R. Haldeman coordinate adjustments to the President’s daily schedule to ensure sufficient time for upcoming diplomatic and political meetings. Nixon explicitly mandates extending the duration of a meeting with South Vietnamese representatives and postpones a session with black administration officials to 5:00 p.m. for strategic optics. The call concludes with the confirmation of a brief subsequent meeting with Dr. W. Kenneth Riland.","topics":["Presidential scheduling","Vietnam War diplomacy","Political strategy","White House administration","Public relations"],"generatedAt":"2026-04-06T09:06:36.814Z"},"topicSlugs":["presidential-scheduling","vietnam-war-diplomacy","political-strategy","white-house-administration","public-relations"],"audioDurationSec":28,"audioFiles":[{"file":"156-022.mp3","bytes":686129,"durationSec":28.47,"bitrate":192823,"missing":false}],"audioIsShared":false,"audioProbedAt":"2026-09-18T02:19:33.323Z","audio":["https://nixon.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/audio/156-022.mp3"],"url":"https://www.easynixon.org/tapes/156-022","nixonLibraryUrl":"https://www.nixonlibrary.gov/white-house-tapes/156/conversation-156-022","license":"Public domain (U.S. Government work).
