One letter from Robert B. Carlson and Van T. Carlson to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated March 29, 1974. They support the impeachment of President Nixon. Make reference to a document as the "Congressman Moorhead Report." They state that they have been studying the Constitution and how it addresses impeachment procedures. "There is no doubt that impeachment investigation, impeachment action, and impeachment trial by the Senate are all high voltage shocks to the American people and government. However, it seems equally clear that the constitution includes the impeachment procedure to get the nation through shock and crises (which are otherwise unresolvable)."
