            Sioject:   Background on Mexico Station Support Assets
                       (Coverage of Soviet and Cuban Embassies)


            1.   Unilateral coverage.  From the time the Mexico Station was opened in

            April 19.7  (by Bill Doyle) until arrival of .Win Scott as COS in 1956, Charles

            Anderson  III (still in LA/HQ) had developed a support apparatus to

            exploit  leads from the¢ir  t    hEmhassy. This umbrella type project (LIFEAT)

            consisted  of multi line phone taps,   ree photo sites, a mobile surveillance

            team and a  mail intercept operation.

                         a.  Phone taps were placed    ah em  o ee of the telephone compan

                         who  wa  hwdled  by David WILSTED (pseud'o). The number of lines

                         tapped  was listed by availability of a listening post nearby

                         (since  the taps were not made in the main central) and English/

                           Spanish (Soviet, Polish, Czech, etc) transcribers.  Generally

                           these agents (mostly Mexican or Mexican American) were related

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

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


                           b.    ree 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  ,IFEAT (LIMITED, LILYRIC,

                           and LICALLA).  LIMITED was a fixed site bang opposite across
