President Nixon consulted with the White House operator to determine the whereabouts of British Prime Minister Edward Heath, who was meeting with Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. The President requested that the operator arrange a call once Heath returned to his office. No urgent action was required, as Nixon indicated there was no rush to expedite the communication.
On November 8, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and the White House operator talked on the telephone at an unknown time between 2:18 pm and 2:35 pm. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 033-072 of the White House Tapes.
