Schweiker Referrals Linked to GSA Hiring Bias Details Surface
Investigators found at least 17 Schweiker referrals led to job offers at the GSA with apparent special treatment in hiring. It remains unclear if Senator Schweiker knew about the targeted attention. During Nixon years Kumzig and Sampson, both Pennsylvanians, led the GSA. Ford replaced Sampson with Eckerd, who later appeared on Carter aides’ list as an example of patronage. Eckerd, defeated in Florida Senate bid, was among six presidential appointees on Carter’s list of Republicans with recent electoral defeats who held high posts in Ford administration.

Reagan Ford clash over VP pick at GOP convention
At the GOP convention the rules committee rejected a Reagan backed plan to force nominees to name their running mates before the vote. Reagan said the process would not be a rubber stamp and predicted many delegates favored his choice Schweiker. Buckley looms as a potential third candidate as Buckley supporters, including Crane and Symmes, push for a Buckley bid while Symmes remains bound to Reagan on the first ballot. The vote on advance VP disclosure failed 59 to 44, with Ford and Reagan factions vying for control of the nomination process.
