Biography
Richard Schultz Schweiker (June 1, 1926, Norristown, Pennsylvania – July 31, 2015, Pomona, New Jersey), Republican.
Richard S. Schweiker represented Pennsylvania's 13th District in the U.S. House (1961–1969) and the state at large in the U.S. Senate (1969–1981), then served as the 14th U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Reagan (1981–1983). He began his career as a moderate Rockefeller Republican and grew steadily more conservative after Reagan named him his preemptive running mate ahead of the 1976 Republican National Convention — an alliance told in full on the Deep Dives tab. The complete chronological record, including his Senate Intelligence Committee work reviewing the original JFK assassination investigation, is on the Timeline tab.
As Secretary, he spent much of his two years defending the department's budget against the administration's own proposed cuts, and his name went on the 1981 Social Security proposal Congress rejected. The more lasting record is quieter: the plan that became Medicare's prospective payment system for hospitals, the Medicaid waiver that let Katie Beckett be cared for at home and became a national option for disabled children, and the first federal tamper-resistant packaging rules after the Tylenol murders. The full account is the "Two Years at HHS" Deep Dive; the regulations he signed and the lawsuits brought against the department have their own pages, HHS Regulations and HHS Litigation.
Claire Schweiker
His wife, Claire Joan Coleman Schweiker, was a Philadelphia native and the valedictorian of her high school class. Before their 1955 marriage, she was the original "Miss Claire" on Romper Room, the pioneering children's educational program then broadcasting out of Philadelphia — one of the show's earliest hostesses, from 1954 to 1956 — and gave it up after she and Richard met and married six months later. Raised, like her husband, in what she called a "strictly Pennsylvania Dutch family that stressed values and service," she would later say the two of them "see our primary purpose in life as serving God."
A 1953 radio and television broadcasting graduate of Temple University — later the first recipient of the school's Alumni in the Media award and a member of its hall of fame — she moved to Washington after her husband's election to the House in 1960. She gave speeches on public service, health, and faith into the early 1990s, served as vice chairman of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation Ball, and was a former president of the District's Republican Wives Club, alongside memberships in the International Club of Washington, the Senate Wives Club, and the Senate Ladies Red Cross Unit. In September 1981, The Washington Dossier put the couple on its cover for a profile titled "For a Healthy America."
Claire Schweiker died April 28, 2013, of respiratory failure at Inova Loudoun Hospital in Leesburg, Virginia, at age 81 — survived by her husband of 57 years, their five children, a sister, and 23 grandchildren.
Legacy: How His Story Gets Retold
His 1976 selection remains the standard historical reference point whenever a presidential candidate considers naming a running mate before securing the nomination. This is a representative sample of that recurring coverage, not an exhaustive news archive.
Contemporary coverage calling Reagan's move "one of the most astonishing and bizarre turnabouts in a campaign full of surprises" after it failed to swing the nomination.
Read it →When Ted Cruz named Carly Fiorina his running mate before the 2016 nomination was decided, outlets across the board cited the Reagan-Schweiker gambit as the direct historical precedent — and the cautionary tale, since it failed both times.
Read it →A Trump-era retrospective using the 1976 episode as the history lesson for modern speculation about unconventional running-mate strategy.

Three works he wrote or contributed to, drawn from Wikipedia's own bibliography for him.
An early, detailed case for shifting the United States to an all-volunteer military, later used as a blueprint for the actual transition.
Written the same year as the Church Committee's review of the original Kennedy assassination investigation.

