1975: Moonbeam lives in the CA Governor's Mansion & Onwards

1:02 PM EST, Friday, September 5th, 1975

The Pentagon, Washington, DC.

NSC Meeting regarding seizure of SS Mayaguez.jpg



US Deputy Defense Secretary William Perry "Bill" Clements, Jr., was working inside his office at the Pentagon, analyzing which specific unnecessary programs on the defense budget needed to be cut or reduced in order to save money for the Pentagon & US Department of Defense. He was making specific cuts & obviously wasn't getting along with US SECDEF Donald Rumsfeld, whom Clements referred to his time under Rumsfeld was "very unpleasant" & their hostility was detailed in this: when Rumsfeld tried to have him removed, Clements blatantly resisted efforts to be moved to another department, even going so far as to threaten if removed from his office, to hold a press conference & label his dismissal a "power play". At 1:02 PM, Clements' phone rang non-stop, he answered & was notified about the incident in Sacramento "Oh my God. Are you telling me President Ford has been hit ?" he asked. One of the Pentagon staffers informed him, "Yes sir. Mr. Deputy Secretary. We can confirm that the President has been hit. We don't know how serious, it is, but I've been told by the White House that your presence is needed over there RIGHT NOW!"

Hanging up, Clements told his wife, Rita Crocker Clements, who was shocked at the news "Rita, I'll have to head over to the White House for an emergency National Security Council meeting, it might take all night. I'll have the driver take you home."

More on Clements later....

Circle One Observatory, Washington, DC.

NA_Rockefeller.jpg

Inside the private quarters of Circle One Observatory, VP Rockefeller was in the company of his young female secretary, both of whom were in the middle of an escapade as the bed was squeaking. She was trying not to scream aloud "Oh Mr. Vice President" she giggled "Oh Stop, Oh stop...." before the buzzer was sounding non-stop. Rockefeller got up & answered breathless "Yes. What's going on ?" The person on the other line answered "Mr. Vice President. There's an incident in Sacramento, CA & your presence is needed at the White House sir." The VP answered "I'll be there in a couple of minutes. Thank You." hanging up, then telling the female secretary, "Sorry I have to leave you sweetie, but you smell so good (kissing her all over her body). I have to head over to the White House for an important meeting." walking over to take a shower & getting dressed.

Following this, the VP said "Don't worry about Mrs. Rockefeller. The Second Lady is doing some promotional tour in NC."

The female secretary laying on the bed naked, responded "I'll be waiting for you baby." as she looked from the 2nd floor watching the VP heading into the VP limousine as the motorcade left Circle One Observatory.

She didn't know what to say or do when White House Chief of Staff & US SECDEF Donald Rumsfeld ran up to the Family Residence on the 3rd Floor of the White House to inform the First Lady the news...

Betty: "Donny. What's going on ? Why are the White House staff rushing non-stop downstairs ?"

Rumsfeld: "Mrs. Ford..... I, am sorry. Your husband has been shot in Sacramento, CA."

Betty: "Excuse me ? Did you just say the father of my 4 kids, has been shot ?"

Rumsfeld (clearing his throat): "Mrs. Ford, I am sorry. I can officially confirm that the President has been shot. I don't have any other information, but when I do, I will get it to you the first earliest thing."

CBS News HQ, NYC, NY St.

Screen_shot_2013-01-22_at_1.08.56_PM.png

CBS News Anchor Walter Cronkite listening to White House Chief of Staff & US SECDEF Donald Rumsfeld
on what had occurred in Sacramento.
"Are you freaking kidding me ? Not again God DAMN it!" CBS Evening News Anchor Walter Cronkite, who 12 years ago, reported to the world the news of President Kennedy's death, as well as the deaths of former Presidents Herbert Hoover (1964), Dwight Eisenhower (1969), Harry Truman (1972) & LBJ (1973), was telling the camera crew to hold off while he was speaking with White House Chief of Staff & US SECDEF Donald Rumsfeld.

