Summary

Description
English: The Daily Diary of U.S. President Gerald Ford, cropped. September 5, 1975 - 8:52 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Location: Sacramento, California.

The Ford assassination attempt in Sacramento was a September 5, 1975 effort by cultist Charles Manson Family member Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme to kill U.S. President Gerald Ford in California. Ford was in Sacramento that morning to speak at an annual California Host Breakfast. The above file is pages from Ford's Daily Diary shows that Ford spoke for 26 minutes at the Host Breakfast and returned to the Senator Hotel. He left the Senator Hotel at 10:02 am and walked to the California State Capitol, arriving at 10:06 am. Between that time, the diary notes with little detail that Fromme tried to assassinate Ford. Ford himself waited until the end of his meeting with the California Governor to mention that someone had jus tried to kill him. The scant text in the September 5, 1975 Daily Diary of President Gerald R. Ford about the assassination attempt seems to reflect that nonchalant approach by the Ford administration to the assassination attempt.
