One newspaper clipping from The New York Times, sent to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 4, 1973. The article states, "Every president comes under attack from the political opposition, as is normal in a democracy; and every president makes misjudgments and administrative errors. If that were all that could be said about Mr. Nixon, the possibility of his resignation or impeachment would never arise… The one last great service that Mr. Nixon can now perform for his country is to resign."

Moorhead, Carlos J., 1922-2011
Nixon, Richard M. (Richard Milhous), 1913-1994
New York Times (New York, N.Y.)
