Pseudonym: Braddock, Gene
A dispatch on REDCAP/Soviet Embassy Personnel, in June of 1956, was signed by Braddock for the Chief of Station, Mexico City.
A cable in September, 1957, stated that Gene F. Braddock was to depart Mexico on around October 1st for home leave and training. Braddock prepared reports on travel (REDACTION) personnel and related (REDACTION) matters. The cable requested the services of a clerk stenographer for 90 days TDY as a replacement for Braddock. The clerk would also assist in the preparation of LIFEAT (CIA telephone tapping program on a number of phone lines in Mexico City, aimed primarily at the home phone lines of Soviet and Cuban personnel) reports, and it was preferable that the individual had Soviet Russia (SR) Division training.
