One document from Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead to Mary Lou Cary dated August 28, 1974. Moorhead does not give an opinion on impeachment. He responds to a Cary’s letter. In the letter Cary writes that she is sad to see Nixon resign, but acknowledges that after tapes were released on August 5th, there was no way out. "There was no way the battle could be won in the Senate, so it was best for Mr. Nixon and the country that he resign at that time."