Clearing his throat & sipping a glass of water, Cronkite broke into regular programming all over the country & the world as he began to report more horrific news: "Good afternoon everyone. This is Walter Cronkite of CBS Evening News from NYC, NY St. You can excuse me while I was getting some information over the phone, that was White House Chief of Staff & US SECDEF Donald Rumsfeld, who informed me, as I am informing the viewers here this afternoon that President Ford has been shot while greeting a crowd of spectators outside the CA State Capitol Grounds in Sacramento, CA, where the President was scheduled to hold a meeting with CA Governor Jerry Brown (D).

Now, at 10:02 AM PST, President Ford was greeting people in the first row of the crowd when someone dressed in a large red robe pointed a gun at the President & opened fire, hitting the President twice in the left shoulder, three times in the left side of his chest & hitting some people in the crowd including some Sacramento PD Police officers, who were trying to subdue the shooter. We can also report that witnesses heard more than 12 shots fired from a balcony across the street, hitting some bystanders, who were trying to duck for cover. I can also confirm that CA Governor Jerry Brown (D) was surrounded by CA Highway Patrol officers & CA State Troopers, he was driven back to the CA Governor's Mansion for security reasons.

Ok, let me get more information.. I'm told that President Ford was driven in an ambulance to Mercy General Hospital, where he has been placed into emergency surgery by surgeons & doctors working very hard to save his life.

Now, I'm told that we have video of the incident at Capitol Park over at the CA State Capitol Grounds in Sacramento, CA. Let's play it right now:

[Video showing President Ford falling to the ground after being shot multiple times by Squeaky Fromme, who shot several others as well].

Cameras go back to Cronkite, whose face was pale & shaken as he drank glass of water. "That was some video footage being shown as many of you have seen, watching the shooting at Capitol Park. We have more sources over at the Mercy General Hospital, where security has locked down the entire surrounding area with maximum security ranging from the US Secret Service, CA Highway Patrol, Sacramento Police Department, Sacramento County Sheriff's Department & CA National Guard, where National Guard troops have been patrolling all over the Golden State."

Briscoe
12:36 PM CST, Friday, September 5th, 1975

TX Governor's Mansion, Austin, TX.

briscoe-p17.jpg

Having secured an easy overwhelming reelection victory by winning 247 out of 254 Counties in 1974, TX Governor Dolph Briscoe (D) made history becoming the first TX Governor to serve a full 4-year term (he was elected in 1972 despite the Nixon landslide, making Briscoe the last TX Governor to serve a 2-year term). He had been blasted by members of the Capitol Press Corps & other news organizations of being MIA whenever state government proved to be too much for him to handle, some critics even posted "It's 10:00 PM. Do you know where your Governor is ?" with pictures of Briscoe, which many Texans considered insulting & unflattering. He was also focusing on an uphill campaign for reelection in 1978, which would make him the first TX Governor to serve 10 consecutive years in office.... if he could overcome possible primary challengers from the likes of TX Lieutenant Governor Bill Hobby (D), TX State AG John Hill (D), TX State Comptroller Bob Bullock (D) among others (some of whom were plotting for 1974 before Briscoe declared his reelection campaign that year). Some of Briscoe's supporters were concerned about GOP challengers such as US Deputy Defense Secretary William Clements, United States Senator John Tower (R-TX), former US Treasury Secretary John Bowden Connally, Jr., (who switched to the GOP 4 months after LBJ's death in 1973) & US Chief Liaison to PRC George HW Bush. Briscoe's approval ratings were heading toward a downslide & according to some inside the TX Dems, they were getting sick of Briscoe's old-fashioned "living within your means" approach & wanted to send a message to the Governor, whom some liberals despised openly due to his staunch conservatism.

As Briscoe was inside the family quarters of the TX Governor's Mansion, eating lunch, he was watching TV when CBS Evening News Anchor Walter Cronkite was reporting on the incident in Sacramento, CA... that President Ford had been shot. Briscoe spat out his coffee & yelled "Janey! Janey! Get over here & come see this." he yelled to his wife, TX First Lady Janey Slaughter Briscoe.

BREAKING NEWS: Cabinet invokes 25th Amendment naming Rockefeller Acting POTUS; Ford's condition unknown.

