Also, LIMITED maintains a summary attendance list of LIMERICK employees on a dally basis; this enables the Station quickly to ascertain the presence or absence of an employee on any given day, . Finally, one other significant service ts performed hy this base, the radio dispatching of the LIEMBRACE surveillance team on LIMERICK personnel and targets of opportunity, LIMITED's photographic coverage ts still concentrated on visitors, as opposed to employees, to the LIMERICK installation, A recent example of the base's contributions to Station efforts is the case of Joseph Ralph MAURI. In this case, a LIENVOY lead indicated that an American might visit - the LIMERICK target on a certain day, The base was alerted to dispatch the radio-controlled survelilance team on any person appearing to be an American, The results of this assignment were indicated in MEXI-6392 and several other cables, LIMITED was also able to provide photographs, which when compared with photographs provided by Head- quarters, left no question as to MAURI's identity, | b, LILYRIC - This base's ourput of high-quality clandestine photographs has been in about the same quantity as last year. In addition, the base operator, LLIEMPTY-14, prepares weekly reports on LIMERICK empioyees and thelr wives, TILYRIC 4inu performs the assignment of noting and reporting the license plate numbers of all cars bringing visitors to the’ LIMERICK installation, LILYRIC photograplis also are con- centrated on visitors to the target, as opposed ro employees, Ic should be noted that LILYRIC operates for photographic coverage during the hours from daylight to 1400 hours each .. day of the week except Sunday, The LIMITED base maintains photographic coverage from [400 hours to darkness each day except Sunday, c.

"To collect operational information and identify operational leadg pertaining to Station targets of opportunity." The LLENTRAP operation, : ; handled by GERENDE, ts the major contriburor to this objective, Ir ! has been possible for LIENTRAP to take photographs and to perform pretext Investigetions in support of numerous Station activittes, ‘The cases listed below are cited as examples: a, Inthe case of Cesar GONZALEZ Sanchez (see 1, A,3,a, above) LUENTRAP was able to procure photographs of GONZALEZ at his Mexico City residence which, when compared to Headquarters provided. photographs, lett no doubt that GONZALEZ was the subject of interest to Headquarters, b, LIENTRAP confirmed the identity of Olga CASTILLO de Ledon, a frequent visitor to the LIMERICK installation and an ardent supporter of the present Cuban regime, through a pretext investigation of the residents of an apart ment building where CASTILLO was believed to live. Later, LIENTRAP supported the results of the Investigation with excellent photographs of the subject, ‘ - 3. “To provide operational support to Station operations, i,e., rent hotel roorns and apartments, and conduct counter-surveillances, " GERENDE is used frequently to rent hotel rooms and apartments for other Station operations and activities, GERENDE's comprehensive area knowledge and personal operational capabilities combine to make him an extremely valuable Station asset for such support activities.

It is the Station's conclusion that the money and case officer time expended on this segment of the LIEMPTY project is worthwhile and should be continued in view of the quality and quantity of operational information produced, ‘Simon D, CLACKETT Segment (discussed in relation to project objectives); l, “To collect operational information and to identify operational leads pertaining to the LIMERICK target and Station targets.of opportunity, “ During this project year the LIERSEY survetllance team under the direction of CLACKETT began contributing to the Station's support efforts through pretext Investigations and physical surveUllances, Some examples of the team's work are sted below: a, Rafael TISCHLER Guzman (201-64372) is a Guatemalan Cominunist which the team had under surveillance from November 1959 to April 1960, The survelllance, together with Information acquired from other sources, eventually resuited in anunsuccessful recruitment attempt on TISCHLER, b, Pericles FRANCO Ornes (201-64546) - FRANCO Is a Dominican of interest to the Station. The LIJERSEY team devoted portions of five mouths, January to May 1960, collecting Information on subject through physical surveillance, c. Jose Maria "Chema”" LOPEZ Valdizon (201- ) was the subject of a physical surveillance during May and june 1960, LOPEZ was iater deported from NMiexive ihwoiigh the efforts of LITEMPO-2, dg. CLACKETT and the LIJERSEY team performed numerous pretext Investigations on Station targets cf opportunity and on three separate occasions during the project year served as Oy a counter-surveillance escort for Station officers in other operations, 2, CLACKETT, just prior to his resignation in August 1960, spent about five weeks giving tradecraft and operational skills training to pt LITEA-1, Although not specifically covered by the project objectives, : this ability on CLACKETT's part is considered a significant con- tribution to the Station's support efforts,

Relationship to Related Misston Directive Objectives: It can readily be noted that Project LIEMPTY has provided support to many Statton operations and in this manner has been a contributing factor to the furtherance of the Related Mission Directive, The project has not produced any positive intelligence nor has it becn thtended that it should do so, The project's sole purpose {s to provide a mechanism for the development of operational tnformation in support of other Station operations, CHANGES A. Stmou D, CLACKETT The unexpected resignation of CLACKETT in August 1960 has necessitated the decision aa how best to utilize the LIIERSEY surveillance team and still benefit from the training and expertence gained by the team during the past year. As explained In the LITEMPO project outline, it was decided that the LITEMPO Staff Agent would have the time, the need and the requirements to handle and manage the LUEERSEY tcam on a regular basis; consequently, the Station belleved that such a solution to this problem would permit the Station tu cuuiluue io profit from CLACKETT's past efforts, B.
