Pseudonym: Scorgory, George
A cable on September 14, 1964, stated that Scorgory used the alias "Andres Sanders" when meeting AMLASH-3 in earlier meeting, in Madrid, to the one mentioned above. In a memo in June, 1961, from Anthony Sileo on meeting AMHINT-5, Sileo stated that he introduced himself to the DRE member as "Mr. Tony Sanders." Therefore, there is a close resemblance between the alias Scorgory used in 1964, and the one that Tony Sileo had used three years previously.
