President Nixon coordinated a follow-up telephone communication with Charles W. Colson through the White House operator. The brief exchange served to confirm Colson's transit status and establish a timeframe for the President to initiate a return call once Colson arrived home. No substantive policy matters were addressed beyond logistical planning for this private consultation.
On January 3, 1973, the White House operator and President Richard M. Nixon talked on the telephone at 8:17 pm. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 035-077 of the White House Tapes.
