14-00000 5 ey wg Aya Ente om Qn 4. Intelligence Production: LIENVOY is one of the sost productive teTcphone tap projects in KUBARK of both FI and CE type information. From 1 February 1963 through 15 January 1964, this project has been the source of 309 poyitive. reports, 56 of which were not disseminated. LIENVOY-2 was the source of 16 reports, and the tap intercept program accounted for the renaine ing 293. No customer evaluations were requested, but WH/3 evaluates the product as being valuable and covering a wide range of topics difficult to cover through other sources. The types of reports originating from this Project include such matters as: LIENVOY-2: Communist and leftist activity in Mexico Communist publications tnternational congresses Nexican political activities LIENVOY: Communist and leftist personalities and activities in Mexico Travel Soviet and Satellite Activities in Mexico Cuban activities in Mexico and developments in Cuba . International conferences and delegates Communist Chinese activities in Mexico §. Effectiveness: In addition to the positive intelligence production this Projcct is the source of valuable CE information and operattonal leads. The intercept center covers 30 lines, all of which are of interest to KUBARK and approximately one-half of them are exclusively for KURARK. These 30 Lines include Mexican Communist and lettist leaders, Prensa Latina, the Local Security Service (Direccion Federal de Seguridad-DFS), 5 lines on the Soviet Embassy, 3 cn the Cuban Embassy, 2 on the Czech: Embassy, and since September 1963 there have been 3 on the Yugoslav Embassy. This center records an average of 525 recls per month, from which the tap center monitors prepare daily summaries of significant items gleaned fron all the lines. These daily resumes total between 100 to 150 pages per month, The tap center monitors prepare full transcripts in Spanish for the Cuban, Yugoslav, and Soviet Eabassy lines.

14-00000 SEGRE aga t the Station for passage to Station assets who translate the Soviet, Czech and Yugoslav portions. Coverage of the Cuban, Czech, Yugoslav and Soviet Embassies provide details of their personnel, their contacts, travel and other useful CE data. Information gained from this source has led to a successful recruitment in. the Yugoslay Bubassy during the past year. Examples of some important non-disseminable information obtained through LIENVOY during the past year are: a. During May, through LIENVOY, the Station uncovered a harrassment operation directed against the U.S. Embassy by the use of forged routine forms to embarrass the Embassy and known anti~Comaunists, b. Suveral contacts made by U.S. citizens with the Cuban and Soviet Embassies, and with Mexican Communists wero recorded, This information is given special dissemination to the FBI for their action. The most significant of these contacts was that by Lee OSWALD with the Cuban and Soviet Embassies in Mexico prior to the assassination of the late President KENNEDY. | OSWALD's contact was cabled to Headquarters on 8 October 1963 and this information was immediately disseminated to the appropriate ODYOKE offices, ec. During August LIENVOY contributed support to the REDWOOD AZJUMBO operation by providing information on contacts between principals involved in this sensitive SR operation. 6. Problems: There have been no significant security, cover, control, or ItaTson problems during the past year. 7. Liaison: This Project encompasses an unofficial liaison relationship with high-level | loff{ilcials which ontributes to the friendly attitude of | i On 23 Nevember, the day after the assassination of the e ocd Que te ak —
late President Kennedy, the Chief of Station alerted” Mexican officiais to selécted LIENVOY coverage of the Cuban Embassy which -concerned Lec OSWALD. As a result they took immediate action favorable to PBPRIME by making appropriate arrests, conducting interrogations, rejecting a Cuban Embassy protest note, and killing a Soviet propaganda effort to place the blame on minority groups in PBPRIME. In December 1963, a KUBARK official traveled to Mexico with a visual presentation concerning the Cuban arms cache in Venezucla,. There he gave a special briefing to LITENSOR, pointing out the authenticity of the Cuban origin of these arms, and thus contri- buting significantly to a reaction by the Mexican Government on this important inter-American matter favorable to ODYOKE. In connection with a | to several East and West European countries in March and April 1963, the Station was provided several briefin apers on these countries, prepared by KUMONK and KUWOLE, | | was al Ca EI cial We e so th through KUBAR channels if he so wished, 8 Inter-Agency Coordination: No formal inter-Agency co-~ ‘ordination Ts required in this Project. The Chief, PRBSWING, Mexico, is the only ODYOKE representative in Mexico outside KURARK who is aware of this project and its proviston for a Such matters as the special briefing on the arms cache in Venezuela were discussed in detail with him. 9. Plans: No significant operational changes are planned during the coming Project year. In December 1964 LITENSOR will probably be replaced by LITEMPO-2. This should cause no major adjustments since the Station is already on good terms with LITENPO-2 under the LITEMPO Project. It is anticipated that LITEMPO-2 will continue the intercept program without change. 10. Funds: Approval is requested for the renewal of the i. nn 2 weal
14-00000 Stic LIENVOY Project for the period 1 February 1964 through 31 January 1965 for a total of $47 068; $20.530 for FY 1964 and $26,538 for FY 1965. No additional funds are required for FY 1964 since sufficient funds remain from the past approval to cover the $20,530 required under this renewal request. 11. Recommendations: WH Division recommends renewal of this Project based upon the above memorandum and the attached field request. a) Nl. her AL cy, J. C. KING c/3HD arac ty Sis. wal
