         Subject:   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 1947  (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'     i

         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 employee of the telephone  company

                     who  wa5 handled by David WILSTED (pseudo).  The number  of lines

                     tapped  was lirxted 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. Three  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 LIFEAT (LIMITED, LILYRIC,

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

                       the street from the front gate of the Soviet Embassy which had

                       both a vehicle and foot entrance. The Soviet gate 'was on the

                       orthest  corner. of their compound and LIMITED was diagonally

                       across a double barrelled street on the Sout1'94 ° '
