         1. Unilatera, coverage. From the time the Mexico Station was ooened in

         April1947 (by Bill Doyle) until arrival of Win Scott as COS in 1956, Charles

         Anderson III (still in LA/HiQ) had developed a support apparatus to'r

         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 an emplo ee of the telephone company,

                   C  oa ha~ndled  by David WILSTED (pseud'o)., The number of lines

                   tapped  was lirited by availability of        post nearby

                   (since  the taps were not Ma           central) and English/

                     Spanish (Soviet           h, etc) transcribers. Generally

                     (which    station at that time felt was good security in that

                     if they talked about shop.,they would talk to each other.)
