Headquarters ie requested to select a suitable contract or Staff Agent to replace Raymond H. GERENDE as leader of the LIJERSEY surveillance team. From the security standpoint, it is essential that GERENDE be relieved _ oo. of this responsibility. The individual selected by Headquarters to M111 the wi slot formerly occupied by Nilfred 0. CLOWER (BAP-8100) should have had : experience in aurveillance operations and should apeak Spanish fluently.
14-00000 CRYPTONYM  LIEMPrY PART I “4. Area of Operations fhe general area of operations will be Mexico and the epesific area will be Mexico, D.F., Mexico. 2. Purpose - ‘Fhe purpose of this project is to provide a mechant em for the development of operational information in support of other Station operations. This purpose is in eongonance with the Related Mission Directive for Mexico. 3- Background As the reviewing authorities will be aware, this project includes several operationa which were formerly carried under Projects LIPSTICK and LIJERSETY. Partially ag a result of the June 1958 LIPSTICK compromise, when three surveillance team members were apprehended and placedin custody by the Mexican Police, and additionally as a means for the orderly administration of assets, this new project is eubmitted. , There follovs below a background sketch of the separate support assets, exeluding details concerning personnel which will be discussed later in the outline, which the Station proposes for inclusion in LIEMPTY: LIMITED - The LIMITED Base is located in such a position acrogs the street from the [CYMERICK installation that photogrephs can easily be made of persons enter ing and leaving the LINERICK main gate. These photographs are later developed and printed by LIEMPTY-4, then returned to the LIMITED operator for the proper annotations. After receipt of the photographe by the Station, the Case Officer reviews them for LIMESA leads, newly arrived LIMERICK personnel, local and other nationale of possible operational interest and PEPRIME citizens who have viaited LIMERICK. KUBARK owns the property housing the LIMITED Base, having purchased it in mid- 1955; however, the ostensible owner is LIMOUSINE, to whom LIEMPTY-6 pays hia rent each month through LIMOUSINE's benk. LIMITED, with LIENMPTY-6 as base house operator, has been operating Gr nearly three years and hag not yet been involved in a compromising security situation. Prior to April 1955, when Headquartérs authorized the purchase of the LIMITED Base, the Stution rented the Bage and used LIPSTICK-7 (later LIMESTONE-6 in LIFEAT Project and now terminated) as the operator. This arrangement was in effect for about two years.

As inthe case of the LIMITED Base, LILYRIC takes photographs of 4, ‘persons entering ena Leaving” the main gate of the LIMERICK installation, The - a . . a4 -; LELYRIC photographs. are hazidled in the game manner as the LIMITED pictures. In additiod to taking photograplis, the LILYRIC operators aleo prepare daily logs on the?” - saryise ‘ef egely-LINSRICK employee, -yecord the Licease plate numbers of most cars* ; ng pecple to end from the LIMERICK dnstallation; and prepare an observation ~ : ron: all-target pergonnél seen éach day. (This permits the Station to tell when ; “a target “personality is out of town or not working for some other reason.) The LILyrre Base “WES originally acquired and made operative to provide for _-continudus’ eeverage of the target in the event LIMITED is ever compromised. This is still the primary value of having two bases cover the same portion of the target. LILYRIC ia- compartnented fron LIMITED and with the possible exception of GENENDE sould probably weather any security flap involving LIMITED. Obviously, there is ‘some duplication in the vork of LIMITED and LILYRIC; however, the insurance value cf having two basis is quite apparent. Ney EILYRIC bas been operating for about two and one-half years and insofar ag the Station knews, no compromising security situations have arisen. GICALEA ~ fhe LICALLA Base is located in @ position where photographs can be teken of people within the LIMERICK garden| grea. In addition, the operator of the ‘LICALLA Base subaite weekly reports cn’ LIMERICK construction work, daily logs show- ing when a target individual was seen that day, and reports showing the association of target individuals with one another. LICALLA photographs are processed and handled in the same manner and by the people who handle the LIMITED ang LILYRIC pictures. . The LICALLA Base was acquired and operations began sbout two and one-half years ago with the primary purpose of obtaining additional operational information concerning LIMERICK personnel, and operational leads which could be exploited for the physical penetration of the LIMSRICK installation. Approximately one year ago y 7 the LICALLA, Base was purchased by KUBARK through LIMOUSINE. LICALLA will probably remain at its present locatich and will continue to subait photographs and reports of the same type as are nov being submitted. Other than the fact that LIEMPTY-9, the LICALIA operator, is the brother of former LIPSTICK-47, no security problems are ' eurrently known to the Case Officer. However, reports from LIPSPICK2 12 and 30, the local police, the attorneys involved in the case, the foreign embassy concerned and the LOPLUTTER teste give no indications that LIEMPTY-9 was ever mentioned during the LIPSTICK flap. LOENTRAP » This is a panel type truck equipped with cameras, telescopic . lens and other types of photographic equipment. It has been used during the past i two years as an investigative asset. The truck ia parked about 75 yards fron a ‘target of interest (ugually a residence or apartment building) and the photographer in the rear of the truck photographs individuals or things of interest to the Station. LIENTRAP is a valuable asset for any station to have and has enabled this Station to get pictures of individuals which could have been obtained in no other way.

Provision’ for this is made ia Section 15 of thie Field Project > Outline. °° 07 SE wae aches LIJERSEY = 4 This is presently an approved project; however, it is believed advisable. for administrative efficiency to include the LIJERSEY aseeta within the .framework of the LIEMPTY Project. Other - than LILYRIC, which has already been : I . discussed, LIJERSEY consists of a foot surveillance team with three members, LIEMPTYs- an .- 25, -16 ana 17. LIEMPTYs a5. and 16 have been employed for about one end a half years - , end LIEMPTY-l7 for ‘about cone year. They have not developed into as competent a surveil- lance team ag the LIPSTICK tea Was and probably never will become as good. The . LIJERSEY team has been “ised mostly for stationary gurveillances and observations of people of interest. LIEMPTY-17, however, has also been used as a pretext investigator. Re bas excelled at this type of work and the Station continues to use him in this capacity. The, Station has been reluctant to use the LIJERSBY team as much ag it . could have been used because of the cldésé association of the team with GERENDE and, ~ in turn, GERENDE'sa knowledge and work: on LIFZAT and the LIPSTICK surveillance tean. ' The Station plans to recruit several agents of a type and social level more suitable for all types of surveillance work than the present LIJERSEY team. a . Oliver G. ACANTLING - SCANTLING has been associated with KUBARK for several. . “ yeers in a number of different capacities, He was originally used as a member of , the LIPSTICK surveillance team and later was head of the same team. He has been used to train new agents in the techniques of surveillance and investigation, to acquire offices space and apartments for the Station's operations and to conduct investigations and make recruituent approaches to individuals of operational interest to KUBARK. SCANTLING is currently being used by the Station as an investigator of LIMESA leads andis still actively pursuing the LIMESA/MKLIGETING operation. SCANTLING alec maintains regular contact with LIRMPTY-3 and monitora his elicitation effort against the LICOOL-6 target. In thia connection, both SCANTLING and LIEMPTY-3 meet regularly with Doria M. KILLGO for operational guidance. (Bote: Please see the LICOOL Fietd Project Outline for additional details on LICOOL-6).- . . 4, References: @. LIPSTICK Project Outline and operational papers. ‘-b.