HHS Regulations
The Federal Register documents he signed or approved as Secretary of Health and Human Services, 1981–1983.
Source: the Library of Congress's scans of the Federal Register.
Every document in the Federal Register published during his tenure (Jan. 22, 1981 – Feb. 3, 1983, plus a few days after for documents already signed) that bears his signature — rules, proposed rules, and notices he issued himself, and agency rules he formally approved after an agency head signed them. Agency rules that never reached the Secretary's desk aren't included.
How this list was compiled
The Federal Register's own API only covers 1994 onward, so this list was compiled from the Library of Congress's scanned Federal Register issues. Every issue from his tenure that mentions him (209 issues) was downloaded and its text extracted; each signature block — "Dated:" or "Approved:" followed by his name — marks one document. Titles, agencies, document types, and summaries come from each document's own preamble. The scans are 1980s OCR, so every record was then reviewed by hand: duplicates and reprints were removed, garbled titles corrected, and where a title could not be read in the scan, a plain description is given instead and marked as reconstructed. Summaries are reproduced from the scanned text and may contain minor OCR errors. Page citations are located from the scanned page headers and may occasionally differ by a page from the official first-page citation; each links to the full issue scan at the Library of Congress.
Signature Actions
Required federally funded family planning projects to notify a parent or guardian within 10 working days after providing prescription contraceptives to an unemancipated minor, and to comply with state laws requiring parental notice or consent. HHS presented it as carrying out Congress's 1981 amendment directing Title X projects to encourage family participation "to the extent practical." Opponents called it the "squeal rule."
What happened: It never took effect. Eleven days before its Feb. 25, 1983 effective date, a federal court in New York preliminarily enjoined it as likely contrary to Congress's intent (New York v. Schweiker, Feb. 14, 1983); the federal district court in Washington permanently enjoined it on March 2, 1983 (Planned Parenthood Federation of America v. Schweiker). The D.C. Circuit affirmed that July, by which time the case carried his successor Margaret Heckler's name.

Five weeks after seven people in the Chicago area died from cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules, he and FDA Commissioner Arthur Hull Hayes Jr. signed the first federal tamper-resistant packaging requirements: every over-the-counter drug except dermatologics, dentifrices, and insulin, plus oral-hygiene liquids, vaginal products, and contact lens solutions, had to carry a seal or barrier that would show visible evidence of tampering, and a label telling consumers what to look for.
What happened: The packaging requirements began taking effect Feb. 7, 1983 — the template for the sealed medicine packaging that is still standard today.

With FDA, published an advance notice that the agency was considering requiring aspirin and other salicylate-containing drugs to warn against giving them to children and teenagers under 16 with flu or chickenpox, because studies had associated salicylates with Reye's syndrome. The notice laid out both the studies and the industry's criticisms of them, and the specific warnings under consideration.
Advance notice of proposed rulemaking — 47 FR 57886 (Library of Congress scan)
Citing President Reagan's Executive Order 12291 on federal regulation, he reserved to the Secretary's office the authority to approve FDA regulations involving significant public policy, making the Commissioner of Food and Drugs his principal advisor on those rules rather than their final authority. The April 1982 amendment covered FDA's general procedural rules and others presenting "highly significant public issues."
What happened: From then on, FDA documents on such matters went out over both the Commissioner's signature and his: 91 FDA documents in the list below carry his.
Original reservation — 46 FR 26052 (Library of Congress scan) · Amendment — 47 FR 16008 (Library of Congress scan)
Carried out the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981's consolidation of a large number of federal health and social-service programs into block grants, which shifted primary responsibility for running them to the states and gave states substantial discretion over the money. The October 1981 rule revoked the regulations for categorical health grants replaced by the preventive health, alcohol/drug abuse/mental health, and maternal and child health block grants; the July 1982 rules implemented seven block grant programs.
Categorical grant revocation — 46 FR 48588 (Library of Congress scan) · Block grant rules — 47 FR 29472 (Library of Congress scan)
Implemented the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982's new Medicare hospital payment limits: a three-year ceiling on the annual rate of increase in each hospital's inpatient operating cost per case, measured against a "target amount," with incentives for hospitals that kept costs below it and an exemption for rural hospitals with fewer than 50 beds.
Proposed rules carrying out the 1981 budget act's Social Security cuts: ending the lump-sum death payment based on burial expenses, ending mother's and father's benefits when the youngest child turns 16 rather than 18, and phasing out benefits for students over 18 in college, ending them for all other post-secondary students after July 1982.
Published for public comment two reports of the President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research — its first biennial report on the adequacy of federal protections for human research subjects, and its June 1982 report on compensating subjects injured in research. Both pick up the questions he pressed as a senator in the 1975 hearings on human experimentation (see the MKUltra Deep Dive).

