Identification.  This is a technical (primarily photographic) surveillance
operation against the PERUMEN EBbassy in Mexico City.

Objectives.  The operation is designed to  (1) furnish photographic coverage
during daylight hours-of the entrances of the target installation,  (2)
dispatch physical surveillance teams against persons associated with the
target, and (3) keep in readiness a listening post for the monitoring and.
recordcing of eventual technical penetration operations of the target.

     The target installation is the PBRUMEN EBbassy compound  (including
Consulate) in Mexico City.  The above-listed objectives are accomplished by
two trained, full-time surveillance agents who live across the street from
the target,


         The project is in consonance with Priority A, Objective 1, of the
    current Related Mission.Directivelfor Mexico.

C.  Background. This project, herewith presented for approval for the firat time.
    does not represent a new operation.  LIONION activity has been Eoing on since
    1262 andcosts  have heretofore been charged to PBRUMEN FI funds.  The
    operation produces photographs of~persons associated with the PBRUMEN Embassy,
    both staff and visitors.  These pbotographs are normally reviewed for identi-
    fications by the PBRUMEN section at the Station, then shown separately to
    T=AM   gQand      I     who are
    They are subsequently forwarded to the CI section of WH/SA where they are :_own
    to PBRUMEN intelligence defectors ANNIP-l and ANMUG-l.  Of those assets to whom
    they are routinely shown, gPIgATgE  has to date made the largest number of
    ;.dentifications. The photos haveiproven of great value.  Within hours of the
    arrival of a new Embbassy staff member his photograph is in the hands of the
    Station.  In addition to the iden-ification of staff and visitors, the photos
    (accompanied by alog  kept by the LIONION agents) reveal patterns of action
    (arrivals and departures) and details of personal associations (who associn.t9s
    with whom) which are of great valie to the Station in mounting operations against
    the target.

         In addition to photography, :IONION-l and LIONION-2 are often called u on
    to do visual surveillance of the target installation and LIONION-1 is essential
    to the dispatching of the LIEBRACE  surveillance team against individuals
    Associated with the target.  Becaise of the presence of police patrol cars in
    the-vicinity, the Station's mobile surveillance assets cannot come close to the
    target, hence the need for LIONION-l's dispatching services.

         The presence of LIONION-1 and LIONION-2 also insures continued occupancy of
    a valued piece of real estate which will be used.as a listening post when the
    Station succeeds in installing additional technical surveillance devices in the
    target in the form of concealed radio transmitters.
