President Nixon contacted the White House operator to place a telephone call to political advisor Harry S. Dent. The operator noted that Dent might currently be in South Carolina, though he could have already returned to Washington. This brief interaction served as a logistical attempt by the President to initiate contact with a key staff member for unspecified discussion.
On February 21, 1973, President Richard M. Nixon and the White House operator talked on the telephone at 9:53 am. The White House Telephone taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 043-138 of the White House Tapes.
