  18. Carl Braun is right about IAC dropping older information from the
  19. General BusinessFile.  Although they include 4 years of periodical
  20. citations, they only include the most recent 12 months of Investext
  21. resports and citations from newspapers.  I think it's helpful to
  22. keep in mind that the General BusinessFile actually consists of 4 different
  23. databases -- the periodical index, Invextext, the SIC codes and
  24. the Ward's directory, and that retention is different for each.
