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


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

           April  1947 (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 (L:DEAT)

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

           team  and a mail intercept operation.

                        a.  Phone taps were placed by an employee of the telephone company

                        who  was handled by David WILSTED (pseudo).  The number of lines

                        tapped  was listed by availability of a listening  ost nearby

                        (since  the taps were not made in the  ain  a        nd English/

                          Spanish (Soviet, Polish, Czechs ete)   aeribers. Generally

                          these agents  (most             Mexican American) were  related

                          (which             b .that time felt was good security in that

                          if  they ted 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

                          Northi.'est corner.of their compound and LIITED was diagonally

                          across  a double barrelled street on the Sout  Fn

                                                             0-164
