At this same time LIONION-1 also phased into LIFEAT/LIERODE work and the two worked together as a team. In 1962 LIONION~1 and LIONION~2 worked together ; in processing the take of the LIFEAT /LIERODE/MKTRAP installation, now known as LICMEN. At this time their cryptonyms were changed from LILILY~1 and 2 to LIFauD-22 and 25, respectively.

Meetings, pre-arranged or signalled by innocuous phone calls. (calls from LIONION=-1 go through a telephone cut-out), are usually held at the LIONION-1 safe apartment. This apartment, which would appear to be a LIONION-1 love nest, is in another area of town. The Station KURIOT technician, . hugh T. FRANCOTTE, meets with LIONION-1 at least once a week. The Case Officer, Lawrence F. BARKER, meets with him less frequently. Whereas LIONION-1 knows the true name of the Case Officer, he does not know FRANCOTTE's true identity. E Security Evaluation. If either of the LIONION agents are uncovered by Mexican authorities as engaged in operations against the target, they have been briefed to indicate that they are working for an exile organization based in. the JMVAVE area on a voluntary, non-paid, patriotic basis and to stick to the story covering their income. This would probably hold up unless they were caught in flagrante with the XUORTOT automatic pulse camera on the premises. This camera is of such ' refinement and complexity as to be difficult to ascribe to an exile organization. In any event, LIONION-1 has a close relationship with an official of the Mexican president's office. This connection, developed by LIONION-1 for his own protection, enabled him to weather the tax investigation and can be used by him to overcome any ny .future difficulties with ieontties. a . | ne _ aT [AY sce BO , * -. - Under Mexican law, rt a.

Presumably they believe he is a Mexican. To avold operational compromise, he cannot renew his expired passport at the. PBRUMEN Consulate. For this reason the Station will request KURIOT in separate correspondence to prepare new passports: for both LIONION agents so that they may... travel outside Mexico. 9. ee ue Pee EE Ct ee Ede . v..
