N1 - We present measured radial velocities and complete space motions for 116 white dwarf stars with M dwarf companions. Thirteen pairs have ``halo-like'' velocities. According to a recent study by Oppenheimer et al., all these high-velocity white dwarfs should be considered part of the dark matter heavy halo of the Galaxy, based on their kinematics.
