Eisenhower administration, the first post-New Deal Republican, to continue
support for the system. In the Johnson and Kennedy years, he was a planner at
the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, rising to Secretary of the
Department (1968-1969). He also played a major role in the design of
Medicare, adopted in 1965. Lightly creased. Fine
