President Nixon held a brief, unscheduled meeting with a White House operator in his Old Executive Office Building workspace. The interaction appears to be a routine administrative exchange, as no substantive policy or political discussions were recorded. The meeting serves primarily as a record of the President's immediate access to telecommunications support staff during late-evening hours.
On May 15, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and the White House operator met in the President's office in the Old Executive Office Building at an unknown time between 9:19 pm and 9:23 pm. The Old Executive Office Building taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 339-012 of the White House Tapes.
