$0 JAN 1968 ‘MEMORANDUM FOR: Assistant Deputy Director Plans SUBJECT: Supplementary Appropriation for LIEMPTY It is requested that the figures in the attached field- project renewal be amended and that an additional $26,205 be approved to cover the period 1 December 1966 through 30 dune 1969 in order to carry the LIEMPTY Project to the end of a fiscal year. This sum is identical to that requested for a similar period in 19868 as there is no present justification for projecting any change in the financial requirements, The supplement would bring the cost of LIEMPTY to a total of $69,725 for 19 months. bu 0.

NN IN gw USS See pear a UNS LOe re MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Plans ‘SUBJECT : LIEMPTY Project Renewal 1. Renewal of Project LIEMPTY for the period 1 Decem- ber 1967 through 30 November 1968 in the amount of $43,520 is hereby requested. $26,205 would be spent in FY 1968 and $17,315 in FY 1969. The project was budgeted for $45,000 for FY 1968; funds are available within the Division. Estimated costs for the coming project year are a little less than the amount programmed for the previous year and a little more than what was actually disbursed, 4200 777 ° 2. \LIEMPTY is designed to provide physical surveil- lance of the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. It covers three Nearby properties (two in front of the Embassy's sole entrance and one behind the garden) from which visual and photographic surveillance are carricd. out by experienced personnel, The project also covers a darkroom where a technician processes the photographs. In addition to collecting this basic informa~ tion on a primary target., certain of the LIEMPTY personnel are also available for miscellaneous support tasks, such as servicing postal boxes, and running fixed and moving surveil- lances, The photo truck which comes under the project is used on other targets as well, such as CP members, satellite embassies, and Latin American exiles. One of the basehouses is also used as a radio dispatch point for the LIEMBRACE sur- velllance tenm, but this function has been minimized during the past year in an effort to prevent Soviet interception of the signal. 3. a. The Mexican desk asked the appropriate opera~ tional component of SB Division for specific comment on the value of LIEMPTY, and received the following: "This rather unique operation has unquestionably made a major contribu- tion to the increasingly effective Soviet Operations program of the Mexico Station. On the positive Side its principal value lies.in the identification of the Mexican and ire kacigdsd ian astemaiie dowrrecisg acd § E Cc R E T decthagifcatina
