatic activities of the Soviets in Mexico. It has served to show the relationships maintained, culturally, socially and diplomatically, between the Soviets and the members of the Satellite establishments in Mexico.*   IRM-3215, Soviet Attendance at Yugoslav Reception*   IRM-3351 - Reception at Soviet Embassy.*   IRM-2992 - Diplomatic Activities of Soviet Embassy, Mexico City.*   IRM-2649 - Diplomatic Activities of Soviet Embassy, Mexico City### Soviet Cultural Activities:Information produced by LIFEAT has given details of Soviet activities in connection with publications, cultural institutes, and related activities. Examples of such reports are:*   IRM-2670 - Soviet Embassy Reception for Mexican Musicians*   IRM-2047 - Cultural & Propaganda Activities of Soviet Embassy*   IRM-3080, Cultural & Propaganda Activities of Soviet Embassy

# Project RoviorAttachment to 14-A-10198KAPOK 1401d. Soviet Military Activities:Monthly reports on the activities of Soriot litary persamel, knowledge of which vas olitained from LIPAT, and their contacts in military circles in Maxico have proved to be of especial interest to WICK service attaches in Maxtoo.e. Movements of Soviet Officials:Through LIFEAT coverage a roster of Soviet personnel presently in Maxico has been maintained by Station Nexico. This has been the primary source of such Inforaation. LIFEAT has enabled the Station to determine in advance when departures can be expected for the Soviets, prior to their permanent departure, normally stock up on clothing and occasionally other items throught to be in short supply in the USSR.f. Soviet Embassy Contacts:Contacts reports of the Soviets are compiled and provided İbadquarters es necessary. These reports are of considerable operation value in identifying local and foreign Communists with whom the Soviets are in regular contact. Following ere examples of this type of coverage:121-2841- MONTES Y ER'DLEY (fon)1881-3199 - Farciso BASOCLS Contacte with the Soviet Embassy.g. Personality Reports on Soviet Officials:LIFEAT has provided the Station with the most productive source of infor- mation concerning the private and official lives of the Soviets assigned hess. These reports have been submitted on dindividuals, e.g. H84-1-9504, Aleksey B. CIERKASOV, and also under one cover, 11-A-985%, January 1958 Report of Personnel Activities.h. Goods and Services:Periodic reports of the persons and institutions knom to be providing goods and services to the Soviet Dabassy have been of considerable value in developing and mounting & LAURICLE operation. Information of this type has also been of con siderable value to the Station in the LIMESA operation.i. Miscellaneous Activities of the Soviet Embassy:LIFEAT material which does not fall into my one category but which deals with the Soviets and their associates and related activities has been reported os necessaryThe Czech LegationThe information obtained on the Czech Legation during the period under reviov is essentially the same as that from the Soviet Embassy. To avoid repetition, only a brief summary of the information submitted will be given here.

Project ReviewAttachment to E-A-10198KAPOX-1401a. Czech Personnel Reports:HMI-3169, Activities of *denek KITA* and EI1-3236, *Travel of Czech* Legation personnel, are examples of the type of reports made from the personality and activity inform acquired from LIFEAT coverage of his installation. BII-3262, *Cocktail Party at Czech Residence*, is any example of the reports from this source on diplomatic activities of this installation.b. Spot Reports on Czech Legation Activities:Reports on a spot basis which were of interest included:Polish LegationInformation on this installation closely parallels that obtained on the Czech Legation and the Soviet installations. The largest amount of information concerning the Polish installation has been procured from LIFEAT. An example of reports from this source is IFF-3161, Leon KILARSKI, Polish Commercial Attache. Another is 1844-3130, Suspicious Contact of Edward RUDSKI, Josef Isaak GANSCHAFT.Mexican Communist Party and Communist FrontsA significant amount of information concerning the Communist Party in Mexico and the Communist front organizations in Mexico was obtained from LIFEAT. Information from LIFEAT has been invaluable in supplementing agent coverage of the front- organizations which exist here. Examples of this type of reporting are as follows:IHH-3193 - Narciso BASSOLS and Family1844-3176 - Travel of Pro-CommunistsAmerican Communists in Mexico:One of the most extensive and productive coverages maintained through LIFEAT during this past year was directed against American Communists in Mexico. Hast of these targets have been covered at the request of ODERNY and the production has been partially processed by them for the Justification of one of their dots in their local establishment. A total of jel reels have been the result of the coverage since 1 July 1957 until 25 April 1958.Foreign Communists in Mexico and Mexican Communists:LIFEAT continued to provide partial coverage of Eduardo MACHADO Morales, Venezuelan Communist, until the time of his departure for return to Venezuela. LIFEAT also provided some 50 reels of coverage on Diego RIVERA, well-known Communist Mexican painter, until his dealth in November 1957. From this coverage it was determined that RIVERA was sufficiently concerned over the departure of the former Soviet Cultural Attache, Yuriy PAPOROV, that he arose from his sick bed in order to make the trip to Verecrus by car so insure that PAPOROV's departure was without incident.

