104-10185-10159 cong NK me ree to TOFS Neat or AR Ee hie AAs Sane See 0 Ft Nets seed de bes 21 June 1966 MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, WH Division SUBJECT : Request for Termination of Project LICOOKY The LICOOKY Project was last approved for the period 1 January 1965 through 31 December 1965 for $5.140--$2,530 for FY 1965 and $2.610 for FY 1966. It is requested that the LICOOKY Project be terminated effective 1 January 1966, based on the following information geared to the outline in CSI-F NO. 230-60. (1) Project Name: LICOOKY (2) Original Project Objectives: Identify and report on plans, detivitics and asseciotes of Central American Communists resident in or visiting Mexico City. (3) Reason for Termination: LICOOKY-1 lost her access to the hard core group of CA communists partly because of her close association with LINLUCK who publicly renounced his break with the Guatemalan CP in 1962. The Loss of access was also partly due to L-l’s own apparent indiscretion vis-a-vis some of ner close triends in Mexico City. This can be attributed both to her own growing distaste for the grubby and blindly unreasonins members of this group with whom’ she was asked to consort. and her reaction in her $ociai gruup winidch tcoK the form increasingly of anti-Communist remarks, and to the concomitant (or possibly resultant) rumors uf increasing currency, that she was in the pay of PBSWING. Attempts were made to taxe advantage of her connections with literary circles in Mexico, but her inability to budget her time sufficiently to satisfy station requirements led to the decision to terminate her. A contributing cause was also her inability to rezuiarize her status in Mexico so the could accept a paying pesition which would give her reason to remain there, with the resultant strain.of the thin legend that her tather was providing her Support.

Detail and continuity have always been lacking. During the post-project period of asso- ciation, after termination notice was already given, she began to be more attentive to Station requirements anc supplied several rather detailed profiles of controversial persons in the intellec- tual world who could be of operational interest to the Station, (5) Pate of Termination: 1 January 1966 (6) Status of commitments: a a, LICOOKY-1: This Contract Agent is being a carried under LIRANCH (00A) from 1 January : through June 1866 to prepare special reports against non-LICOOKY Project objectives, Termination costs will be borne by Project LIRANCH, b. LITCOOKY-2: LICOOKY-2 was terminated on 31 December 1965 for lack of continuous produc— tion. He was very understanding when told of the termination and recognized that his limited anc occasional access made a regular salary illogical. Contact is maintained with him via a letter box through which he can indicate his need for case officer con=- tact. He is then paid small sums tor travel information supplied. (7) Disposition of funds, material and personnel: There are no tunds or material to be disposed of. LICOOKY-1 is beirg terminated effective 30 June 1966. At this time sne will be supplied with air fare from Mexico City to New York and paid the | income tax refund due her. Station owns some of the furnishings in her apartment and ske has expressed a wish tc purchase some of these. The normal three-bid process will be complied with in this case, through her advertising the sale and then offering slightly higher prices for -the-items. She plans to retain the apartment in Wexico and . sublet it furnished so she will have a pied-a-terre whenever she returns there. Her specific plans . for leaving the city are not known, The Station ° has no objections to her remaining in exico and SECRET
