One letter from Kenneth P. Sharp to Congressman Peter W. Rodino and copied to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated December 6, 1973. Sharp supports the impeachment of President Nixon. Notes are written on a photocopy of a newspaper article written by Tom Braden, published in the Sacramento Bee on December 5, 1973. He mentions that Gerald Ford has taken to the media to try to defend Nixon and writes, "The above article in my opinion, plus information in addition compiled by your committee, should be facts enough for the 'Dethroning of King Richard.'"
