Summary:  
The document details surveillance activities related to Manuel F. ArtIME Busesa (referred to as "the Subject") during July 1963. It notes that the first phase of audio surveillance at a SAS safehouse in Bethesda, Maryland, was completed. The Subject left Washington, D.C., on 13 July 1963, and vacated his residence on 12 July 1963 for an overseas PCS assignment. Case officer Charles MATT arranged for the Subject to be billed at the Bethesda safehouse on 29 July 1963. Surveillance included installing microphones on the main floor of the house, connecting wiring to a crawl space over the ABS/105 garage (locked), and using equipment paid for by SAS. A maid was engaged to clean the property on specific days. The case was assigned to the District Field Office with a Special Agent as responsible agent. Audio coverage was expected to yield better results than prior radio-phase surveillance, though timely servicing of recorders posed challenges.