Cronkite: "Good afternoon everyone. Here are the latest developments on what had transpired. I'm told by sources inside the White House that the Cabinet has invoked the 25th Amendment, naming VP Rockefeller as the Acting POTUS until further developments regarding President Ford's condition are coming out, now I am told that we're getting some detailed accounts from eyewitnesses, who were over at the CA State Capitol Grounds in downtown Sacramento. CBS News' Bob Schaeffer is in Sacramento with more information over there Bob..."
 
Schaeffer reporting from Sacramento, CA:

Schaeffer: "Walter. I'm here outside the CA State Capitol in downtown Sacramento, where it's heavily guarded by CA State Troopers, while CA Army National Guard, is patrolling the streets of Sacramento with military tanks members of the Sacramento PD are interviewing witnesses, who were present at Capitol Park, where the assassination attempt on President Ford occurred earlier this morning. Now I'm told that the US Secret Service & FBI agents are interrogating the shooter, who is identified as Squeaky Fromme, who is a disciple of the serial killer Charlie Manson. I am told by the Sacramento Bee that Fromme was dressed in all red with a red robe, when she opened fire on the President & 15 others, who were injured. One of the witnesses heard more gunshots fired from a balcony somewhere on the Capitol Grounds. We don't know if this is turning into a possible attack on our federal government or what.

Now we're being told that Sacramento, CA Mayor Richard Marriott has ordered a lockdown on the City of Sacramento with coordinating with the Sacramento PD & Sacramento County Sheriff's Department is raiding suspected apartments in apprehending potential co-conspirators.

I believe we're getting information from Mercy General Hospital, where doctors are working very hard to save President Ford's life. I am told that CBS News Washington Correspondent Bernard Shaw is live at our DC Bureau HQ with more updated information...."

Conference Room, Mercy General Hospital, Sacramento, CA.

WH Press Briefing.jpg

White House Press Secretary Ronald Nessen addressing the Press inside the Conference Room of

Mercy General Hospital to deliver the announcement he had been dreading.

Before walking into the conference room, Nessen was very upset, shaken & angry at being informed on the latest development of the President's condition. He had to compose himself, cleared his throat twice & drank some water before entering the conference room of Mercy General Hospital as the TV cameras' lights were brightening to the extremes, the flashes of the cameras were non-stop. In came the White House Press Secretary with the announcement....

Nessen: "Good afternoon everyone. What happened this morning on the grounds of the CA State Capitol was a horrific & traumatic event. I have some new information regarding new updates that many of you in the press have been waiting for.... Unfortunately, the news is NOT good..............

I hereby, officially confirm to all of you, the American people & throughout the world that the Honorable Gerald Rudolph Ford, 38th President of the United States of America.... died at 1:45 PM PST, just about 36 minutes ago..... (the room went dead silent as the cameras kept flashing)....

More details will be coming in later today when available, but that's all I have to inform everyone here today. Thank you. Please keep the Ford family in your prayers...."

Nessen walked all the way to a private room & wept.

Just like that Nelson Rockefeller, had been ascended as the nation's 39th Chief Executive...

BREAKING NEWS: POTUS FORD DIED AT THE AGE OF 62; VP ROCKEFELLER TO BE SWORN IN AS 39TH POTUS

Gerald_Ford.jpg

July 14th, 1913-September 5th, 1975
Cronkite: "Ladies & Gentlemen. I sadly report to you that despite the doctors' best efforts to save President Ford, their efforts were not successful because of the massive blood loss he had sustained from the shooting this morning. President Gerald Rudolph Ford, the 38th President of the United States of America, who ascended to the Presidency upon the resignation of the disgraced Richard M. Nixon on August 9th, 1974, has fallen to an assassin's bullets. 12 years ago, I came here to tell the world the death of President Kennedy & now I have the sad duty to inform you that America has lost a 5th President to assassination. From Sacramento, CA, the flash apparently official, President Ford died at 1:39 PM PST at Mercy General Hospital.......

