One letter from T.F. Passafiume to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated July 25, 1974. Passafiume mentions firing of chief special counsel Albert Jenner and writes, "P.S. The Republican Party will not be blamed for Watergate, only the way they treat it, and face it. We the voters know that (C-R-E-E-P) did not represent the Republican Party. They served only R.M. Nixon's interests. And we know what happened."
