President Nixon instructed the White House operator to postpone his upcoming call with Peter Peterson because he needed to step out of the office for a short duration. He requested that the operator reconnect him in approximately 30 minutes to resume his scheduled communications. This brief exchange served to manage the President's immediate administrative agenda and handle the timing of his telephone traffic.
