JFKWHSFWWH-MF85-001
This folder contains material pertaining to Walter W. Heller's involvement with the National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc.

Heller represented the University of Minnesota on the NBER board of directors for a five-year term that ended in 1963. Types of material in the file include correspondence and accompanying enclosures such as reports, meeting minutes, press releases, papers, and news articles that review NBER publications.

A large portion of the 1961 material relates to a critique that Burns issued against the positions of the Council of Economic Advisers.
