However, as a pre- cautionary measure, the LIENTRAP photographic unit was repainted (a basic color change) in January 1965. It is believed that this action will increase the security of the LIENTRAP unit and allow it to again operate in various areas where it had been used extensively in the past. b) There have been no major operational, personnel, or administrative problems in this Project during the reporting period. 5. PLANS. a) During the past project year, many of the operational assignments, levied on Oliver G.:SCANTLING, while within the realm of the Station's RMD, have fallen outside the scope of Project LIEMPTY. Consequently, a new Project Outline is being prepared at the Station to cover the relationship with, and the present and anticipated operational activities of SCANTLING.. — b) Anticipated changes in the LIMITED installation/activities were out- lined in paragraph @, Section ¢ above.
