In 1977, Donald Rumsfeld was president of the Searle corporation. The FDA did not want to legalize aspartame (NutraSweet) because of its adverse effects on animals in testing. On January 25, 1981, (the day president Reagan took office), the previous FDA commissioner's authority was suspended, and the next month, the commissioner's job went to Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes, a medical doctor and pharmacist. In July, Hayes, defying FDA advisors, approved aspartame for dry foods. In 1983 Hayes, under fire for accepting corporate gifts, left the agency and went to work for Searle's public-relations firm as a senior medical advisor.

Searle invited 300 doctors and pharmacists to Orlando, Florida for a winter weekend getaway, to promote its new drug Celebrex, a pain-killer. Searle paid the doctors $500 for coming to Florida and $500 for each speech on Celebrex they gave. Searle invited doctors who were most likely to promote their products. Searle rented out Universal Studios theme park for an evening for the doctors and their families. Celebrex generated roughly a billion dollars in sales during its first year on the market-the first drug ever to attain that mark in its first year out, even though it was no better and sometimes worse than the painkillers already on the market. Critics say the Orlando event was a big bribe to doctors who would advertise Celebrex to other doctors and healthcare professionals.
