President Nixon initiated a brief telephonic communication with the Camp David operator to request an outbound call to his Chief of Staff, H.R. "Bob" Haldeman. The exchange served strictly as a logistical facilitation for the President to reach a key advisor. No substantive policy matters were discussed during this brief administrative interaction.
