President Nixon initiates a brief telephone exchange with the White House operator to request a call be placed to his personal aide, Stephen B. Bull. He specifically asks for the operator to connect him via the 'Speedball' circuit, a specialized internal communications line. No further substantive policy matters are discussed during this short administrative interaction.
