One letter from Mr. and Mrs. Scott L. Hardman to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated February 19, 1974. They support the impeachment of President Nixon. They disapproved of the Congressman's vote on subpoena and write, "We feel that such power [subpoena power] is not only necessary for the full truth to be disclosed since the President will not do so voluntarily, but also that investigating bodies of this type were intended to have such power by the Founding Fathers when they drew up the Constitution."