| 1983-02-11 | Proposed rule | Federal Old-Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance; Black Lung Benefits; and Supplemental Security Income; Overpayment Waiver Provisions | Social Security Administration | 48 FR 6354 |
The Social Security Administration proposes to amend its regulations to improve overpayment recovery and waiver policies pursuant to the objectives of the Department of Health and Human Services Debt Collection Action Plan. The revised regulations will: (1) Establish a time limit for requesting waiver of overpayment recovery; (2) Standardize criteria for establishing "without fault"; (3J Identify a resource base for all three programs, recovery from which will always be considered to "defeat the purpose" of the particular program even though recovery from resources above that base will not be considered to "defeat the purpose" of the particular program; (4) Limit the amount of miscellaneous living expenses considered in determining whether recovery will "defeat the purpose"; and (5) Provide that recovery will be considered "against equity and good Federal Register / Vol. 48, No. 30 / Friday, February 11, 1983 / Proposed Rules conscience" only if the individual relinquished a valuable right or changed his or her position for the worse because of a notice that the payment would be made or by reason of the incorrect payment.

| 1983-02-10 | Final rule | Elimination of Medicare Indirect Subsidy for Private Rooms | Health Care Financing Administration | 48 FR 6108 |
This final rule, which implements section 111 of Pub. L. 97-248 (the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982), precludes Medicare from sharing in the added cost of private rooms in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) unless the rooms are used by Medicare patients, and are medically necessary. In accordance with the statute, regulations implementing this provision were published on an interim final basis on September 28, 1982. This document responds to the public comments we received on the interim final regulations, and sets forth final Medicare regulations with respect to elimination of the private room subsidy.

These regulations for providing payments for vocational rehabilitation (VR] services implement sections 2209 and 2344 of Pub. L 97-35, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, which amend sections 222(d) and 1615(d) of the Social Security Act (the Act). The intent of these regulations is to give rehabilitation agencies an incentive to rehabilitate beneficiaries under titles II and XVI; to improve the cost effectiveness of the use of title II Trust Funds and title XVI general funds for rehabilitation of beneficiaries and, to that end, to limit payment for VR services to cases of successful rehabilitation attributable to VR agency involvement. The regulations provide for payment to the State VR agencies or alternate participants, on a case-by-case basis and subject to certain conditions, for each person successfully rehabilitated. EFFECTIVE DATES. These rules will be effective February 10, 1983.

| 1983-02-10 | Proposed rule | Medicare and Medicaid Program; Withholding the Federal Share of Payments To Recover Medicare or Medicaid Overpayments | Health Care Financing Administration | 48 FR 6304 |
We propose to amend Medicare and Medicaid regulations to implement sections 905 of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96499) and 2104 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 (Pub. L. 97-35). Section 905 expands HCFA's authority to withhold the Federal share of Medicaid payments in order to recover Medicare overpayments. Section 2104 provides new authority for HCFA to withhold Medicare payments to recover Medicaid overpayments. The provisions apply with respect to institutions or persons that participate (or have participated) in both programs, and to whom an overpayment under either program may have been made but cannot be recovered under that program. The intent of the statute is to facilitate recovery through offset of payments due the entity under the second program. Previously, HCFA could suspend Federal Medicaid payments to State agencies to recover Medicare overpayments for an institutional provider of Medicare services when that provider (1) had withdrawn or been terminated from participation in the Medicare program; (2) failed to repay or make satisfactory arrangements to repay the overpayments; or (3) failed to submit appropriate information to determine the amount of overpayment, if any. No authority existed with respect to individual practitioners or other suppliers, nor was there any provision for recovering Medicaid overpayments through Medicare.

