President Nixon consulted with a Camp David operator to confirm the current whereabouts and transit status of National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger. The operator reported that Kissinger was en route to New York via Andrews Air Force Base and was accompanied by General Brent Scowcroft. Nixon determined the information was not urgent and declined the operator's offer to initiate a call with his staff at that time.
On February 24, 1973, President Richard M. Nixon and Camp David operator talked on the telephone at Camp David at an unknown time between 1:36 pm and 6:10 pm. The Camp David Study Table taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 162-006 of the White House Tapes.
