One letter from Robert L. Aronoff to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 4, 1973. Aronoff supports the impeachment of President Nixon. He mentions Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus, Attorney General Elliot Richardson, Vice President Spiro Agnew, White House Counsel John Dean, and Former Attorney General John N. Mitchell. He also believes that attacking the press is unfair, "I'm even more disturbed at those who go around apologizing, condemning, excusing, or attacking the press (who brought all this political garbage to our attention) as a cover up of the moral corruptness in high places."
