President Nixon initiates a call to the White House operator to be connected with Chief Justice Warren E. Burger. The primary purpose of this brief administrative interaction is to facilitate direct communication between the President and the head of the Supreme Court. No substantive policy discussions occur, as the exchange is limited to the operator's coordination of the requested connection.