(Drinking a glass of water & clearing his throat), VP Rockefeller was notified on the President's death & has been escorted to an undisclosed location, we don't know where he is headed, but we can confirm you that in a few HRS, he will be taking the Oath of Office as the 39th President of the United States. Second Lady Happy Rockefeller was holding a community development tour in NC with NC Governor Jim Holshouser (R) when she was informed on the shooting in Sacramento & has been flown to DC, I can assume she'll be in attendance for her husband's swearing in as the country's new Commander-in-Chief.

A moment of silence for President Ford...." (the next screenshot shows picture of President Ford ).....
"PRESIDENT GERALD R. FORD: 1913-1975".

1977_Dole_p55_(cropped).jpg

He was shocked, couldn't believe what he was hearing or seeing, United States Senator Bob Dole (R-KS) was inside his Senate office, watching the TV reports on the shooting in Sacramento, CA. "DAMN, the President is gone just like that after 1 year in office. Now we've got that damn NY liberal freak Rockefeller in the Oval Office." He secretly harbored White House ambitions for 1976 & 1980, but he decided to put those plans on hold for now because he was plotting to take over the Vice Presidency & put a maximum pressure campaign on the new President to make him VP or else he would challenge him for the GOP Presidential nomination in 1976 if the 39th President planned to seek a full 4-year term....
 
His Accidency: The Impromptu Inauguration of
Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller as 39th POTUS
5:00 PM EST, Friday, September 5th, 1975

United States Senate Chamber, US Capitol, Washington, DC.

800px-thumbnail.jpg

SCOTUS Chief Justice Warren Burger swearing in Rockefeller as the 39th President
inside the United States Senate Chambers.

It was packed inside the United States Senate Chambers of the US Capitol, where all 100 United States Senators were present, while 100 members of the US House of Representatives were in attendance. Members of the Rockefeller family were seated on the front row, while former FLOTUS Betty Ford & 3 of her 4 kids: Michael Gerald Ford, John Gardner Ford & Steven Meigs Ford were present representing the Ford family. SCOTUS Chief Justice Warren Burger was escorted with a quiet round of applause as he & his wife, Elvera were seated next to the Rockefeller family. Over outside the US Capitol Grounds, the new President & First Lady were driven in a heavily-guarded motorcade over towards the underground spot where TV cameras weren't allowed to follow the new occupants of the White House, who were surrounded by US Secret Service agents & DC Capitol Police officers.

Once Ford's death was announced by White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen, the nuclear football was immediately confiscated by the US Secret Service & one of the US Military Attaches, who was present with the late President Ford on the fateful trip to Sacramento, CA. One of the TV cameras showed United States Senator Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) looking annoyed at the thought of seeing his arch rival becoming Commander-in-Chief "that Northeastern idiot became President only because some crazy woman shot Jerry. I won the GOP nomination 11 years ago, just because this idiot is in the Oval Office doesn't mean I have to like it." while United States Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) was still pushing for former CA Governor Ronald Reagan (R) into jumping into the 1976 Presidential campaign for the GOP nomination regardless of what the 39th President planned on doing....

For Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, who had served 4 consecutive 4-year terms as NY St's 49th Governor from January 1st, 1959 until his resignation on December 8th, 1973 (having been elected in 1958 with 54%; reelected in 1962 with 53%, 44% in 1966 in 4-way contest & again with 52% in 1970) he had campaigned for the Presidency unsuccessfully in previous attempts to secure the GOP nomination in 1960, 1964 & 1968, losing all 3 times & ventured into the private sector before being nominated by President Ford to serve as VP on August 20th, 1974, later being confirmed as the 41st Vice President of the United States by both houses of Congress (US Senate voted 90 to 7 on December 10th in favor while the US House of Representatives voted 287 to 128 in favor as well on December 19th), serving from December 19th, 1974 until today's tragic events....

Rockefeller never anticipated getting the country's top job like this in a horrible, tragic way.

Burger stepped up to the podium & delivered a few remarks: "Today ladies & gentlemen. This is a day that I had hoped would've never came, but now that it has, we have to witness the transfer of the Presidency as we inaugurate our 39th President of these United States of America, the Honorable Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller. Mr. President, can you please come up to the podium & take the Oath of Office ?"

