One newspaper clipping sent by Elisabeth Von Groidl to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated January 27, 1974. The article by Morrie Ryskind notes that federal legislators are back from the holidays and the Democratic strategy in Congress isn't concerned about whether President Nixon merits impeachment, but only whether they have enough votes to accomplish it. He found an interesting report by Rep. Andrew Hinshaw (R-California) that checked on the 890 letters he received from people who implied they were Republicans that demanded impeachment. He found that many of people on the list were registered Democrats, independents, or not registered to vote.
