                MEMORANDUM  FOR THE RECORD

                Subject:    LIONION Photographic Operation;
                            Targeted Against Cuban Consulate


                 SUMMARY

                     Available  records show that the VLS-2, an automatic
                 camera device, was in process of being installed at the
                 LIONION basehouse on 27 September 1963. This device was
                 to be used with the K-100 16 mm. movie camera or the
                 Robot Star 35 mm. still camera. These systems were aimed
                 at the gate of the Cuban Consulate. The first test pictures
                 were sent to Headquarters as attachments to HMMA-22433 on
                 7 November 1963. One of the attachments,  (A), shows the
                 VLS-2 coverage of the Consulate gate. Obvious  in this
                 photograph is a sign indicating the hours of the Consulate
                 (for visas). The hours are 10:00 to 2:00, Monday through
                 Friday. The date this test photograph was taken is un-
                 known. A  later monthly report for 1 - 31 December 1963,
                 (HMMA-22726), discusses the installation of a SEQUENCE
                 camera on 17 December 1963 with hours of operation against
                 the Consulate 0900 to 1400, office hours of the Consulate.
                 Subsequent monthly reports confirm that the SEQUENCE camera
                 was indeed the Pulse Camera. The record, then, shows:

                     A. The Pulse Camera was installed, for the
                        first time, on 17 December 1963.

                     B. No coverage of the Consulate existed prior
                        to 27 September 1963 when the VLS-2 and
                        K-100 or Robot Star systems were being in-
                        stalled during the morning.
