SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NARA is proposing to open approximately 165 
conversations which were recorded at the Nixon White House in November 
1972. These conversations total approximately 11 hours and 30 minutes 
of listening time. NARA is proposing to open three tapes from November 
1972. They are: White House Telephone Tape 33, recorded between 
November 3, 1972 and November 19, 1972; White House Old Executive 
Office Building tape 388, recorded on November 8, 1972; and White House 
Oval Office tape 813, recorded on November 8, 1972. This is the 
eleventh opening of Nixon White House tapes since 1980. There are no 
transcripts for these tapes. Tape subject logs, prepared by NARA, are 
offered for public access as a finding aid to the tape segments and a 
guide for the listener. There is a separate tape log entry for each 
conversation. Each tape log entry includes the names of participants; 
date and inclusive times of each conversation; location of the 
conversation; and an outline of the content of the conversation.
    The tape recordings will be made available in the research room at 
8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, Maryland no earlier than noon on the 
opening date. Researchers must have a NARA researcher card, which they 
may obtain when they arrive at the facility. Listening stations will be 
available for public use on a first come, first served basis. NARA 
reserves the right to limit listening time in response to heavy demand.
