This folder contains material pertaining to Walter W. Heller's involvement with the National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc. (NBER), a private non-profit research organization that aims to produce data on major economic problems. 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. Most correspondence is with William J. Carson (Executive Director) or Arthur F. Burns (President). A large portion of the 1961 material relates to a critique that Burns issued against the positions of the Council of Economic Advisers.
