               Mexico Station Coverage of Soviet and Cuban Embassies (1963)


               1. Unilateral Coverage:

                  From the time..the Mexico Station was opened in April 1947 until

        the arrival  of Mr. Win Scott as Chief of.Station in 1955, the Station had

        developed  a support apparatus to exploit leads from the Soviet Embassy in

        Mexico City.   This umbrella type project (LIPSTICK) consisted of multiline
