President Nixon contacted the White House operator to facilitate two urgent phone connections. He requested to reach George T. Bell, noting his location at the hospital, as well as former White House staffer Richard V. Allen. The operator acknowledged these instructions to initiate the calls on the President's behalf.
On March 2, 1973, President Richard M. Nixon and the White House operator talked on the telephone from 11:41 am to 11:43 am. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 037-030 of the White House Tapes.
