President Nixon directed the White House operator to place a telephone call to John O. Marsh, Jr., a former Democratic congressman from Virginia. The President instructed the operator to obtain the necessary contact information from Charles W. Colson’s office if it was not already on file. This brief administrative exchange facilitated communication with a political figure outside of the immediate White House staff.
On August 3, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and the White House operator talked on the telephone at 8:10 am. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 028-047 of the White House Tapes.
