President Richard Nixon and First Lady Pat Nixon engaged in a brief, personal telephone conversation. The exchange appears to be a check-in between the couple, though the specific substance remains largely unavailable due to the withdrawal of the recording for personal reasons. No official policy decisions or significant administrative actions resulted from this interaction.
On October 11, 1971, President Richard M. Nixon and Thelma C. ("Pat") (Ryan) Nixon talked on the telephone from 5:55 pm to 5:56 pm. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 011-045 of the White House Tapes.
