EXHIBIT 99.1

               STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER
       REGARDING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS

I, M. David Jones, state and attest that:

(1)  To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports of
     Wallace Computer Services, Inc., and except as corrected or supplemented in
     a subsequent covered report:

          -    no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material
               fact as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
               the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials,
               as of the date on which it was filed); and

          -    no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to
               make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
               circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of
               the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a
               report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date
               on which it was filed.)

(2)  I have reviewed the contents of this statement with Wallace Computer
     Services, Inc.'s Audit Committee.

(3)  In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or before
     the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

          -    Wallace Computer Services, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
               the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002 filed with the Securities and
               Exchange Commission on October 23, 2002.

          -    All reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
               definitive proxy materials of the Wallace Computer Services, Inc.
               filed with the Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form
               10-K identified above; and

          -    Any amendments to any of the foregoing.
