One letter from Archie Precet to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated October 28, 1973. Precet is against the impeachment of President Nixon and writes, "There has always been scandals and spying, including bugging, every [sic] since FDR's days and newsmen know this. The enormous publicity and the witch hunt and loathing on TV by news people is trying those involved by mass media and makes a fair trial impossible. . . .When Democrats do dirty tricks, they seem to think it's cute."
