President Nixon initiated a brief telephone call through the White House operator to contact his Chief of Staff, H.R. Haldeman. The exchange served as a routine administrative request to place a call to a specific staff member. No substantive political or policy discussions took place during this brief connection.
On April 13, 1973, President Richard M. Nixon and White House operator talked on the telephone at an unknown time between 5:08 pm and 5:48 pm. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 038-008 of the White House Tapes.
