Title: To Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead

A thank you letter from James Sensenbrenner, House representative for Wisconsin's ninth district, to Moorhead for a vote in favor of the Civil Rights Preservation Act that replaced the Grove City Bill. It would protect religious rights under the first amendment.
