This administrative exchange facilitated an urgent communication between the President and his top domestic policy advisor during the height of the Watergate investigation.
On April 25, 1973, President Richard M. Nixon and White House operator talked on the telephone at 6:52 pm. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 038-148 of the White House Tapes.
