One note from Vera Calico to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated October 28, 1973. Calico is against the impeachment of President Nixon. Mentions Leonid Brezhnev and writes, "Men and women of reason must rise above emotionalism, and think of the national good - and the consequence of their procedure. What is the most important thing for national survival? Who but President Nixon can save us from Brezhnev? Doesn't the nation deserve saving?"
