President Nixon consulted with the White House operator to determine the current status and location of John D. Ehrlichman. Upon learning that Ehrlichman was currently in transit, the President opted to forgo an immediate connection. Nixon decided to delay the contact, stating he would reach out to Ehrlichman later that evening instead.
On April 15, 1973, White House operator and President Richard M. Nixon talked on the telephone at 5:17 pm. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 038-050 of the White House Tapes.
