One letter from Taro Kawa to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated October 25, 1973. Kawa supports the impeachment of President Nixon and writes "The tragedy of the Watergate Incident is that the American people no longer have respect for our Government and have lost faith in the Office of the President. The belief that law and justice inexorably prevail is inherent in our Nation's strength. This belief has now been eroded."
