President Nixon consulted with the White House operator to facilitate two specific outgoing communications. He requested that the operator connect him with his daughter, Tricia Nixon Cox, and separately place a call to Secretary of Labor James D. Hodgson. These instructions initiated the evening's outreach efforts as managed through the executive switchboard.
