President Nixon contacted the Camp David operator to place a telephone call to H.R. Haldeman. Upon learning that Haldeman was likely attending church services, the President requested to be notified upon his return so that he could reconnect. This brief exchange served as a logistical coordination for the President to reach his former Chief of Staff.
