President Nixon contacted the Camp David operator to facilitate telephone connections with his close associates, Charles “Bebe” Rebozo and Robert H. Abplanalp. He specified that Rebozo could be reached at Abplanalp’s residence in New York. Nixon instructed the operator to forgo further attempts to locate Rebozo if he was dining out, opting instead to call him at a later time.
