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


        1.             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 Soviet Embassy.  This umbrella type project (LIFEAT)

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

        team and a mail intercept operation.

                    a.  Phone taps were placed by'
                            handled  by David WIT      pseudo). The number  of lines

                    tapped was liked   by availability of a listening post nearby

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

                    Spanish   (Soviet, Polish, Czech, etc) 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. Three photo sites were 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

                      the street from the front gate of the Soviet Embassy which had

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

                      Northt'est corner. of their compound and LIMITED was diagonally

                      across a double barrelled street on the South1'p! . .
