Gerende (Ramon Joseph Alvarez Durant), principal agent for the LIEMPTY (umbrella surveillance project in Mexico City, formerly code-named LIPSTICK. Included a variety of sub-projects under it) project, was introduced to his new case officer, Vincent P. Rizzuto. The major reason for the change in case officers was to bring the LIEMPTY project into the section which it is largely designed to support, the REDTOP (CIA Soviet Division) section. In the three-month period covered by this progress report, Gerende was met by the case officer 32 times...(handwritten: Vincent P. Rizzuto) for/Willard C. Curtis (Winston M. Scott)."

04/02/70: Dispatch from COS, Withheld to Chief, SB Division (Info: Chief, WH Division): Subject: REDTOP (REDACTION) Contacts with Soviet Officials in Mexico: Page 32: "SUBJECT: Vincent P. Rizzuto's Soviet Contacts: Largely through the medium of AMCOSAD, Rizzuto has met a number of Soviets. With many it is little more than a nodding acquaintance, but with some it is a little deeper than that. The latter are discussed below. It should be pointed out that each of these Soviets is very likely aware of Rizzuto's RVROCK (CIA) affiliation. A. Valentin V. Bakulin (201-261813) - Rizzuto has known him for over two years. Bakulin is a smooth-talking, smooth-appearing diplomat...AMCOSAD functions appear to provide the only occasion for Bakulin to appear in public. When Rizzoto has been to functions at the Soviet Embassy, Bakulin has always been the proper host - polite and hospitable. The real Bakulin never shows through. Since he is a neighbor (same floor of same apartment building) as well as a frequent companion of Chmykhov, he is undoubtedly aware of the relationship between Rizzuto and Chmykhov, and he stays out of it, probably on purpose. B. Yuriy Chernysh (201-825743) - Rizzuto has met Chernysh only three times, the first two meetings being well over a year apart. However, all meetings resulted in relatively lengthy conversations. Chernysh made no bones about getting Rizzuto's name correctly (most Soviets do not seem to bother and usually act as if they do not remember the name)..."
06/30/70: Agent Vincent P. Rizzuto dismissed Raymond H. Gerende (Ramon Joseph Alvarez Durant) on this date.
