President Nixon held an informal, largely conversational interaction with a White House operator that touched upon his upcoming travel itinerary. Nixon mentioned a scheduled trip to Kansas City for a media briefing followed by a ten-day stay in California, where he planned to participate in a shipyard opening and other official engagements. The dialogue was primarily social in nature, serving to acknowledge the operator's service and reaffirm communication plans for the President's return.
