Cryptonym: KDAFGHAN-1
104-10091-10005: PROGRESS REPORT: 1 JULY - 30 SEPTEMBER 1971
9/29/71, Progress Report from Chief, Mexico City to Chief, WHD: "Present ADAFGHAN routine: Visual coverage of the entrance to the Cuban embassy is provided from 0900 to 1800 (the approximate hour at which the lighting conditions prevent further photography with the present equipment.) Embassy hours are 0800-2100, approximately. KDAFHGHAN-1 provides the majority of the manpower, while KDAFGHAN-2 fills in for rest breaks, lunch, and while KDAFGHAN-1 processes the previous day's take. The general practice is to observe the entrance without optical assistance until a person or vehicle is seen to be entering or leaving the gate area. The restricted size of the aperture possible in the OP for this viewing (a rectangular opening approximately four by five inches) prevents simultaneous viewing of any other area of the compound...(next page)...most often people with previous appointments are going to the Consulate (which we do not cover with KDAFGHAN), or too many unidentified people arrive about the same time at the gate, precluding a positive identification."
