President Nixon instructed the White House operator to place a call to Mamie Eisenhower to check on her health status. The operator advised that the President should first consult with Dr. Walter Tkach, as Mrs. Eisenhower was reportedly hospitalized. Nixon acknowledged this guidance before the operator proceeded to secure the necessary contact information.
