Thomas Keenan, the project's case officer, did not remember that this was the case. He did remember that both bases operated at the same time so as to get the most complete coverage possible.[^2]Mr. Keenan was not sure whether there was routine coverage of the Soviet Embassy on weekends.[^3] He said that it was possible that there was routine coverage on Saturday mornings.[^4]An examination of the project file maintained by the CIA on the photographic coverage of the Soviet Embassy does not bear out Mr. Keenan's assertion that the two bases duplicated efforts. In fact, the project file confirmed that the bases complemented each other rather than duplicated efforts.

L[IMITED is used as a radio dispatch base for automobile surveillance teams in addition to physical surveillance of persons entering the front gate. Their photography is negligible compared to their other duties. The ILYRIC base performs the best photography of persons visiting the front gate, perhaps because the vantage point for taking the pictures is from the second floor and above the street traffic which partially blocks LIMITED photographs. LILYRIC also does individual reports on LIMERICK personnel entering and leaving the main gate...139/In 1964 the Mexico City Station restated the operating procedures of the two bases in a dispatch referenced to the above paragraph from HMMA-14793:Classification:

Although on the surface it may appear that these two basehouses provide duplicate take, this is not the case. It has been the Station's experience in running the unilateral LIEMPTY operation that a 0900 to evening workday, which would be required of a single basehouse in order to cover the LIMERICK target effectively, is just too long for any pair of agerts to remain effective. This is especially true when it is considered that these basehouse operators are essentially unsupervised during their workday. It would also be impossible or a single base-house to provide the kind of coverage this station needs on the target instalation, especially during the peak hours of activity, namely late morning and early a ternoon. For these reasons, the LILYRIC basehouse generally operates from 0900 0 1400 or 1500 weekdays. LIMITED operates from 1200 to 1800 or dark (as the daily situacion dictates) on weekdays, and 0900 to 1400 on Saturdays. (These hours are subject to change to fit Station needs.) Special coverage fo Sunday is arranged on a need basis; however, past experience has shown regular coverage of Saturday afternoons and Sundays is not rewarding.

Although even this arrangement is not completely airtight, anything less than this would present unacceptable gaps in the coverage. It must also be considered that without two basehouses covering the front of the target installation, any illness, personal problem or vacation for operators of one basehouse would terminate Station coverage... It is the Station's opinion that as long as the LIMERICK installation is a prime target of the Station, it will be necessary to maintain the present three basehouses. To eliminate any one of the three would create a gap in the Station's coverage that would not be compatible with the emphasis placed on this target... 140/(e.phasis gadden)But the information in the preceding chart does not correlate with the statement of the coverage in HMMA-23343.
