020-045 February 3, 1972 White House Telephone Julie Nixon Eisenhower calls her father President Richard Nixon to ask him what she should say to reporters on the topic of busing, then a hot topic in race issues. He goes through his official stance on the issue for her. Nixon's Chief of Staff HR (Bob) Haldeman initially answers the phone. (NARA censors beeped the ending of the conversation out as "personal.")
