President Nixon and John D. Ehrlichman engaged in a brief telephone consultation to coordinate administrative activities. Given the lack of a transcript and the cross-reference to a subsequent conversation, the primary focus appears to be the scheduling or redirection of a pending discussion. No substantive policy decisions or developments are documented in this brief exchange.
