1g 00000 _ a «SERED em ; oe 5 JUN 1969 MEMORANDUN FOR: Assistant Deputy Director for Plans _ THROUGH 3, MPS/BG SUBJECT ==—--:_—«*FY:1970 Renewal of Project LIEMPTY for $38,970 1. Project LIEMPTY, now in its eleventh year, is the Mexican Station's operation which provides visual and photographic survetl- lance of the Soviet Embassy from safehouses at the front entrance and back of the buiiding, as well as from a mobile unit. All Soviet personnel and their visitors coming to the Embassy are photographed. From 1 November 1967 to 3] December 1968, approximately 21,367 photo- graphs were taken and thousands of pages of surveillance reports were completed by personnel .in this project. SB Division is pleased with the quantity and quality of the photographs and the Station finds them useful for operational purposes against the SB target. During the past year several U.S. citizens entered the Soviet installation in Mexico City and thefr photographs were identified by the FBI. There is a good relationship between the Station and the FBI in Mexico City and appropriately sterilized photographs are passed locally. 2. There have been no significant security problems. ¢ 3. The only changes in the project have been the elimination of one of the safehouses, which was used as an observation post, and . termination of the agent who attended it. No real loss resulted from this change since the safehouse was so located that photographs taken - . : , from it overlapped those taken frem another safehouse. The agent who oO serviced the facility was getting too old to de an efficient job and was terminated amicably. Also during the past year a new agent was added to the project. ' 4, Total funds requested for FY 1970 are $38,970. Salaries and legally required bonuses for nine agents come to $30,080; safehouse rental and maintenance amounts te $6,188; maintenance of two vehicles, $1,200; and photo and operational expenses, $1,500. FY 1969 approval was for $43,520 and-estimated obligations for this period are $43,500. A new, $5,000 vehicle was purchased in FY 1969 and none is needed in FY 1970 which accounts for the reduction in costs for the present year, @ ry ep ere? he / freloded fat eetewstic SECR de 8 dazsgactng abd Gectacgitteatios
