Daniel Oliver (born March 10, 1939) was executive editor of National Review from 1973 to 1976 and chairman of the Federal Trade Commission from 1986 to 1990.
[1] He was chairman of the National Review board and a trustee of the magazine made so by William F. Buckley, Jr., founder of the publication.
[7] The quip garnered Oliver headlines nationwide, and shortly afterwards the state's support for the dairy cartel collapsed, and Gerace resigned under pressure from the Cuomo administration.
[8] Oliver's goal was to reduce the costs of American health insurance by removing barriers limiting competition—in this case, being the first FTC chairman to propose the destruction of the McCarran-Ferguson Act.
He is also Senior Director of the Washington, D.C.–based White House Writers Group, a public policy and corporate consultancy.
Previously, he served as president of the conservative Philadelphia Society, and was a senior fellow at The Heritage Foundation, and chairman of the San Francisco–based Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy.
