The interaction ended quickly without the President successfully reaching the intended party. No substantive policy matters or administrative decisions were documented during this short exchange.
On May 15, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and the White House operator met in the President's office in the Old Executive Office Building at an unknown time between 8:18 pm and 9:16 pm.
