One letter from Gordon A. Soloman to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 15, 1973. Soloman is against the impeachment of President Nixon and writes, "Mr. Nixon has not handled the Watergate Affair with the directedness that he probably should have. I am sure that he feels that what he has tried to do in the last few months concerning this matter was correct. It is obvious that it has not been successful...I feel that President Nixon should now lay his cards on the table and let justice take its course. I think that he is right in not stepping down when most of the opinion that is heard now days is for him to do otherwise. To step down now would be an admission of guilt."
