104-10428-10017 JFK Assassination Records Archives 1 (01/01/1963)

handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch48564 and id is 1 raw text is: 104-10428-10017 PHOTOGRAPHIC SURVEILLANCE OF THE CUBAN AND SOVIET DIPLOMATIC INSTALLATIONS During the period when OSWALD was in Mexico City - 27 September to 2 October 1963 - there were three bases set up to photograph visitors entering and leaving the Cuban and Soviet diplomatic installations. Two bases - LIMITED and LILYRIC - were targetted against the .main entrance into the Soviet compound; one base - LIONION - was targetted against the entrance to the Cuban Embassy. A second base to cover the street entrance to the Cuban Consulate was being established on 27 September. Until the 27th the entrance to the Cuban Consulate had never been covered; in fact, the door had been closed from November 1962 until 7 August 1963 as a result of an incident in 1962 directed against the Cuban Embassy. Although records exist on the three above operations, the records are incomplete and are qps? consistent only in their inconsistency. It is, for example, impossible to re- concile operational reporting with operational activity as shown in/ the logs covering photographic surveillance of the Cuban and Soviet installations. SOVIET EMBASSY AND CONSULATE In 1963, the Soviet Embassy and Consulate were located (and still are) located at Calle Calzada Tabcucaya 204, Mexico City. A twenty-four guard protected the entrance to the compound. According to Agency -records, the Embassy and Consulate were not open to the public; offices in the Soviet compound could be visited by appointment only. Visitors rang the bell at the main entrance at all hours. Russian-speaking visitors were permitted to enter at any time; others were usually turned away by the guard after normal working hours. Normal working hours during September 1963, when Lee Harvey OSWALD visited the Soviet Consulate, were from 0900 to 1800. Later, the hours for Mondays and Fridays were changed to 0900 to 1400 hours.
