One letter from Robert Yoakum to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 7, 1973. Yoakum supports the impeachment of President Nixon. He warns Moorhead "I don't think it is unfair or unkind to remind you that Washington scandals will play a major role in the 1974 congressional elections--and that those Republican legislators who were provably reluctant to act in this second greatest of all constitutional crises will be extremely vulnerable at the polls."

Moorhead, Carlos J., 1922-2011
Nixon, Richard M. (Richard Milhous), 1913-1994
Yoakum, Robert, fl. 1973
