President Nixon initiates a brief communication through the White House operator to facilitate an outgoing call. The exchange is purely logistical, serving as a placeholder for a subsequent conversation with another party. No substantive policy matters or executive decisions are addressed during this short administrative interaction.
On March 20, 1973, President Richard M. Nixon and the White House operator met in the Oval Office of the White House at an unknown time between 1:00 pm and 1:05 pm. The Oval Office taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 884-013 of the White House Tapes.
