President Nixon initiates a brief, informal communication with the White House operator to request medical relief. The President specifically asks for medication to alleviate a headache. This interaction serves as a routine administrative request rather than a substantive discussion of policy or political matters.
On June 4, 1973, President Richard M. Nixon and White House operator met in the President's office in the Old Executive Office Building at an unknown time between 11:30 am and 11:52 am. The Old Executive Office Building taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 442-006 of the White House Tapes.
