Ly neee newraiion® el : Rey Even with the operational emphasis of the LIFEAT Project being on Station operational support, it is thought significant to include a list of HMM’s produced through May 1962 (approximately 10 months of the project year) as a by-product in the LIFEAT operation, HMM 6421 HM 6452 HMM 6479 HM 6499 HRM 6566 HMM 6605 HMM 6663 HMM 6667 HeM 6670 HM 6780 HPN 6914 HEM “69197 > HEM 6935 HMM 6936 HM 6937 HEM 6993 HMM 7OLL HMM 7005 HM 7043 HMM 7073 HMM 7106 HMM 7145 HM 7160 HMM 7214 EMM 7270 HEM 7310 HMM 7370
14-00000 ut PROJECT LIFEAT PROJECT OUTLINE, PART I area of Operations This operation is run from Mexico City Station and is concerned with targets located within Mexico City, . Purpose The purpose of this project is to provide, unilaterally, daily information on the activities of official foreign installations in Kexico ard the personnel thereof, as well as coverage of the activities of selected individuals and groups in response to both Station needs and Headquartera requests, Presently, LIFEAT stresses flexibility of coverage with support of Station operations and CI/CE coverage receiving the greatest emphasis. Background Project LIFEAT was originated on 3 October 1950 as a telephone tap - operation,...Actual- initiation of- operations under this authority occurred on 18 January 1951, and the operation has run continuously froa thedate, The project was opened with the installation of a single tap and haa grown in the past eleven years to coverage of as many as thirty lines in a given month, The LIFEAT Project is a operation campletely independent frem any arrangement, It ig staffed by KUBARK contract employees with the majority of personnel being indigenous gontrolled agents, During the past twelve years, Project LIFEAT has preduced more than 97,000 (estimate) pages of operational and intelligence information in direct mupport of Mexitec City Station's specific objectives, and contributed saterially to the intelligence gathering activities connected with the Soviet-Satellite Bloe and more recently with the Cuban representatives in Mexico, In addition, LIPEAT has been of cunsiderable value in monitering the activities of the American Cosmunist Group in Mexico (ACGM), as well as the activities of the exile groups and local Coamunista, With the LIENVOY'’s assumption of coverage of the Soviet and Czechoslovakian -offictal installations in July 1960, LIFEAT asseta were released from continnous coverage of these two targets, These assets were then employed in direct support of Station operations--a role ideally sulted for al —s«ésddoperation such as LIESAT, and extremely important to the security and success of Station operations,
