Yates met with unidentified individuals in the Oval Office to engage in an informal, disjointed conversation involving vague references to someone's volatile mental state and aggressive intent. The participants discussed work ethics and the status of an individual named Bard while coordinating the retrieval of materials from a lower level of the White House. The interaction remained largely cryptic, focused more on personal observations than formal administrative or policy matters.","topics":["White House Operations","Personnel","Work Ethics","Oval Office"],"generatedAt":"2026-04-09T00:46:22.786Z"},"topicSlugs":["white-house-operations","personnel","work-ethics","oval-office"],"audioDurationSec":373,"audioFiles":[{"file":"946-023.mp3","bytes":11927552,"durationSec":372.64,"bitrate":256065,"missing":false}],"audioIsShared":false,"audioProbedAt":"2026-09-18T02:20:06.649Z","findingAidSource":"nixonlibrary.gov subject log (2024-05), reslice-v2","findingAidUpdatedAt":"2026-09-18T08:45:07.363Z","audio":["https://nixon.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/audio/946-023.mp3"],"url":"https://www.easynixon.org/tapes/946-023","nixonLibraryUrl":"https://www.nixonlibrary.gov/white-house-tapes/946/conversation-946-023","license":"Public domain (U.S. Government work).
