On 23 July 1967, Raymond H, GERENDE, principal agent for the LIEWTY project, was introduced to his new case officer, Vincent P, BU2AUTO, The major reason for the change in case officers was to briag the LIEMPTY project into the section which it is largeir designed to support, the RSDTOP section, In the three-month seriod covered by this progress report, GERENDS was met by the case officer 32 times, Mcetiugs were normally pre<- arranged, #ith times and sites varied (with the introduction of the new case officer, most of the former regular meeting sites were dropnes and new ones substituted). Neetings were occasionally arranged vis telephone, in which.case a prearranged code was used. Due to GERENDZ's MHRAVEL activity (see below) it was not always possible to stick to a fixed meeting schedule, s 2. GERINDE met with LIEMPTYs-4, 9, and 13 on a twice-na-week basis, and LIEMPTY-~G once per week during this period, These meetings wert? prearranged, AS explained below, GERENDS no longer meets LIEMPSY 10. eseee continued pistributicct: p2= C/NE apt 2- C/SS Ae To $fefuart : a eens poe CROSS REFERENCE TO pe FUsOL AND NUMBER CLASHFICATIOM HOS FILE NUMBER .

LICALLA . rice. # 4, LUpTy-9, the operator of the LICALLA base house, pro- vided 1,285 gperational photographs during this period. In addition, he provided fixed surveillance reports, sighting reports, and special notes and comments, LIEMPTY=-9 has proven himself to be a reliable and perceptive reporter of the events he observes, For this reason, he has been asked to provide special coverage on various individuals of interest, or on particular days when cover= age 1g desired. The Station has found the LICALLA reports to be consistently useful in determining the presence, activities, and personal associations of target personnel, In part this is due to the location of the LICALLA base house, but it is also due to the interest, effort, and judgement of LIEMPTY-9 hinseli, Galeedad free . , Ny hal LILYRIC | Wg 5. The LILYRIC pas house has been a prolific provider of operational photos, 4.074 having been submitted in the period under review. While there 1s oceastonally superfluous coverage of visiting sports and cultural delegations (and LILYRIC personnel have been. instructed to be more selective in this respect) the blanket coverage afforded by this base house eunrantees that nothing will be missed during normal working hours. ‘the tixed surveillance reports are voluminous, highly accurate, and quite valuable. Cn three separate oeceasions during the reporting period LILYRIC alerted the Station to the presence of American visitors at the target installation. LIMITED Fekete G, The efficiency of the LIMITED base house has sutfered a slow decline, LIEMPTY-6 has been out of action tor short periods because of itiness and a physical examination, The physical, however, showed that he 1y in good health and we look for an improvement in his performance in the next reporting period, flig surveillance reports are not entirely reliable due to a : tendency to agsume thaf the normal occupant of a certain car is, in fact, in that car, His photos, however, continue to be useful, LIENTRAP 7. As noted in HMMA-33279, 13 Cctober 1967, the LIENTRAP photo vehicle, operated by LIEMPTY-10 and LIEMPTY~1L1l, is now in direct contact with LIEMBRACe-1, leader of the LIEWBRACE surveil- lance team, This arrangement, which began in mid-August 1967, has proved to be a very hapgy onc operationally. In addition to permitting more flexible use of LIENTRAP for Station requirements across the board, it has left CERENDE more time to devote to other duties (see below). : PHOTO LAB . 8, LIemPTY-{ has continued to process the photos taken by the base houses, and in addition made 269 enlargements in the period under review. During this period, the phote lab was moved to LIEMPTY-4'S office because cf renevations going en in GERENDE's house, LIEMPTY-4 processes the photos after working hours, and keeps the equipment and photos Locked away during the day. As LIEMPTY-4's office is in his home, the equipment and photos are not left unguarded over night. GERENDE 9, AS reported in reference, GERENDE had been developing

This eventually culminated in an attempted recruitment of the prospect \by GERENDS. Although the attempt was unsuccessful, GERENDE exhibited considerable resourcefulness and operational skill in developing the target to a point where the recruitment attempt was possible. We plan to use GERENDE in similar roles in the future as opportunities -arise, and for this reason we plan to document him with a set of false Mexican documentation as well as a set of false American documentation, GERSNDE is collecting exemplars and getting the background intormation needed, and once the necessary data are assembled, Headquarters (WOACRE) support will be requested. 4 10. GERENDE has continued to provide support for the JRO operation as needed. ll. In September and-October 1967 GERENDE was employed by the Mexican WHRAVEL committee, He was able to get assigned as aide to the DIZTAG delegation. in this capacity he was able to supplement very nicely the information and support being provided by Jeremy S. HODAPP, This foot-in-the-door came in very handy, and is expected to be even more vaiuable in 1968, if GERENDA can get the position again. While the job was rather time-consuming we believe that it was well worth it. 12, In connection with his duties with MHRAVEL, as well as in connection with the fact that his WOFIRN activities are nearly 100% against the FISTEAL target, GERENDE was given a very general briefing on the Station's REDTOP program. It is our hope that, in having a better idea of what the Station is trying to do in this field, GERENDE will be able to make an even greater contrie- bution to that program than he has in the past. for/Willard C.
