dD. to 4 Operational Assets, (Personnel). LIONION-1 is a young PRAUMEN lawyer : in exile. - He left PBRUMEN in 1960, -planning to continue on via Mexico to the TEited States where he resided in his early yoarse His two brothers are American citizens, one a desk of fficer in the Department of Commerce.in Washinst:c. the other a police offielal in Tampa, Floride. While in Mexico LIGNICN-i wes recruited, aa LILILY-1, to ‘perform PBRUMEN. operational suppert servires for the Station and, once having a taste of clandestine activity, decided t2-remin in Mexico. LIONION-2, his mother, was recfuited in 1961, as LILILY-2. as a basehouse occupant and operator in.the LIFEAT/LI“MRODS tecknical ‘peration aimed at the PBRUMEN Embassy. At this same time LIONTON-1 also Fehased into LIPFEAT/LIER ODS work and the two worked together as a team. In l3c2 LIONION-1 and LIONION-2 worked together in processing the take of the LIFZcT/LIERGDE/MKTRAP installation, now known as LIOMEN. At this tize their eryoiccyms wera changed from LILILY-1 and -2 to LIFMUD-22 and 23, respectively. In th: latter part of 1962 the two agents began the present photographic surveillance operation. LIONION-1 was granted an GA on 16 Mer L362 by HMMV-1066h. He was LCFLUTTERED on 8 October 1963, HMMN-L2005. LIONION-2 was granted en OA on 16 May 1262 by HMMW-10660. LIONION-1 is the mainstay ef the operszion, LIONION-2 acts as bis assistant and fill-in at such times as he is absent trom the observation post. Bota serve principally as observers and photosraphers. LIONION-1 also acts as a dispatcher for the LIEMBRACE surveillance team from wich he is compartmented. Dispatching - £3 done by radio using pre-arvransed imnocucns code terminolosy; the team does not know LIONION-L or nls piveise § Location. IISNION-1 also procecses on the premises all photographic coverage of the main Snhassy gate through final printing, cropping and mounting. Photographic coverage of the consulate gate is processed through the negative development stage. Control is primarily financial buttressed by the knowledge, on the part of the agemts, thet eg PBRUMEN reficess ther s-@ vulnerable to pressure which aight be brought upon them by KUBARK through the Mexican government should they get out of line, Motivation is a combination of Titanclal necessity and violent aversion to, and determination to bring about the i-murall of, the AMPHUG regime. An vos additional motivating factor is that both agents actually enjoy what for many would be monotonous work. Psycholosically, they are ideally suited to this sort of work. Both agents realize that they are woriics for PBPRIME intellisence; LIONION-1 appears to be aware that he is working for TYSARK. The cover utilized by LIONION-2 is that of dependent mother. LLONTON-1 nesses as a would-be writer who can afford to dabble without notable publishing sucerss tecause of family landholdings in Tampa, Florida (inherited from his deceasai father), which enable hin to Live as a "rentista,” one who lives on income fram scurces other than gainful exployment. His rentista status is registered with the Mexican government. In Octover 1964 this cover successfully withstoal intensive investigation by Mexican euthorities checking on persons of questionable status ior tax collection purposes. The Station plans to bolster the writing cover *lth supporting documents from a literary agent in New York City; these wilt ce requested in separate correspondence. Mu * te Rats ibe ~- “UA
PB, tree, teas SLA Rp id wa whe - Coumuriication is primarily with LIONION-1; with LIONION-2 only in his absence. Meetings, pre-arranged or. signalled by innocuous phone calle (calls fron LIONION-L.go through a telephone cut-out), are usually held at the LIONION-1 safé apartment. This apartzent, which would appear to be a LIONION-1 _ love nest, isin’ anothor area of town. The Station KURIOL technician, - Hugh T. FRANCOTTE, mects with LIONION-l at least once a week. The Case Officer, wake ’ Lawrence F. BARKER, meets. with him less: frequently. Whereas LIGHION-1 knows the true name of the Case Officer, he. does not know FRANCOTTE's true identity. Secur ity Evaluation. te either. of the LIONTON agénte are uncovered by Mexican authorities as engaged in operations against the target, they have’ been briefed to indicate that they are working: for an exile orranization based in the JMWAVE area on @ voluntary, non-pald, patrhotic basis and to stick to the story covering their incone, This would probably ‘Hold up unless tiey were caught in flacrante Mith the KURIOL automatic pulse camera on the premises. This camera is of such refinement and complexity as to be difficult to ascribe to an exile organization. In any event, LIONION-1 has a close relationship with an official of the Mexican president's office. This connection, developed by LICNION-1 for his om prvutection, enabled him to weather the tax investigation and can be used by him to ovorcome any future difficulties with Mexican authorities. Under Mexican law, the principal (photographic) activity of the project is not illegal, therefore uncovering of the photographic operation would not of itself result in arrest or prosecution. It is usually possible to stave off investigation or house search for a pertod of time sufficient to remove compromls- ing material from the premises. The LIONION base house was once cleaned completely in one evening and could agein be cleaned, Brobably in lees time, if circumstances should warrant. The target installation is aware that photo curvelllance ‘te & probability. On one occasion AMKNOB-1, a JMWAVE asset, was shown a nearby building (not the LIONICN base) by a PRRUMEN Eiabassy officer and told that it was a KUBARK photo base. LIONION-1 is known hy night to some PHRUMEN Eebacsy iter? Perouwel whe heave observed him in the neighborhood. Presumably they belleve he is a Mexican. ‘To avoid operational compromise, he cannot renew his expired passport at the PBRUMEN Consulate. For this reason the Station will request KURIOL in separate - correspondence to prepare new passports for both LICHION agents so that they may travel outside Mexico. Security measures employed in this operation are designed to make it virtually , impossible for any opposition service to link LICNION personnel with the Station. Coordination. Coordination witn other PBPRIME elements or the Mexican government is not necessary at this time and none is envisaged.
