Contact and Communicattons a, Dally contact is maintained between the Case Officers and the agents in this project, These contacts are made. in a clandestine manner with varing patterns established tor car pickups, foot contacts, and emergency meetings, Pre-arranged signals are employed in setting and . accomplishing the meetings, When heavy or bulky material is to be passed, meetiogs are held at night. All movement in and out of the basehouses by the Case Officers and Principle Agents is done in cars ostensibly owned by _ agents, except in the case of LIVERY basehouse where the azents are too old to drive, Qne of the ind:genous agents is used to coaract “LIVERY hase, Entrance to basehouses on foor bv other thaa the residents of rhe house is . _ SECRET /LLPCX

A secondary factor is the fear of reprisal from the local police should discovery occur, Tra ining Initial training of new personel and refresher training for experienced agents is handled primarily by the outeide case officer, David M, WILSTED, Minor repalr and maintainance of equipment as well as emergency security procedures are stressed and continually reviewed with the agents, Equipment and Support_ It la believed that much of the technical equipment upon which the continued successful collection of LIFEAT material depends will require replacement in the near future, The largest percentage of this equipment has been In nearly continuous operation from the initiation of the project in January 1931 and much of this equipment is no longer being manufactured, When present limited commercial stecks of replacement parts are exhausted, new units will be required for LIFEAT, Timetable LIFEAT has been in almosi constaat operation since [ts inception in January 1951 and it (s planned to continue it indefinitely.