These regulations, which are based on Pub. L. 96-473, place certain restrictions on the payment of benefits based on disability and student status to persons who have been convicted of a felony and are imprisoned and restrict the use of certain impairments in determining disability. These rules specify the conditions under which benefits will not be paid to these individuals and how a finding of disability may be affected when an impairment, or the aggravation of a preexisting impairment, arises during the commission of a felony or imprisonment. Before the enactment of Pub. L. 96-473, there were no restrictions upon the payment of benefits or the making of disability determinations for these persons. We published a Notice of Proposed Rule Making on June 11, 1982 (47 FR 25376). Comments received are discussed in this preamble.

| 1983-02-01 | Proposed rule | Grants for Advanced Nurse Training Programs | Public Health Service | 48 FR 4492 |
This proposed rule would amend the regulations implementing the Advanced Nurse Training Grants Programs by deleting the designation of six nursing specialties as the only specialty areas requiring advanced training and by removing funding preferences for certain specialties. When the regulations for the Advanced Nurse Training Programs were published in 1978, categories identified as eligible for support reflected the interests of the Department and were broad enough to allow many important advanced nurse training programs to apply for funds to develop needed programs. Since that time it has become evident that there are other areas of high priority to the Department that are not eligible for support, e.g., family oriented nursing programs and programs directed to the provision of care to individuals with chronic disease. As societal needs *and Departmental interests have changed and broadened it appears appropriate to eliminate the current restriction on eligibility so as to permit support of a wider range of advanced *nursing programs.

These regulations expand existing policy relating to suspension of individuals from participation in Medicare and Medicaid if they are convicted of program-related crimes. The suspension provisions will now apply to operators and administrators of health care facilities, pharmacists, and other individuals receiving reimbursement for services, as well as to physicians and other individual practitioners who were previously covered. The regulations provide for suspensions from participation in Medicare and Medicaid if the individual is convicted of a program-related crime relating to the delivery of medical care or services under the Medicare, Medicaid, or title XX Social Services programs. These regulations also require State Medicaid agencies to have the ability to , exclude from Medicaid program reimbursement providers who otherwise defraud or abuse the Medicaid program, and revise State Medicaid requirements for the detection and investigation of Medicaid fraud and abuse. All of the provisions are intended to The regulations in Part 455, which contain State plan requirements, are effective on April 27, 1983. The procedures on suspension of health care professionals will apply to convictions for program-related crimes made on or after October 25, 1977. Even though these regulations are published as final, we welcome comments on the provisions. To assure consideration, comments should be received by February 28, 1983.

| 1983-01-21 | Final rule | Abbreviated New Drug Applications; Related Drug Amendments | Food and Drug Administration | 48 FR 2750 |
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the new drug regulations to clarify FDA's policy on abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) acceptability. The rule states that when FDA finds that the abbreviated form of a new drug application is suitable for a drug product, the finding will apply only to drug products identical to the product that was the subject of the finding. The rule also establishes a petition procedure whereby prospective applicants may ask FDA to determine whether an abbreviated new drug application is suitable for similar or related products. This action is taken because abbreviated applications are frequently submitted, improperly, for products that are clearly not subject to such a finding. These changes clarify when FDA will accept an ANDA for a duplicate version of a pre-1962 approved drug product and provide a more effective process for making an earlier determination about ANDA 2751 suitability for similar or related products thus permitting applicants to submit the appropriate form of an application earlier. The agency also will make publicly available a list of specific drug products for which FDA has made a finding that an ANDA is suitable. Such a list will benefit prospective applicants who are not necessarily aware of all products that have been found suitable for ANDA's. | ||||

Section 2331 amplifies statutory authority for collection of past-due support from Federal tax refunds by making such collection a State plan requirement of the Child Support Enforcement program. Under section 2331, only AFDC cases are eligible for referral to the IRS for collection by tax refund offset. Child support agencies must reimburse the IRS for the cost of applying the offset procedure.

| 1983-01-20 | Interim final rule | Elimination of Double Support Payments | Office of Child Support Enforcement | 48 FR 2538 |
Section 173 of Pub. L. 97-248, the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982, amends section 454(5) of the Social Security Act to require a State to pay directly to a family any child support payments for any month following the first month in which the amount collected is sufficient to cause ineligibility for Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). This will eliminate the situation which existed prior to the enactment of section 173 of Pub. L. 97-248 in which a family would receive, during the first month of ineligibility, both the support payment which caused AFDC ineligibility and the support payment collected during the first month of ineligibility. To implement section 173, these regulations amend 45 CFR 302.32 to require the State to use the support payment used to determine a family ineligible for AFDC to reimburse itself and the Federal government, in accordance with 45 CFR 302.51, for assistance payments made to the family.
