President Nixon instructed the White House operator to place an outgoing telephone call to H.R. "Bob" Haldeman. The exchange served as a logistical step to facilitate direct communication between the President and his former Chief of Staff. No further substantive policy matters were discussed during this brief administrative request.
On June 4, 1973, President Richard M. Nixon and White House operator talked on the telephone at an unknown time between 9:54 pm and 10:04 pm. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 039-080 of the White House Tapes.
