Julie Nixon Eisenhower contacted the White House operator and a representative from the Usher’s office to coordinate viewing the CBS broadcast of Tricia Nixon Cox's recent wedding. Because the broadcast was missed, Eisenhower inquired whether the White House Signal Corps could provide a playback of the footage. The parties discussed the availability of duty officers on a Sunday to facilitate the screening, with staff agreeing to check on the technical arrangements and call Eisenhower back.

May I help you, Ashutosh?
Thank you.
Good morning.
Good morning.
We weren't able to see the CBS coverage of the wedding last night.
Does Signal Corps have a take they could show?
Are they on here today?
I don't know if they're in yet or not.
They don't come in?
CBS on the Float Circuit Channel.
Right, but they don't come in on Sunday?
I don't know on this Sunday.
There usually is a duty officer in there, so it'll take a little while to set it up.
When would you like to see it?
Well, my father and I were here.
If there isn't anyone there, they can see it on Monday.
So why don't you just let me know what the situation is.
Let me call you.
Which phone are you on?
I'm on 586.
Okay, let me buzz you right back.
