New positions and proper motions for stars to a limiting magnitude of 7.9 over the whole sky (NewBS) were obtained as a result of a thorough revision of observational material of the International Bright Star Program. Twenty-one catalogs with right ascensions (alpha) and 16 catalogs with declinations delta were used to derive new positions for bright stars. The mean epoch of observation for positions in NewBS is 1968.4. The mean rms errors of positions in NewBS for the mean epoch of observation are: +/- 0.003 s delta for alpha and +/- 0.08 arcsec for delta. All stars listed in the NewBS catalog will be incorporated into the HIPPARCOS catalog. We present the results of a comparison of NewBS data with those of FK5 Extension, CAMC-4, CGS, and BS. (Abstract only).
