Summary:  
The documents detail the employment, termination, and post-termination activities of Raymond H. Gerende and Ramon Joseph Alvarez, former CIA agents based in Mexico City during the 1960s–1970s. Gerende was terminated in June 1970 due to marital disputes and financial instability, with ongoing financial settlements paid until May 1971. His wife, identified as LIEPTY-19 (likely a codename), received monthly payments of $250 starting July 1970, with funds intended for her brother, Maurits Roos, in Alexandria, Virginia. Alvarez was associated with a U.S. citizen who was terminated and later rehired. The records include surveillance operations, financial transactions, legal disputes over property and divorce proceedings, and administrative communications between CIA stations in Mexico City and U.S. headquarters. References to "LIMENTY" and "LIDETY Project" suggest involvement in intelligence activities, though no direct connection to John F. Kennedy or the assassination is made.
