For several weeks the entire “take” from the LIERODE target was recorded from the LIENTRAP vehicle. Later, the LIENTRAP agents operated the LIERODE technical gear from the initial LIERODE stationary base, 3. “To provide operational support to Station operations, i.e, , rent hotel rooms.and apartments, and conduct counter-surveillances," GERENDE is used frequently to rent hotel rooms and apartments for other Station operations and activities. GERENDE's comprehensive area knowledge and personal operational capabilities combine to make him an extremely valuable Station asset for such support activities, GERENDE also procures and services post office box letter drops for the many Station operations requiring them. 4. The quality and quantity of operational information produced by the photographic bases and other activities under GERENDE's control and supervision is considered worthwhile, The Station concludes, therefore, that this segment of the LIEMPTY Project should be continued. C, Relationship to Related Mission Directive Objectives: AS stated in the previous project renewal, it can readily be noted that Project LIEMPTY has provided support to many Station operations and in this manner has been a contributing factor to the furthereance of the Related Mission Directive. The project has not produced any positive intelligence nor has it been intended that it should do so, 2 project's sole purpose is to provide a mechanism for the development of operational information in support of other Seation operations, CHANGES There have been no changes in the LIEMPTY Project during the past project year except that SCANTLING relinquished control of the LIRICE (formerly LIFERSEY) surveillance team inTuly 1961 in accordance with previous plans, ’ SECRET/K#SS

WV, PROBLEMS The security problem in connection with the LICALLA.operation, which was described in last year's renewal request, is still present but has not caused any known difficulty, At Headquarters suggestion in HMMW-9736, the LICALLA base was reactivated on 29. May.1961, The base operator has been cautioned to be ever alert for any unusual incidents which might indicate that the base has been compromised. This is the only problem experienced by the LIEMPTY Project during the past project year, Vv. PLANS The Station considers that the project is now operating at its optimum size and does not plan to expand it during the coming year. Rather, efforts will be devoted to refining and better utilizing the existing project organizational arrangements, VL COSTS A.
