'''Joseph Gregg''' attended City College of New York and at the outbreak of war in Spain he travelled to that country and drove a truck for the [[Comintern]] affiliated Loyalists of the [[International Brigades]] for the duration of the war. Upon return to the United States Gregg found employment with [[Robert Miller]] who was operating the ''Hemisphere'', a weekly newsservice on Latin American affairs.
In 1941 Gregg managed the Export Information Bureau, formerly the ''Hemisphere'', in Washington D.C., a failing publication which was taken over by the [[Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs]] (CIAA) in 1942 at which time Gregg began working with his old employer, Miller, in the CIAA.
Gregg and [[Earl Browder]], General Secretary of the CPUSA, met with [[Elizabeth Bentley]] in [[Mary Price]]'s apartment in Washington D.C., the rendezvous point for delivering stolen material from the [[Perlo group]] to courior for transmission to the [[Soviet Union]], at the time Mary Price was seeking to end her involvement in wartime espionage on behalf of the Soviet Union. Gregg provided information on U.S. naval intelligence, military intelligence, and [[FBI]] reports on Soviet and Communist activities in Central and South America.
Gregg transferred to the United States [[Department of State]] in 1944, and lied on his appliciation his involvement with the International Brigades. Gregg at one time had been a member of the [[Rockefeller Commission]].
Code names "Gor" and "Hor" appeared as an unidentified [[KGB]] source in the [[Venona]] cables, and the context supports the ''Gorsky Memo''’s identification of "Gor" as Joseph Gregg.
