President Nixon attempted to initiate a telephone call through the Camp David operator with H. R. Haldeman present in the background. The call was ultimately aborted before any substantive discussion or official business could be conducted. Consequently, no specific policy decisions or significant developments resulted from this brief technical interaction.
President Richard M. Nixon, Camp David operator, and H. R. ("Bob") Haldeman talked on the telephone at Camp David on an unknown date, sometime between 12:14 pm on November 28, 1972 and 10:10 am on November 29, 1972. The Camp David Study Table taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 156-023 of the White House Tapes.
