President Nixon initiates a brief telephone call through the White House operator to connect with his special counsel, Charles W. Colson. The interaction serves as a functional request to facilitate direct communication with a key staff member. No substantive political or policy discussions occur during this short exchange, as it is limited to the operator connecting the requested party.
On November 3, 1971, President Richard M. Nixon and the White House operator talked on the telephone at an unknown time between 2:45 pm and 3:00 pm. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 013-103 of the White House Tapes.
