The following report is submitted in accordance with CSFHB-R 52-6-1, section V, paragraph 2 (d) (1).## A. EXPLOITATION OF LEADS(1) LIFEAT/Soviet During the reporting period, LIFEAT coverage of Svyatoslav F. KUZNETSOV provided an important and valuable check confirming the reporting of a number of KUBARK controlled double agents targeted against this Soviet officer. Also, coverage of the Soviet Bulletin Office, although not considered vital, does complete Station coverage of the Soviet target and does provide daily information on the activities and contacts of the Bulletin Office personnel.(2) LIFEAT/Polish LIFEAT continued to provide vital Information concerning the BEKNAVE/BECHICK operation with coverage of both individuals and their daily activities.(3) LIFEAT/Yugoslav Besides the usual coverage of day-to-day activities of the official installation, LIFEAT leads have indicated the possibility of a successful recruitment of a Mexican employee of that installation, LIFEAT information will become even more valuable for continuing assessment of the potential agent and forming of a plan for approach to the Mexican In question.(4) LIFEAT/Communist Party Coverage in this area gave Station its first information concerning the second arrest of LINLUCK, as well as providing sonie information on important persons in the Mexican Communist movement.(Continued)DATE TYPED: 28 Nov. 1962DISPATCH SYMBOL AND NUMBER: HMMA-20261HEADQUARTERS FILE NUMBER: 50-6-32/3

# CONTINUATION OF DISPATCHSECRET HMMA-20261(5) LIFEAT/Exile LIFEAT provides continuing coverage of the daily activities and contacts of juan Jose AREVALO Bermejo. Although most of the leads gathered will depend on future exploitation, one contact with an ODYOKE official was noted by LIFEAT (see reference b).(6). LIFEAT/Cuban Of late, much of the emphasis of the LIFEAT operation has been directed toward support of Station operations in this area, Coverage included monitoring of the activities of AMSTET-1 for the interested Case Officer. This information provided daily leads for the Case Officer in his contacts with AMSTET-1. LIFEAT also covered three lines in support of the AMSTRUT operation. Of this support the interested Case Officer has noted LIFEAT provided very valuable coverage of the important AMSTRUT operation during October. The coverage gave valuable operational leads and resolved what would otherwise have been areas of uncertainty or groundless suspicion. This allowed the case officers to move with more certainty in developing the operation than would otherwise have been prudently possible. It is noted that LIFEAT's continuing coverage is proving to be most helpful.(7) LIFEAT/American Communists LIFEAT continued to provide information of interest to ODENVY. Travel and contacts of the ACGM are particularly worthwhile.(8) LIFEAT/Miscellaneous LIFEAT continued its coverage of former Station asset LIVESTOCK-2. This was in keeping with Station's policy of making perlodic checks of the activities of former, potentially dangerous agents.It should be noted that It is the Station's opinion that LIFEAT'S excellent overall service, plus its ability to provide unilateral coverage of targets of opportunity on short notice (sometimes on as little as two hours notice), make LIFEAT a dependable daily contributor to the fulfilling of the Station's mission.B. PROCESSING OF TAKENo change from previous report.C. LIAISONDuring the month of October the two playback recorders used by the ODENVY processor broke down. These were repaired by the LIFEAT technician, David M. WILSTED, ODENVY continued to process take from the LIFEAT/American Communists in Mexico lines.D. SECURITYThere have been no known adverse security incidents effecting the LIFEAT operation during the reporting period. LIFEAT meeting sites continue to be changed periodically. The fourteen regular and six alternate sites used for daily contact between the Station Case Officer and WILSTED and Wayne C. DRABAND are considered adequate. Numerous meeting sites are used for contacts between WILSTED/DRABAND and the basehouse keepers.E. TECHNICAL.Audio and dial tape recorders ordered by the Station in support of the LIFEAT operation began to arrive at the end of October. These were placed in immediate service. It is noted that the automatic tape stop on the new model Revere audio recorder has thus far proven to be of no use to the operation

SIDOROV, Soviet Military Attache in Mexico.(2) LIFEAT/Cuban This coverage provided valuable operational "support during the period leading up to the recruitment of AMSTRUT-2 giving timely advance information of AMSTRUF-2's arrival in Mexico, as well as his day to day activities and contacts. Following AMSTRUT-2's recruitment, LIFEAT gave an excellent account of AMSTRUT-2's activities for those periods he was not under the control of his case officers. This was invaluable proof of his full cooperation with KUBARK and added a safety factor for the case officers making the recruitment and initial handling which would not have been otherwise available.(3) LIFEAT/Polish and LIFEAT Yugoslav These coverages continue to provide excellent information of the daily activities of the Satellite officials assigned to Mexico.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: DSARIEFING OF DAVID M. WILSTS? (ps)5 June 19601. On 1 June 1960 Mr. John G. Hayn and Mr. John Kennedy of WHD,   Mr. Robert Brown of CI/OFS, Hr. Robert Bryant of FI/OPS and Mr. Charles   Bray of FI/D met with David N. WILSTED (ps).2. WILSTED emphasised that the whole telephone system in Mexico   City is undergoing a reformation. The company Telefonos de Mexico, S.A.,   has sub-contracted this work of cleaning up and reorganising the phone   system to the independent fira, Intel. They are cleaning unused and   old lines, putting in new and spare lines, redefining exchange areas,   laying underground cables, etc. Eventually we should be better off be-   cause there should be more surplus lines. The renovation work hás   hampered much of the LIFEAT work, principally because mary of the lines   now are underground and we cannot get access to them before they enter   the central. This is particularly true with respect to the Coach En-   basay, to whose telephone lines we cannot obtain access from the vantage   point we now occupy.3. WILSTED said that we try to keep track of the activities of   "Intel" but since they seen to attack "Colonias" at randon, we have no   prior warning of their presence in a certain area..4. In the recent past, Mexico has been using houses for listing   posts for security reasons. We have more control over the access of   phone company inspectors or repairman to houses. Howevar, under new   regulations, all new apartment buildings must have, telephone lines in-   stalled in the building by the phone company during the construction   phase. This means that the lines and their destination are concealed.   WILSTED proposed that this will mean we can again use aperteenta since   we can siphon off a line destined for use by another tenant in such a   way that the phone company cannot trace its destination without tearing   the building apart and we can then install a separate line to the build-   ing and hook up the subscriber to this line which, if checked, will   belong to a legitimate subscriber.5. One system which has been used effectively is to take one-half   of two separate pairs which have one faulty line each. These two lwilf   pairs then form one good pair which can use.6. WILSTED explained that it cost about 3000 pesos to get a   regular telephone. This entails the purchase of a telephone company   band, which later can be sold.

