President Nixon held a brief, procedural interaction with the White House operator to facilitate an outgoing call. The exchange served primarily as a functional request to connect the President to another party. No substantive policy matters or historical developments were recorded during this brief administrative bridge.
On March 15, 1973, 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 1:18 pm and 2:48 pm. The Old Executive Office Building taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 416-039 of the White House Tapes.
