President Nixon initiates a brief telephone request through the White House operator to reach Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler. The call serves as a logistical bridge to establish communication with his primary spokesperson during a period of intense scrutiny. No substantive policy discussions occur, as the exchange is limited to the successful facilitation of the connection.
