In 1988 the Resource Center announced "GroupWatch," but due to a lack of funding they were unable to continue the project. In 1993 they released the 133 profiles they had compiled in the form of ASCII files on disk. We selected 29 files for NameBase, reformatted them for 9-point type, and placed them in a binder. The NameBase citations from this notebook use the original filename followed by a slash and the year the file was last updated, with the page number assigned by our printer. For the most part, we chose files for groups with connections to the U.S. intelligence community.

Each group profile is from 2-8 dense pages, and includes directors and advisory board members, funding sources, international activities, private and government connections, history, U.S. address, and source notes. In most cases the filename in the NameBase citation is an obvious abbreviation of the group name. If it's still a mystery, there's a way to figure out the group name without calling us. Simply use E for Extract from the main menu, and lock onto "Resource Center. GroupWatch". Then use the filename from the citation in place of the date, so that the names from that particular file will be pulled out of NameBase. One of these names will be the full name of the group that corresponds to the filename, and will show the full range of page numbers occupied by that file in our notebook.
