One letter from Chris Bekiaris to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated October 30, 1973. Bekiaris supports the impeachment of President Nixon and notes that they do not often write to their representative, He writes, "A natural extension of investigations into the Executive Branch is to literally 'clean your own house' for we all know there are financial deals made between corporations and Congressmen to gain votes or other favors--that is historically true."
