One telegram from Mae McClintick to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 8, 1973. McClintick supports the impeachment of President Nixon and believes, "Evidence has been destroyed to protect a corrupt administration." The evidence that is mentioned as missing may be a section of tapes recorded in Nixon's oval office with an 18 1/2 minute gap.
