One letter from Marlan Ornoff to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 8, 1973. Ornoff supports the impeachment of President Nixon and mentions the firing of Archibald Cox, the selection of Spiro Agnew, John Dean, Haldeman, Erlichman, and John Mitchell. He also writes, "Nixon fooled a lot of the American masses in his corrupt high money-powered Presidential campaign in 1972 ($40 million to buy the office of President) but I think he really 'shafted' himself by firing Independent Prosecutor Archibald Cox.
