Autograph letter signed

Title: to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead

One letter from Teresa Abatemarco to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated October 28, 1973. Abatemarco supports the impeachment of President Nixon. Mentions bombing of Cambodia and his "impounding of funds." She writes, "The President has time and again placed himself above the law, by his decision to bomb Cambodia, by impounding funds appropriated by Congress, with his disregard of a court order. In a government based on laws, no man has the right to place himself above them."
