President Nixon contacted the White House operator to clarify the logistics of a previously requested meeting with Charles W. Colson. He instructed the operator to summon Colson to the Oval Office only if he was currently at the White House. The President explicitly directed that Colson should not be disturbed if he had already departed for home.
