One letter from David Ziskind to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated July 24, 1974. Ziskind supports the impeachment of President Nixon. He is concerned about the future of the Republican Party if Republican representatives don't condemn Nixon and writes, "Today's action of the Supreme Court merely adds to the dilemma of the President as the head of the Republican Party and the Party can be saved in the forthcoming elections only by a forthright stand for impeachment and a full and fair trial of the President." Written on stationery from the Law Offices of Ziskind and Wiggen.
