FOR INTERNAL STaFE use (Not to go forward to the Diviaten) COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS (Foe go farward ta the Biviaion) The CI Staff concurs in the renewal of this very valuable Project. The Staff strongly urges the Station to continue its close monitoring of Soviet interest in the installation buildings and attempts to obtain information on sensitive project personalities. The Station should devise necessary contingency plans of action to eliminate any security hazards if it is determined that the Soviets are intensifying such efforts and could be gatting “too close"to the Project installations, personalities and activities.

The abore chjectives are to be fulfilled throush combined asintenance end exploitation of the LINITSD, LILYRIC ana LICALLA basehouses, the LISNTRAP aobile unit, and the services of lons-tiae contract agent, Reayanond HW, GSRSNDs, these objectives are in consonance with and represent partial ®ulfillaent of the followings sections of the current Related Mission Directive (R@) as eporoved for Station Mexico City: . PAISRUITY A Section 1, subsection f Saction 2, subsections b te Section 1, subsection a sion 2, subsection a €. Throughest the Project year under review, Project LISOTY continued to eantribute sivectly and significantly to the fulfilleent of Station and Reasquarters’ requests ana requireaents for coverase of various targets falling within the frasevork of the rbove cited sections c? the RND.

2. Bar, > De the LIMERICK installation and personnel, Specific exasples of the LIEMPTY Project's progress and contributions to the RMD will be found in Section 3 below (EPPECTIVENESS)._ MANGES. . A. Gperationsl - As noted in the previous Request for- Project Renewal, the former LINITMD property ves sold to LIKCUSDEE, who as per foraal agree- went with the Station, desolished the oli structure and constructed a new edifice. While it ws inttially contesplated to place the LIMITED - (LIEMETYs ~b and -7) personnel in the new building and to retain the same, equal divigion of workload between LILYRIC anu LIMITED, 16 was later’ aeciued to acve the present LILYRIC basehouse personnel (LIEMPTYs-13, -14, -26 and -27) into the new base instead, along with the following ancillary modi fications 2 An increase in the hours of both the photographic and physical surveillence coverage provided fros the new base by the LILYRIC cperetors (c800-1500 hours) during the weekdeys and to have the LIMITED base provide photographic and physical surveillance coverege froa 1660-1230 hours on weekdays and from 0950-1309 hours on weexends, These changes were dietated by the followlag considerations: 1, The new LIMOUSINE building offers a auch better vantage point for both photographic and physical surveillance than does the presert complex whicn houses the LILYRIC and LIMITED bases. Therefore, the Station felt that the personnel occupying this new base should be those possessing the highest technleel skills and also those able to provide the eost thorough anid coaplete coverase, Since the LIMITED bace now has only one trained operator while the LILYRIC basehouse hes three, the LILYRIC group end a revision of vorking hours was inlicatel. @. RBecsuse it was apparent that the coverage of the LIMERICK lantalletion would be a lonz-range and continuing requiresent, the Stetion desired to steff the new bese with personnel of long~ range potential, LIEMPTY-6, now alacst 60 years cl4, does not possess this potentiel; hovever, the LILYRIC axent co=zplex happily coabines experienced personel with youthful agents. 3, Finally, the social and financial status of the LiLyalc personnel is euch wore compatible and consistent with the en- virongent of the nev building than is that of the LIMITED feetly. The above-cite! revised Work schedule was initlated in July 1966 and the actual sovesent or the LILYAICs into the new base begear in late Septeaber 1965
