Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1971 to 1977. TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, The Speaker’s Rooms letterhead, October 7, 1974. Albert writes Congressman John E. Moss of California. In part: “I told Peter Rodino when he took over the job of having his Committee handle the confirmation of Jerry Ford, impeachment resolutions on Richard Nixon, and the confirmation resolutions on Nelson Rockefeller, that in my judgment the House expected his Committee to do a good job…I told the American Bar Association, who wanted Rodino to hold joint meetings with the Senate on the Rockefeller confirmation, that the 25th Amendment required confirmation by both Houses. We are going to do our job in our own way and we are going to do a good job—and no amount of criticism from any source is going to veer me from this course.” Date-stamped at the top right corner. Strip of mild toning at the top of the page, two staple holes at the top corners, and a few rust spots, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
