           Suoject:  Background on Mexico Station Support Assets
                      (Coverage of Soviet and Cuban Embassies)


           1.   Unilateral coverage. From the time the Mexico Station was opened in

                       (by Bill Doyle) until arrival of Win Scott as COS in 1956. Charles

           Anderson  III (still in LA/HQ) had developed a support apparatus to

           exploit leads from the SietEmbassy. This umbrella type project (LIFEAT)

           consisted  of multi line phone taps,  ree photo sites, a mobile surveillance

           team and a mail  intercept operation.

                       a.   Phone taps were placed   ahie   o es of t  te compan

                                handled by David WILSTED (pseud'o). The number of lines

                        tapped was li  ed by availability of a listening post nearby

                        (since the taps were not made in the main central) and English/

                        Spanish   (Soviet, Polish, Czech, eto) transcribers. Generally

                        these  agents  (mostly Mexican or Mexican American) were related

                          (which the station at that time felt was good security in that

                          if they talked about- shop, they would talk to each other.)


                          b.    rphoto   siteswere  handled by Anderson with the help

                          of Harry Mahoney (retired, living in Chicago) and TDY TSD

                          people checking the best type of camera, film, and concealment

                          devices. These had sub-cripts under LIFEAT (LIMITED, LILYRIC,

                          and LICALLA). LIMITED was a fixed site bang opposite across

                          both a vehicle and foot entrance. The Soviet gate was on the

                          NorthUest corner. of their compound and LIITED was diagonally