(Polite round of applause as President Rockefeller holding the Rockefeller family Bible, stepped up to the podium).

Burger: "Mr. President, are you prepared to take the Oath of Office ?"

Rockefeller: "I am ready & prepared to take the Oath of Office Mr. Chief Justice."

Burger: "Please put your left hand on the Bible, raise your right hand & repeat after me your Oath of Office...
I, Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, do solemnly swear..."

Rockefeller: "I, Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, do solemnly swear..."

Burger: "that I will faithfully execute..."

Rockefeller: "that I will faithfully execute...."

Burger: "the Office of President of the United States..."

Rockefeller: "the Office of President of the United States..."

Burger: "& will to the best of my ability,"

Rockefeller: "& will to the best of my ability,"

Burger: "preserve, protect & defend the Constitution of the United States."

Rockefeller: "preserve, protect & defend the Constitution of the United States."

Burger: "So help me God."

Rockefeller: "So help me God."

Burger: "Congratulations Mr. President."

Rockefeller: "Thank you very much Mr. Chief Justice."

Burger: "Ladies & Gentlemen. The 39th President of the United States, Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller."

[The crowd let out polite applause including members of the Rockefeller family out of respect for the Ford family, who were present on the front row. President Rockefeller walked over to his family, kissed his wife, new FLOTUS Happy Rockefeller, 6 of his 7 kids (son, Michael was presumed to have drowned in November of 1961): Rodman Clark Rockefeller, Ann Rockefeller, Steven Clark Rockefeller, Mary Rockefeller (from his 1st wife, Mary Todhunter Clark), Nelson Rockefeller, Jr., & Mark Filter Rockefeller (from his 2nd wife, Happy) before the new President walked back to the podium to deliver a short, impromptu Inaugural Address:

President Rockefeller: "Chief Justice Burger, Justices of the United States Supreme Court, members of Congress, reverend clergy, my lovely wife, Happy & my 6 children including many members of my family, who are here to witness this transfer of power, members of the Presidential Cabinet, who are seated in the upper balcony seats I can see over there & my fellow Americans...

First, let me give my personal condolences to the Ford family on the loss of a great American, who served his country in the United States Navy during World War II, fought for what was right, served his community in the US House of Representatives representing MI's 5th Congressional District for 24 years including stints as Chairman of the House GOP Conference, Leader of the House GOP Conference, House Minority Leader then becoming our nation's 40th VP & eventually our 38th President.

I want everyone here to have a moment of silence honoring the memory & legacy of President Ford, will you please join me in a moment of silence [the US Senate chamber is very quiet during the moment of silence, while outside the US Capitol, flags are being lowered to half-mast].

My message to the Ford family is that the White House is open to you, the Oval Office is open to you because if there's anything y'all need, let me & Happy know because we will help you anyway we can. Will everyone here will give the Ford family a round of applause & appreciation (Mrs. Ford gets up from her seat & hugs both President & First Lady Rockefeller before going back to her seat).

I understand you didn't come here to listen to a long, boring speech, so I am going to make this address very short. But I want all Americans whether they're White, Black, Hispanic, Asian or from the South, Midwest, East Coast or West Coast, I am the President for ALL Americans (applause). I ask for everyone for their prayers & continue praying with us & for us as we undertake the difficult task in following the shoes of our 38th President, I promise to be a good steward in making sure our economy gets moving, getting people back to work, pursuing peace & stability all over the world & making this great country a true beacon of light for the entire world.

I will not let the American people down. Thank you very much for being here today."(applause)

I have no idea where this timeline is going, which is a good feeling. Are you going to add global effects, and how long are you planning on continuing this? Incidentally, On 5 September 1975, the London Hilton was the target of an IRA bomb which killed two people and injured 63 others in OTL... nice and easy start for a new president, right? :evilsmile:

I'm going to include international events (some of which I included in earlier points like the death of Taiwan's dictatorial President Chiang Kai-shek). In this TL, it's going to be interesting to see if Reagan follows through on his campaign for the Presidency in 1976....

I also noted this TL will be very LONG.
 
Two presidents assassinated and another leaving in disgrace in 12 years--people are going to wonder if there's a curse on the office...

