Bureau of the Budget 1957–
1958, director of the Bureau of the Budget 1958–1961;
Secretary of Commerce 1969–1972. In
1972, he resigned as Secretary of Commerce to chair the finance committee of
Richard Nixon's re-election campaign.
Stans died in
1998 aged 90 following a
heart attack at the
Huntington Memorial Hospital in
Pasadena, California. He is survived by his wife Penny, his daughter Terry, her husband Bill and their three children, his sons Steve and Ted, his grandchildren, Shelia and Peter, and Peter's wife Lois and their three children: Rebecca, Samantha and Deidre.
