[eo] ; | ~ SUMMARY OF FILE REVIEW CONDUCTED AT CIA HEADQUARTERS ON 31 OCTOBER 1978. response dated 20 August 1978. "SUBJECT: Response to HSCA Request of 25 July 1978. i. A thorough review of Agency files containing production from thd LILYRIC 2 photographic surveillance operation in Mexico City reveals the existence of nd. LILYRIC}logs or production earlier than 3 April 1967. It appears that earlier photographs may have been destroyed in a purge of Mexico City Station files and that the folders for the destroyed material were re-used to forward more recent photographic material to Headquarters for retention. 2. According to a blind memorand d 2 May 1977, subject: Review of Mexico City Station Files at thd evords Center, the{LILYRIC folder which would have contained photographs and logs for the period 23 July through 30 November 1963 had been re-used to store LICALLA photo- graphs and logs for the period 2 May through 30 June 1967. (Cf. Blind memorandum dated 5 May 1977, subject: Photograph Records of the “uniden- tified Man" who Was in Mexico City during October 1963.) 3. The above information is contained in a soft file entitled: Photograph of Unidentified Individual in Mexico City. This folder has been reviewed by the following HSCA staff members: .13 March 1978 - Dan Hardway 10 April 1978 - Michael Goldsmith . ‘Rober Genzman 4 May 1978 - Edwin Lopez.

The coverage for 27 September is given as 900 to 1900 but the last sequence of pnotogranhs was taken at 1146.

21D le Barbara gave me a copy of a file entitled “Response to HSCA -28.07.78 ‘Item’5 (Delimitations Agreement)" as a response to request of 7/20/78 for FBI-CIA agreements regarding Mexico. 10:30 AM “ Reply to 7/20 request regarding CIA-FBI coordination: 31 July 1978 Memo for Breckinridge from Shepanek 1. The answer to paragraph 2 of reference is that there are not now, nor were there any, agreements between the CIA and FBI or other U.S. govern- ment agencies concerning CIA responsibility to report on contacts fo U.S. citizens with Communist Embassies or officials. Such reporting would be expressly forbidden by current legislation. 2. The CIA under operative legislation has a counterintelligence respon- sibility for counterintelligence cases but this is not a matter of agreement with other agencies nor does it concern simp] contacts of Americans abroad with Communist Embassies or officials.

Ref :C HMMN48515--not located. ( H¥4WA323343, 4/30/64, says, in para. 2: ae B LD gt 7D “The Station feels that it would be helpful to summarize at this time information previously reported to Headquarters (see paragraph 3, reference B) concerning the photo basehouses under this project and thereby give Headquarters an updated frame of reference in which to view the roles of the various basehouses. i ~© Thi LIMITED and LILYRIC BASEHOUSES provide coverage of front of the ¢ LIMERICK\installlation. 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 Jtarget effectively, is just too long for any pair of agents 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 for a single base-house to provide the kind of coverage the station needs on the target installation, especially during the peak hours of activity, namely late morning and early afternoon. For these reasons, the€LILYRIC4basehouse generally operates from 0900 to 1400-or 1500 weekdays. LLIMITEDJoperates from 1200 to 1800 or dark (as the daily situation dictates) on weekdays, and 0900 to 1400 on Saturdays. (These hours are subject to change to fit Station néeds.) Special coverage for Sunday is arranged on a need basis; however, past experience has shown regular coverage of Saturday afternoons and Sundays is not rewarding. This schedule provides for both basehouses to be in action during the peak activity hours of theCLIMERICKtarget. 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€LIMERICKJInstallation is a prime target of the Station, it will» be necessary to maintain the present three basehouses. To eliminate any one of the trhee would create a gap in the Station's coverage that would not be compatible with the emphasis placed on this target. eh Ae bs)
