Pseudonym: Growery, Wallace
A report by Richard M. Fallucci (William Wainwright), TFW/FI in September of 1962, and a memo in October, 1962, made clear that Wallace A. Growery also used "Jaime" as an alias. In the memo Jaime is referred to as "Earl Williams", which is very close to the name Earl Williamson.

07/05/61, Dispatch from A/COS, Madrid to Chief, WE: "1. Madrid Station appreciated receiving the FBI interrogation results re Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo. On receipt of reference, Madrid Station obtained clearance from the Legal Attache, Madrid Embassy, for passage of pertinent portions of the interrogation to local Spanish services. 2. (REDACTION) did a complete translation of the sterilized interrogation and copies of same were disseminated to (REDACTION), and (REDACTION) through (REDACTION). The recipients of this report were clearly warned that the Subject lied and contradicted himself throughout the interrogation. It was also made clear to them that CIA was well aware of the deficiencies of this report. Regardless of the above, the recipients expressed their gratification in receiving the report; and we feel that we made our point by showing a spirit of co-operation with the local services in regard to covering the activities of the DRIL. Madrid Station will appreciate receiving any further interrogation reports on the Subject, and it is requested that they be cleared for passage to local liaison services if at all possible. 3. Attached for Headquarters information is a microfilm copy of the Spanish translation of the FBI interrogation report that was done by (REDACTION)." Signed by Anthony B. Weldrake and Wallace A.
