One letter from Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead to Edward T. Olsen dated April 30, 1974. Item is a response to a constituent’s letter regarding his subpoena vote. "This is a very bad resolution which does not assure the American people that we can get to the bottom of the mess. I am not opposed to the subpoena power when it can be exercised equally to bring out all sides of this controversy."
