President Nixon recorded a brief, informal memorandum for the file, reflecting on recent social interactions and miscellaneous administrative observations. The President commented on various personal subjects, including individuals he encountered, a recent excursion on the Sequoia, and his daughter Tricia Nixon Cox. The dictation serves as a personal record of these fleeting reflections rather than a discussion of formal policy or government decisions.
On April 19, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon met in the President's office in the Old Executive Office Building at an unknown time between 9:55 am and 10:11 am. The Old Executive Office Building taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 331-015 of the White House Tapes.
