President Nixon initiated a brief telephone request to the White House operator to be connected with Special Counsel Charles W. Colson. This communication served as a logistical bridge to facilitate a direct conversation between the President and a key advisor. No substantive policy matters were discussed during this specific operator-assisted connection.
