President Nixon instructed the White House operator to place an outgoing call to Edward J. Kiernan. Kiernan, serving as the president of the International Conference of Police Associations in New York City, was the intended recipient of the communication. This brief exchange served solely as an administrative coordination to facilitate direct contact between the President and the police labor leader.
On August 1, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and the White House operator talked on the telephone at an unknown time between 4:33 pm and 5:20 pm. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 028-035 of the White House Tapes.
