Description

Ford writes on Nixon’s controversial actions in Cambodia: “May I also suggest that if the President is removed by impeachment (which will not be done), he would be succeeded by Vice President Agnew who shares his views on Vietnam and Cambodia.”

TLS signed “Jerry Ford,” one page, 8 x 10.5, Congress of the United States letterhead, May 7, 1970. Letter to a constituent regarding the possible impeachment of Justice Douglas, with the constituent rather having Nixon impeached. In part, “I well understand your concern regarding Mr. Nixon’s decision on Cambodia…The President’s action is aimed at further protecting our troops and our Allies in Vietnam. I have endorsed the President’s position and sincerely hope that this action will result in shortening the war in Vietnam…This is a controversial action I well recognize and, as you know, the President indicated it could be completed within 6-8 weeks. May I also suggest that if the President is removed by impeachment (which will not be done), he would be succeeded by Vice President Agnew who shares his views on Vietnam and Cambodia.” In fine condition, with a bit of scattered light foxing. R&R COA.
