Ford, who was golfing at Burning Creek. Rather than speaking with him directly, Nixon directed the operator to inform Ford that H.R. Haldeman would contact him later to deliver a message on the President's behalf. This brief exchange served as a coordination step to facilitate communication between the White House and Ford through the President's Chief of Staff.","topics":["Gerald R. Ford","H.R.
