Colson attempted to conduct a brief, informal telephonic check-in regarding scheduling and ongoing communications. The conversation was significantly hampered by severe technical difficulties, rendering the audio mostly unintelligible and preventing any substantive discussion of policy or political strategy. Consequently, no concrete decisions were reached, and the participants ended the call due to the connectivity issues.","topics":["Communication difficulties","Charles Colson","Scheduling","White House operations"],"generatedAt":"2026-04-06T15:15:38.724Z"},"topicSlugs":["communication-difficulties","charles-colson","scheduling","white-house-operations"],"audioDurationSec":78,"audioFiles":[{"file":"328-007.mp3","bytes":3123007,"durationSec":77.95,"bitrate":320531,"missing":false}],"audioIsShared":false,"audioProbedAt":"2026-09-18T02:19:41.569Z","transcriptGapSeconds":47,"transcriptGapShare":0.6,"transcriptQuality":"incomplete","audio":["https://nixon.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/audio/328-007.mp3"],"url":"https://www.easynixon.org/tapes/328-007","nixonLibraryUrl":"https://www.nixonlibrary.gov/white-house-tapes/328/conversation-328-007","license":"Public domain (U.S. Government work).
