President Nixon consulted with a White House operator to facilitate a phone call to Al Chamie. Following a brief discussion regarding time zone logistics for the placement of the call, the President opted to manage the connection process personally. He ultimately instructed the operator to cease further involvement and directed that she not return his call.
On March 17, 1971, President Richard M. Nixon and the White House operator met in the Oval Office of the White House at an unknown time between 3:36 pm and 3:43 pm. The Oval Office taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 467-034 of the White House Tapes.
