With rocard to events which might be considered as bearing on the sesurity of this project, the Station reported that on 15 June 1962, at approximately 9930, the concierge noticed two men standine directly acros the street from: the LF and who seamed to have an unusual interest in the activity of the LF. After abcut an hour both got in an automebile and con- tinued to watch the building from the car, and from timc to time appeared ‘to be bakine notes on the comings and goings of the installations, as vel] as making notes on the cars used by the personnel of the Lr. They attempted to follow one LF employee when he left for lunch. Later that day, LIENVOY-2 and LIENVOY-l: approached one of the two surveillance men and asked for an explanation of his action that day. They also asked him to identify himself. He. showed them a driver's license with the name Mariano VERA Gonzalez. This infernation was checked at the Department of Traffic and found to be the license of another person. The Traffic Department was staked out to deter- mine vho, if anyone, might show an interest in the names and addresses of the cars used by LP personnel. On the 16th of June, an agent of. the Secret Service of the Folice Headquarters’ showed up and tried to obtain information about the omer of the license plates on LIENVOY-2's car. The stake-out employee and Secret Service man checked the traffic files, but the information was not there. In conversation with the Secret Service man, information was gained which led the Station to suspect that he was a member of an investi- gative group headed by a Mexican whose aim is to obtain political information for Mexican politicians. Since the 15th, no further attempts to place the LP under observation have been noted. Any problems such as this can be handled, if necessary, by. the COS and his government contacts since this is a joint venture. 6. During the past project year, there have been 236 disseminations based on LIENVOY and LIENVOY-2 information: 200 from the former and 36 . from the latter. LIENVOY reporting covered such topics as: a. Activities of Mexican leftists such as b. World Pea@e Council. ¢. Soviet and Czech activities in Mexico. d. Activities of Soviet and Czech officials in lexico. e. National Liberation Movement (MLN).

Intelligence Production, The activities report forwarded to Headquarters each month lists the intelligence reports received from this project, During 1962 there were 534 intelligence reports produced by this project which were forwarded to Headquarters throurh .1 December 1962, All of these concerned RMDM-6 reporting priorities and current requirements levied by Headquarters and the ODACID installation,, ‘In addition, this project produces a large amount of information which is not disseminated on a current basis but is reported to ODACID, ' ODENVY and other ODYOKE arpencies in reply. to a steady stream of routine file trace requests, These file trace requests mm into the thousands each month, It would be difficult to determine the exact percentage of the information produced by LIENVOY; but in. many instances involving prominent Mexican Government officials, large portions of the file. came to us through LIENVOY coverage, D. Effectiveness, The LIENVOY project provides the Station with a channel to the hich is both effective and Yapid aS Well as Covert. The Station Continues to receive the daily "resumen" highlights from the thirty (30) lines covered. A high percentage of current intelligence is disseminated from these daily reports, In addition, full transcripts are received on Soviet and Czech lines and on any of the thirty targets we may request. A food part of this is personality data useful only to KUBARK and in some cases to ODENVY. In addition, the project provides a support mechanism for covering targets of interest to KUBARK or other ODYOKE agencies, E. Problems. There have been no significant security, cover, control or liaison problems during the past year, F, Liaison, From a liaison point of view, the Station believes that this project contributes rreatly to the present friendly attitude of the Mexican Covernment lcaders toward ODYOKE policies, ‘the liaison remains | ne in nature though contacts between the Chief of Station and are usually made at the request of the Chief, ODACID, Mexico, G..