I'm going to include President Rockefeller's thoughts as he enters the Oval Office for the first time...

I'll also include the political ramifications for 1976.

PS: United States Senator Jimmy Carter (D-GA) had been flirting with a 1976 White House bid, but upon finding out about Ford's assassination in Sacramento, Carter quickly backed out. Moonbeam plans on pursuing the Presidency regardless.
 
Carter
6:30 PM EST, Friday, September 5th, 1975

Senate Office Building, Washington, DC.

Peanut Farming Hypocrite.jpg

For the Junior United States Senator from the Peach State, James Earl Carter, Jr., (D-GA), any hope of 1976 White House campaign evaporated once President Ford was assassinated in Sacramento & Rockefeller ascended to the Presidency as the nation's 39th Chief Executive. Carter, who defeated arch-segregationist United States Senator Herman Talmadge (D-GA) in the August 13th, 1974 Dem Primary election (Carter defeated Talmadge 59% to 29%)....Carter later won the November General Election in a landslide with 71% of the statewide vote, sweeping all 159 Counties. However, Carter didn't leave the Governorship early, in part because he didn't want to give outgoing GA Lieutenant Governor Lester Maddox (D), [who previously served as GA's 75th Governor from January 10th, 1967 to January 12th, 1971 before getting elected to GA'S 7th Lieutenant Governor in 1970] any chance of taking the governorship during the interim period.

Following Busbee's Oath of Office as GA's 77th Governor & the 19 Cannon Salute being fired by the GA Army National Guard, Carter & his wife, Rosalyn congratulated the Busbee's before leaving the Inaugural platform (because Carter had to be sworn in as United States Senator later that day). Later that day once the Carter's flew to DC, US Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield (D-MT) greeted Carter as he walked with his fellow Georgian, Senior United States Senator Sam Nunn (D-GA), who escorted Carter to be sworn into office & got to work immediately.

However, before Carter's election to the United States Senate, he had originally been planning a 1976 White House campaign during his tenure as GA's 76th Governor from January 12th, 1971 to January 14th, 1975. During the last 3 years of his governorship, Carter had been traveling IA, NH, SC, NV, PA, OH, FL, IL & other states. He had been also planning an official announcement in jumping into the 1976 Presidential campaign (despite criticism by many political analysts, who thought Carter was using the US Senate seat as a stepping stone for the Presidency despite being on the job for 8 months) in the Fall of 1975..... until the assassination of President Ford on September 5th in Sacramento.

This ended Carter's White House dreams.... for now. Not wanting to undermine the newly-installed President, Carter called President Rockefeller since both served as US State Governors together in the National Governors Association (Carter from GA & Rockefeller from NY St back in the early 1970s). [Carter & the late President Ford weren't getting along at all due to strong disagreements on major issues].

Carter: "Mr. President ?"

Rockefeller: "Jimmy! How's the United States Senate treating ya. Sounds different since we both served as Governors together during the early 1970s."

Carter: "The committee assignments have been rigorous 24 HRS per day, but I'm getting the hang of it. Now on the business at hand, what can I do in helping your newly-minted administration be successful, I see another of our former fellow Governors from CA is plotting to run against you in 1976 if you decide to run."

Rockefeller: "Jimmy, my focus right now is helping the Ford family during this difficult time & making sure things are running smoothly for all Americans going forward."

Carter: "Mr. President, if there's anything you & Happy need, just let me & Rosalyn know if I can help you coordinate in bipartisan legislation such as infrastructure projects, education reform, etc.,"

Meanwhile over at Number One Observatory Circle

Number One Observatory Circle, Washington, DC.

number-one-observatory-circle-f7242acb-9743-4551-b49b-1063fe1ac2b-resize-750.jpeg

While the Rockefeller family returned to their private residence in DC, the new President returned to Number One Observatory Circle for a "moment alone & private meeting with some advisers" when he instructed his Secret Service detail to NOT let anyone know where he's going or headed to, they obliged. The young female secretary was watching TV upstairs & said "I saw your speech on TV, congratulations Mr. President. What's next ?" Rocky, who made sure nobody or nothing would disturb them, "I've been making phone calls to world leaders, members of Congress & many others all day. I'm stressed out, but ready to get to work. I can think of one thing to get away from the stress..."

