President Nixon contacted the White House operator to facilitate a telephone connection with his National Security Advisor, Henry Kissinger. The brief exchange served as a routine administrative request to initiate a high-level diplomatic discussion. No further substantive policy matters were addressed during this short bridge to the advisor.
