President Nixon and Charles W. 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.
On March 27, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon, White House operator, and Charles W. Colson met in the President's office in the Old Executive Office Building from 1:05 pm to 1:09 pm.
