President Nixon initiates a brief telephone call through the White House operator to connect with Secretary of State William P. Rogers. The exchange serves as a logistical bridge to facilitate direct communication between the President and the Secretary. No substantive policy discussions occur, as the conversation is limited to the operator executing the President’s request to establish the connection.
On January 26, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and the White House operator talked on the telephone at an unknown time between 10:12 am and 10:17 am. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 019-094 of the White House Tapes.
