One letter from Hazel M. Lapkowski to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 5, 1973. Lapkowski is against the impeachment of President Nixon. Believes that Nixon has done more good for the country that the scandal outweighs and that Kennedy and Johnson ran equally problematic campaigns but were not investigated because they were popular with the press. "Also, I believe the biased press in this country has caused more harm than good. These pseudo-reporters have acted like hysterical schoolboys, and I believe they should be chastised for this behavior."

Moorhead, Carlos J., 1922-2011
Nixon, Richard M. (Richard Milhous), 1913-1994
