President Nixon instructed the White House operator to place calls to both Charles W. Colson and his daughter, Tricia Nixon Cox. Upon learning that Colson was currently meeting with John D. Ehrlichman, the President requested that Colson return the call at his convenience rather than interrupting his meeting. These logistical requests highlight the President's administrative coordination during the workday.
