One letter from William Lunch to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 1, 1973. Lunch supports the impeachment of President Nixon. He provides a partial list of actions done by Nixon that he considered impeachable offenses and writes, "Next, the president will tell us that John Mitchell has disappeared and never was Attorney General anyhow. On the next day, he will announce that Congress does not exist and so cannot impeach him."
