President Nixon consulted with the White House operator to facilitate communication with his staff. After learning that speechwriter Raymond K. Price was unavailable at the Kennedy Center, the President requested to be connected with his personal secretary, Rose Mary Woods. This brief interaction served as a logistical attempt to coordinate administrative outreach.
On January 19, 1973, President Richard M. Nixon and the White House operator talked on the telephone at an unknown time between 4:12 pm and 7:29 pm. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 036-011 of the White House Tapes.
