President Nixon initiated a brief telephone request through the White House operator to be connected with his personal secretary, Rose Mary Woods. This administrative exchange served as the precursor to a subsequent, substantive conversation between the President and Woods. No policy matters or major political decisions were addressed during this brief operational connection.
On January 29, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and the White House operator talked on the telephone at an unknown time between 12:10 pm and 12:12 pm. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 019-168 of the White House Tapes.
