One letter from Carlos J. Moorhead to G.J. Wasserburg dated February 21, 1974. Item is a response to a constituent who sent an editorial entitled, "The Wisdom in the House", where the author was in favor of H. Res. 803 (vote to subpoena). Moorhead writes, "As in most editorials, the one on Wisdom in the House totally glossed over the true objections to the resolution which I had expressed and took one small statement out of context. The biggest faults with the resolution were that they denied the Minority the right to subpoena witnesses without the consent of the Majority, thus making it possible for an unfair, one-sided inquiry."
