Congressman Bill Young signed and dated speech to Congress following ''smoking gun'' evidence confirming President Nixon's involvement in the Watergate cover-up. Once a loyal Nixon supporter, Young concedes and even argues for impeachment here: ''Throughout the many months of 'Watergate' revelations millions of Americans, while knowing something was terribly wrong, hoped and prayed that the President of the United States would some how be restored to the position of trust he had enjoyed on Election Day, 1972. We waited anxiously for word from the President which would accomplish this. The newest evidence coming from the President himself, is the most conclusive yet. Rather than clearing him, the President's own words remove any question as to what must be done...the burning words of the President, establish without doubt, that truth, conscience and justice can only be served by voting to transmit this entire matter to the Senate of the United States for trial.'' Signed and dated in blue ink, ''Bill Young / August 6, 1974''. 1pp. on Congressional letterhead measures 8'' x 10.5''. Near fine.
