April 15, 1973.

Telephone conversation:  L. Higby and HR Haldeman

Pres. Nixon:  For Mr. Haldeman?

Operator:  Yes.

Operator:  Mr. Haldeman, Mr. Higby wants you.

L. Higby:  Hello, Bob.

HR Haldeman:  Yeah.

L. Higby:  John Dean just called me.  He had a message he wanted to relay to
               the President through you.  He would not speak directly to you.

HR Haldeman:  Alright.

L. Higby:  (1) I hope you understand my actions are motivated totally out of
               loyalty to you, the President.

HR Haldeman:  Wait a minute.

L. Higby:  totally out of loyalty to you and the President.

HR Haldeman:  Yep

L. Higby:  And if it's not clear now -

HR Haldeman:  Uh, huh.

L. Higby:  it will become clear.

HR Haldeman:  Wait a minute.

L. Higby:  (2) Ehrlichman requested to meet tonight -

HR Haldeman:  Yeah.

L. Higby:  but I feel inappropriate at this time.

HR Haldeman:  Just a minute.  Ok.

L. Higby:  I am ready and willing to meet with you, meaning the President, at
               any time to discuss these matters.

HR Haldeman:  Just a minute.

L. Higby:  (3) I think you, meaning the President, should take your counsel
               from Henry Peterson who I assure you does not want the
               Presidency hurt.

HR Haldeman:  Hmph.

L. Higby:  That was the end of his message.  He was calling you from his home,
               the operator said.

HR Haldeman:  From his home?

L. Higby:  That's what the operator said.

HR Haldeman:  How long ago was that?  Just now?

L. Higby:  Yes, sir.

HR Haldeman:  Ok.  Thank you very much.

L. Higby:  Yes sir.
