During his visit to Scerct Service Headquarters WARE discovered that L-10 had not been booked or formally charged with an illegal act and that neither LIMON nor MENDIOLZA could recall L-10's name. L-10 was not placed in jail : during the 26 hours he waa at Secret Service Headquarters but, rather, was permuittad to remain in the Secret Service apentat duty roum, No bribes were necessary to obtain hia release; however, per LIMEW's request, $ 500,00 pesos were given to LIMEW to give to his source, LIMEW said that in addition to notifying him about L-10's detention, the source was aleo responsible for all equipment and film being -returned intact to L-10, ll, TESSAROLO wis advised, as soon ay LIMEW became involved in the cas that the criminal lawyer should not puraue the matter any further, ‘Two bottles of scotch whiakcy were given to the lawyer through TLSSAROLO for the few tasks he had already performed, 12, After his release, L-10 reported that he was not interrogated and that he did not reveal any data about other operations he hag worked on nor did he give 'the names of anybody connected with operational activitics, Based on the developments in the case, the Station has no reagon to doubt the veracity af L-10's statement,: L- 10 was reprimanded for his use of statements to the Secret Service about being , employed by GDACID, Tle was told that the revelation of such e:nployment was to be made ouly by the Station and that henceforth he is never te use such a cover story, L-10 was also reprimanded for his lack of judgment in remaining in an area where there was a strong concentration of police; it ia believed safe to asnume that L-i0 will never make this same mistake apain, 13, In retrospect, it is interesting to note that L-10's use of the ODACID employrnent story is possibly responsible for his not beans interrogated and thus compromising other operations and individuals, This case has pointed out to the Station the desireability of having casual contacts in the Secret Service and other lecal pelice-type organizations so that the Station, rather than ODACID aad ODIENVY, in the firat to learn of incidents of this type. Considering the multifarious activities handled by the Station, it rmust be assumed that the police will occasionally appre- hend an agent and that the Station must be geared to handle such emeryencies, L4, The Station is allowing a one month's cooling off period for the LIEN- TRAP vchicie and LIEMPTY-10, Vhe vehicle wil then be painted another standgrd color and re-resgistered in the State of Mexico, Alter these security precautions are observed, the Station aces no reason why carcfully selected photographic sur- vetlance operationg should not continue wich L-10 as a wiser and more pradent LIZ NTRAP operator, 7 4 shart rem kueeGs PON kr Willard C, CURTIS ‘GNO/ vps 15 October 13959 _ Distribution ao } Hqs AE ON Pe Ra fa Rm me pe seen seems [peers a FOE ty taste 3 i 4 PE lows H t ee Or ee es “+ sage f Be ee a fee i. -

S.). The oaly significant limitation that SCANTLING has evidence cd to his present Ca se Officer 1s his occasional delay in prepar ing written reports of investigations and other matters requiring reports forthe files, However, this limitation gradually is being overcome and it is expected that SCANTLING's reports will continue to be factual, comprehen sive and soan will be prompil y submitted, oS eney 3, Security Developments - SCANTLING is constantly under a conside: able amount of exposure and pressure when fo owing up LIMESA leads obtained from LIFEAT and the photogra phic buses, Since time is always of the essence when using such perishable leads, SCAN‘TLING frequently is directed to make approaches to individuals performing services for the LIME RICK target after routine, and sometimes only cursory, investigation, Therefore, the possibility always exists of his entanglement in an uncesirable security incident, This neces sarily