After drinking a glass of bottled cherry, Rocky escorted his young female secretary over to the private quarters inside the Number One Observatory Circle, closing the door behind them & locking it. Then went into the restroom to get comfortable, coming back a few minutes later wearing a robe, then slowly took off the young female secretary's clothes from head to toe. Soon afterwards, they engaged in another escapade all night long, "Hmmmm, Mr. President. Oh please stop. Ooooo" as she couldn't control her moans any longer. "Megan baby. This feels good does it ?", Rocky said as Megan was drenched with sweat, legs spread wide as he continued to penetrate her non-stop before the buzzer sounded again, "Oh SHIT!" Rocky snapped, slowly getting up (he was on top of Megan) to get the phone "Mr. President. Senator Mansfield wants to know if you'll be meeting him this week ?" one of the Secret Service agents asked, "Tell the Senator's staff that I will be expecting him to enter the Oval Office tomorrow." Hanging up, Rocky looked at Megan, "now baby, where were we ?" as Megan smiled & laughed...

Private Residence Quarters (3rd Floor), White House, Washington, DC.

1974-08-09 Ford Family @ the White House.jpg

The Ford family during happier times.

Inside the Family Residence of the White House, former FLOTUS Betty Ford was deeply distraught with tears streaming all over her face (having watched TV highlights seeing her husband of 27 years getting shot), drinking heavily by going back to the liquor cabinet taking drink after drink, which alarmed her 4 kids, especially daughter, Susan, who had been shedding tears non-stop since finding out about what happened in Sacramento. "Damn you God. Why did you take away my Jerry ? WHY ?" Betty ranted & raved as she threw glasses & bottles all over the place to the point of scaring the Hell out of the White House butlers & maids, who had to clean up the mess as Susan walked over to them apologizing for what had occurred, "I deeply apologize to all of the White House Staff on what my mother, Mrs. Ford had been doing, she really didn't mean it."

Getting annoyed by her mother's behavior, Susan confronted her mother "I lost my father today. I cannot afford to lose you too, please stop drinking. My brothers & I need you." before she realized it, Betty got up slowly & slapped her daughter with a triple-slap & punching her in the face, rudely telling her "Mind your own God damn business you teenage B*****" as the former FLOTUS holding her Martini walked out as Susan was crying holding the right side of her face, which was bruised.

Brown
5:00 AM PST, Saturday, September 6th, 1975
Governor's Office, CA State Capitol, Sacramento, CA.

bergan-teilhet-brown_.jpg

Inside the Governor's Office on the 1st floor of the CA State Capitol (which was guarded by CA State Troopers & CA Highway Patrol Security Detail Agents), Governor Brown was shocked by what had occurred yesterday morning "WOW. President Ford is gone, just like that after only 1 year in office! Let's see if Rockefeller can handle the pressures of the Oval Office because if he can't handle it, I am going to run for the Presidency in 1976 regardless of what he does. I feel like it's my time to do this since the other Dems are scared to jump in." It was pretty clear that Brown was going to run for the Presidency regardless & in his mind, he felt Rockefeller would be having problems inside the GOP, where the Conservatives were getting restless & pushing Brown's predecessor, former CA Governor Ronald Reagan (R) into running for the Presidency on the GOP side.

On the political aspect, Brown continued to pursue a conservative approach to domestic spending by aggressively cutting "wasteful domestic spending programs that don't work or non-existent" despite angry attacks from members of the DEM-controlled CA State Legislature in particular, State Assemblyman Willie Brown (D-San Francisco), where the two didn't flat out like each other. He also got strong criticism from State Senator George Moscone (D-San Francisco), who criticized Brown's budgetary cutting approach. However, the 1st-term CA Governor didn't care what people thought about his aggressive budget cutting approach. He was determined to court hardcore Conservative Dems in the upcoming 1976 Presidential campaign as well as convincing AL Governor George Wallace (D) to align with him on the issue of zero-based budgeting.
