President Nixon and H. R. Haldeman coordinated the logistics for the President's departure from Camp David to the White House. They discussed helicopter standby procedures and established an 8:00 p.m. departure time for the President. Nixon explicitly clarified that he would be traveling alone, noting that other guests remaining at Camp David did not need to accompany him.
On June 9, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and H. R. ("Bob") Haldeman talked on the telephone at Camp David from 7:12 pm to 7:13 pm. The Camp David Study Desk taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 172-012 of the White House Tapes.
