President Nixon initiates a request through the White House operator to place a telephone call to Congressman George H. Mahon of Texas. The brief exchange serves as a logistical bridge to facilitate direct communication between the President and the Representative. No substantive policy discussions occur, as the conversation is limited to the operator's coordination of the requested line.
