One letter from Marshall H. Cohen to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated July 24, 1974. Cohen supports the impeachment of President Nixon and criticizes the appointment of St. Clair as the defense attorney of the impeachment hearings. He writes, "It is terribly unfair for St. Clair to be the Defense Attorney of your hearings. If it is basically a trial, who is representing the people? We want fairness, justice, and respect for the Law. Pres. Nixon gives us lies, deceit, perjury, coverups, burglary, and police-state tactics. Please hurry."

Moorhead, Carlos J., 1922-2011
Nixon, Richard M. (Richard Milhous), 1913-1994
Cohen, Marshall H., fl. 1974
