President Nixon held a brief, two-minute meeting with a White House operator to facilitate an outgoing call. The interaction functioned primarily as a logistical exchange to connect the President with an outside party. No substantive policy discussions or major administrative decisions occurred during this brief window of communication.
On July 2, 1971, President Richard M. Nixon and the White House operator met in the President's office in the Old Executive Office Building at an unknown time between 6:29 pm and 6:31 pm. The Old Executive Office Building taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 260-022 of the White House Tapes.