-2-SECRET7.  Personnal involved in the tapping of the lines are:    Rene - who has access to the centrals. He contects the following men:    Two brothers    Jose - does exchange connections.8.  The take from each basehouse is collected early in the morning before office hours by RAFANELLI. He only enters one basehouse which is occupied by an elderly couple. All other contants are in automobiles made at different spots each day of the week. RAFANSLLI then takes the material to a meeting between him, WILSTED and SECHEN where FA PANELLI turns the material over to SECHEN and they all discuss the problems and plans for the day.9.  According to WILSTED there is no live monitoring done by any of the basehouse keepers.10. There follows a list of the basehouses and the lines covered at each base:a) Calero 39- formerly covered American consuls, now no lines.

The following report is submitted in accordance with CSHB-F 52-6-1, Section V, paragraph 2 (d) (1).A. Exploitation of Leads(1) LIFEAT/SOVIET With the departure of Vladimir G. NOVIKOV during the month of August 1962, it was decided that LIFEAT should pick up coverage of his replacement Svyatoslav F. KUZNETSOV. The continued coverage of aleksandr G. SIDOROV, which includes extensive periods of live-monitoring and special processing of the take, is considered essential to those Station assets involved in the attempt to place the technical surveillance noted in last month's report (see reference A). Coverage of the Soviet Bulletin Office continues to provide interesting personality data on Soviet officials assigned to Mexico,(2) LIFEAT/POLISH LIFEAT coverage in support of the BEKNAVE/BECHICK operation continues to be vital to that operation. Additional coverage for this operation has been undertaken, leads from which will probably determine future direction of the operation as well as aid KUBARK in controlling the operation.(3) LIFEAT/YUGOSLAV In this area LIFEAT provided the information that a cousin of a recently assigned KUBARK deep cover agent, Victor W. OBOLD (ps) will be travelling to Mexico in the near future. This cousin is a long-time Communist Party official and a chance meeting with him could have destroyed OBOLD's carefully prepared cover. Due to LIFEAT advanced warning, proper security safeguards have been arranged, LIFEAT has also provided travel information on Yugoslav officials from the United States which was of great interest to ODENVY.(Continued)DATE TYPED: 20 Sept. 1962DISPATCH SYMBOL AND NUMBER: HMMA-19843

Both are being terminated by KUBARK since their usefulness asbasehouse keepers for the project will end with their divorce. The agents haveagreed to the terminat lon and it will be accomplished on a friendly basis.(Agent Service Records will be forwarded). Therefore, it has been necessaryto close Annex VI and terminate coverage of the lines provided by that base-house. LIFEUD-24 and LIFEUD-26 have been recruited to replace the ter-minated.couple and are presently looking for a suitable basehouse which couldfully replace the old Annex VI. (Note: POA was granted for LIFEUD-24 on 28June 1962 and OA was requested. Also, OA was requested for LIFEUD-26on 30 August 1962.)During the absence of Woodrow B.

The following report is submitted in accordance with CSHB-F 52-6-1, Section V. paragraph 2 (d) (1): 1## A. Exploitation of Leads(1) LIFEAT/SOVIET LIFEAT coverage in this area was concentrated on known RIS officers: Vladimir G. NOVIKOV and Aleksandr G. SIDOROV. The most rewarding lead from this coverage during July was that SIDOROV would be absent with his enttre family from his apartment for nearly two months, and more importantly, that no one would be continuously watching the apartment during that time. Based on this information, the Station has been able to make the necessary preparations for establishing technical surveillance of this apartment, LIFEAT coverage of the Soviet Bulletin Office, in addition to the above coverages, has provided information on the dally activities of Individual Soviet officials assigned to Mexico, including collection of travel and blographical data.(2) LIFEAT/POLISH LIFEAT coverage has been vital to the BEKNAVE/BECHICK operation. LIFEAT has even provided live-monitoring of an international call to BECHICK from a former admirer. Also in the Polish area, LIFEAT provided names of Polish Embassy contacts who were Invited to Polish national holiday celebrations at the Polish Embassy, as well as information concerning the impending arrival of the new Polish Am-bassador,(3) LIFEAT/YUGOSLAV In the Station's increased operations against this target, basic biographical, personnel assignment, and personnel datly activity information is essential, LIFEAT has been providing just this type information since coverage commenced in May.
