John McCain was a Principal in the organization while Major General John K. Singlaub was the Chairman. In 1984 the group's support for anticommunist insurgent groups around the world increased greatly. In 1981, USCWF incorporated as a nonprofit group. When the Congress cut off all military support to the contras in 1984, WACL and the USCWF were among several private organizations which stepped in to fill the gap. In 1982, it applied for and received tax-exempt status--501(c)(3)--from the Internal Revenue Service. This status was revoked by the IRS in December 1987 because of complaints lodged against the group for its activities with the contra support network. In the same year, Singlaub assisted WACL in Canada in cleaning up its image by ridding itself of its pro-Nazi leadership
