We report that the transient detected by Lutovinov et al. (ATEL #155), IGR 17597-220, is at a position consistent with a transient which has been active since at least 07 Feb 2001, when it was first detected in RXTE PCA galactic bulge scans. Dedicated PCA scans on 19 May 2001 determined a best fit PCA position to be R.A. = 18h00.0m, Decl. = -22o03m (equinox 2000.0; estimated uncertainty 4'). The XTE designation of XTE J1759-220 was generated based on a preliminary position from the PCA bulge scans.
