President Nixon: Hello?

Operator: Mr. [Ronald] Ziegler∇.

President Nixon: Ron?

Ronald Ziegler: Yes, sir.

President Nixon: I just wanted you to be totally sure--and I also called [Bob] Haldeman∇ to be sure that he backs you up--that my order on [Jerrold] Schecter and all--and [Hugh] Sidey--and all the bastards at Time is totally understood and totally enforced for the four years I'm in office. Under no circumstances whatever is any call to be returned to Time magazine, that everything--and isn't anybody to see them. Is that totally, absolutely understood and clear?

Ziegler: Yes, sir. I made--

President Nixon: Thank you very much.

Ziegler: I made the calls yesterday.
