President Nixon consulted with the White House operator to facilitate a phone call to John A. Mulcahy. Upon learning that Mulcahy was currently in transit, the President instructed the operator to leave a message at his residence. The interaction served as a logistical coordination effort to ensure a follow-up conversation between the two men later that evening.