# Project ReviewAttachment to HSI-A-10198KAPOK-1401## LA/RIC/LZ Information:LIFEAR has contributed materially to several matters having LA/RIC/LZ interest.## Counter Intelligence Information:S/CI matters constitute a major portion of the Mexico City Station's priority objectives. Project LI/FEAT has contributed more leads and general information on the Soviet aspect of this subject then all other Station sources. A few representative samples of this type of information are the following:HR-A-9121, Suspicious Soviet ContactHRA-9135- Sergio KIREY RassvetaetHRA-8552, Vladimir SOKOLOV; Col. Jesus de LEXI Toral, 6 November 1957LOHAYPOHL## Jewish Communist Activities:Coverage of the Jewish Communist leader, Samuel MAGIDIH Magidin, has confirmed the continuing decline of the local Jewish Communist movement. It has also provided the Station with information on those former members who continue to meet at irregular intervals on an informal basis.## Conclusion:The Mexico City Station believes that the produce of the LI/FEAT Project measured against the expenditure of KUBARK ascote in terms of personnel, time, security risks and funds well justifies its removal. The information produced by this operation has materially contributed to several priority objectives of the Station's Related Mission Directive.## 2. Progress of the Operation:Definite progress has been made in reporting on the objectives of the LI/PEAT Project. However, since LI/VSAT objectives are of a continuing nature and are not designed to be achieved, no statistics can be cited as to the percentage of coverage on each objective. A general indication of the coverage can be derived when it is realized that some 15,000 pages of raw text are the direct result of the operation from which the statistics cited above were derived. Except for a period from 1 February - 11 April 1958 LI/VSAT has been in daily operation with some 18 to 23 lines being covered. Generally, these may be broken down as follows:Soviet Embassy - 7 linesCzech Legation - 2 linesPolish Legation - 2 linesAmerican Communists - 5 linesRemainder - 7 lines

Attachment to RC-A-10198IUOC-14013. Planning for the FutureDuring the coming year station capabilities will be expanded to permit greater flexibility of approximately 20 lines. Basic coverage of Soviet, Czech and Polish activities will be continued to the maximum extent possible and assets and capabilities will be maintained for exploiting 1 recent targets of opportunity. At the present, the mechanism being used for LIFAAT. It is understood, Station believes that 28 will be the maximum number of lines which can be handled properly and securely by the personal resources and assets here for LIFAAT.4. Maintenance of AgentsIn general the performance of the LIFAAT agents has been good and secure during the past year. It is hoped that within the coming year the remainder of the ICALL group will be securely and permanently removed from the project and replaced by well-indoctrinated personnel. In view of the high degree of security necessary for the personnel involved in this operation, it is planned to screen very carefully any possible candidates before they are approached for use in this operation after prior approval for an approach has been secured from Headquarters.Additional comments concerning the protection, security and cover of individual agents will be found in the attached commitment to the field outline which was submitted with RC-A-5708.5. Expenditures During Period under ReviewApproval was granted for the period under review, 1 July 1957 - 30 June 1958, to expend $196,047. The proposed LIFAAT budget for FY 1959 is contained in the attached field project outline Part II.6. Status of CommitmentsThere are no commitments other than those provided for in the outline and the individual commitments of several LIFAAT personnel.![signature]
