                     1. fl(Jiiateral Coverage:

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

               the arrival of Mr. Win Scott as Chief of.Station inT9 557, 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

               phone taps, three photographic sites, a mobile surveillance team and a

               mail intercept operation.

                        Telephone taps (LIFEAT) were placed by an    1  ef     lflapib

               teTephone company wh-o-w  handled by a Station case officer. The number

               of lines tapped was limited only by the availability of a listening post

               nearby and the availability of langauge (English, Spanish, Soviet, Polish,

               Czech, etc.) transcribers.  Generally, these were Mexican or Mexican-

               American recruited agents.

                        Three photographic sites were handled by a Station case officer

             ..assisted by technicians on TDY from Headquarters who advised the Station

               on the best .types of cameras, films, and concealment devices. These

               operations had sub-crypts under project LIPSTICK (namely: LIMITED, LILYRIC

               and LICALLA).  LIMITED was a fixed site directly opposite the Soviet Em-

               bassy (across the street) which had both a vehicle and a pedestrian en-

               trance.  The gate to the Soviet Embassy was on the northwest corner of the
