MEMORANDUM:24 Oct 66SUBJECT : Handling of LIRING-3 as Hostile AgentIn view of Station Mexico City's statement in paragraph 6 of MEXI 8944 (IN 23093), which presumably comes from LIRING-3's handler Wallace B. ROWTON, to the effect that LIRING-3 "still has strong anti-U.S. feelings", the time has come to review the LIRING-3/Ops in the same cable. the Station set forth several control elements including true name receipts and taps made in ROWTAN's safehouse of LIRING-3's amourous sessions with a young art student. What appears to be lacking is considering the case as the handling of a double agent, probably hostile, his homework--that is to say, that there are certain actions that should be taken in the case as follows:a. Placing of a phone tap on L-3's telephone, if it can be determined that he has a telephone.b. Intercept of all mail going to LIRING-3's home address.c. Physical and photo surveillance of L-3 to determine any patterns of actions or contacts with suspicious persons. if L-3's contacts and actions agree with what L-3 tells ROWTON and to allow ROWTON to be prepared to cover himself in his relations with L-3.d. To discreetly investigate I-3's sources of income, i.e., to see if his income from teaching art classes (and more recently from his wife's salary from BIRING) are sufficient to account for his scale of living, whatever it is.Secret
[104-10266-10138.pdf — page 127]
There are indications in the file that the "homework" as outlined above has not yet been done. The Station was queried in DIR 39039, and in DIR-07441 as to the above matters. It is noted in MEXICO CITY-8944 that the Station said that it did not as yet have "independent checks" on this agent, beyond evidence of entry to the Cuban Embassy furnished by LIONION photo surveillance, and in fact had only his word on claimed actions and statements, and that LIENVOY and LITAINT-2 confirm that L-4, L-3's wife, is definitely employed as a secretary to LIRING-1 as claimed by L-3. The Station tended to doubt that L-3 is a Cuban plant but said that even if he were, that it was no additional risk (the Station was referring to a proposed trip by L-3 to Cuba) since L-3 would be provided with a suitable uncheckable explanation as to how L-3 obtained info on the LOPEZ case.e. Check as suggested in DIR 07441 on status of LIRING-4's father, who is presumably a Chinese, reportedly in the United States. This is of interest in view of stringent U.S. entry requirements laid on Chinese.
