President Nixon instructed the White House operator regarding his availability and communication protocols for the remainder of the day. He established instructions for returning calls and confirmed a schedule for an upcoming 2:30 PM meeting. These arrangements ensured that his staff could manage his communications while he remained largely out of reach.
