                     (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 1951r, 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.  Fhone taps were placed byan empoe of the telephone company

                       .ho  washandled by David WILSTED (pseudo).  The number of lines

                       tap  ed was lirked by availability of a listenin  ost nearby

                       (since  the taps were not made in the               ad English/

                         these agents (most             Mexican Am rican) were related

                         (which                hat time felt was good security in that

                         if  they .ed 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,
