Biography[]

Scott was born in Madison, Wisconsin.[3] He was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He served as United States Ambassador to Portugal from 1973 to 1974, when he was dismissed by Henry Kissinger because he did not share Kissinger's opinion that a communist takeover was imminent.[4][5] He died of a stroke at his home in New York in 1992.[2]
