INTRODUCTION

J. Wilson Newman, now a resident of Charlottesville, was president of Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. from 1952 to 1960. In the late sixties and early seventies the Nixon administration appointed him to serve on the Bankruptcy Commission, the Price Commission and the President's Task Force on Improving the Prospects of Small Business. Newman donated his personal records of this work to the Law Library in the summer of 1985. The files were in good order, and the folder headings reflect the labels on original folders or notebooks. There are 24 boxes (10.4 linear ft.) arranged by commission.
