President Nixon consulted with the White House operator to arrange a telephone call with New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller. Upon learning that Rockefeller was currently traveling to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and that his aide Ann Whitman was also unavailable, the President decided to postpone the request. No further action was taken, and Nixon instructed the operator to cancel the immediate attempt to reach the Governor.
