On February 16, 1971, a taping system was installed in the White House's Oval Office and Cabinet Room. Three months later, microphones were put in Nixon's private office in the Old Executive Office Building, followed by microphones in the presidential lodge at Camp David the next year.
President Trump's Friday morning tweetstorm about previous FBI chief James B. Comey has prompted hypothesis that the Trump organization has taken a page from Richard Nixon's playbook by secretly recording discussions inside the White House.
As it works out, Nixon wasn't the main president to record his discussions. Six American presidents — from Franklin Delano Roosevelt to Nixon — taped at any rate a portion of their discussions. President Ronald Reagan and his replacements had a few gatherings recorded.
There are various reasons presidents should have their discussions recorded. At times these reasons cross-over.
To begin with, they can assist with safeguarding the president from later contentions about who expressed out loud whatever — and when. According to Nixon's proficient head of staff, H.R. Haldeman, the "essential plan" of taping discussions was to safeguard Nixon, as prior presidents who had taped their discussions, "from the advantageous slips of memory of his partners." The reason for the tapes "was not," Haldeman contended, "to give tapes to antiquarians to examine, however for the president's utilization alone — for reference when guests … offered expressions that tangled with their confidential discussions with the president." Trump's tweet unobtrusively repeats Haldeman's clarification.
Second, they can later be adapted. Sharp onlooker that he was, Haldeman additionally noticed "an optional advantage" of the tapes, that of giving the president "with significant reference material for his own utilization." Nixon's ancestor, Lyndon Johnson, had in like manner found his own recorded phone discussions valuable when he composed his journal, "The Vantage Point." As per Nixon, Johnson:
Consequently, recorded discussions can give the natural substance to beneficial post-administration journals.
At last, taped discussions might be all the more quickly helpful in running the White House, which is a huge and complex association. Presidents no question have a feeling that they are leaving a mark on the world, so having a record of telephone discussions or gatherings is likewise helpful for directing everyday undertakings.
Nixon was really unequivocal that the mystery of the taping framework was foremost. In the principal discussion caught on tape, for instance, Nixon portrayed the explanation for his choice to tape to Alexander Butterfield, the assistant who uncovered the presence of the taping framework to the legislative council researching Watergate in July 1973. Repeating the reasoning he would communicate years after the fact in his diaries, Nixon told Butterfield "the motivation behind this is to have the entire thing on the document for proficient reasons." Butterfield let the president know that he had gone over the possible utilization of the tapes for note-taking with Haldeman, and noticed that the framework was an office mysterious, on the grounds that "there are just five individuals who have some familiarity with it, beyond Haldeman, then, at that point, you and me."
Besides, Nixon didn't need a word for word record of his gatherings or telephone discussion. "Mum's the entire word. I won't be translated," Nixon told Butterfield and Haldeman. If for reasons unknown material from the tapes was required, maybe, as Nixon noted, "perhaps we need to put out something positive, perhaps we really want something just to be certain that we can address the record." That's what haldeman noticed, as opposed to make reference to the presence of a taping framework, the remedy would be "based on 'Butterfield's notes' or 'the president's notes' or 'my notes.' "
Nixon and Haldeman independently talked about utilizations of the mystery taping framework to audit tapes connected with the exposure that Undersecretary of the Inside Fred Russell had been terminated. In one discussion, Nixon recommended to Haldeman that he utilize the tape with respect to guidelines on how Russell's abdication cum-terminating ought to be depicted to the media. Haldeman was obviously excited and prompted the president, "How about we utilize the recording," yet proposed it be finished "based on your notes." Nixon again communicated his craving to keep away from tape record: "I don't maintain that you should decipher those except if it's significant. See?"
Affirming what he said in his journals years after the fact, in one more taped discussion Nixon deplored the issues of having a note taker in gatherings to Haldeman: "It simply doesn't attempt to have someone be in here each moment." The sheer volume of memoranda of discussion (memcons), phone discussion (telcons) records, meeting notes, journals, and memoranda for the record, and a great many pages of text based reports delivered by the organization verify Nixon's craving for careful, solid and precise record — yet in addition a record that would compliment the organization.
Consequently, Nixon had different explanations behind recording his discussions, including keeping up with political influence, regulatory record-keeping, the money related worth of the accounts, the capacity to utilize records to re-imagine news, and furthermore of vanity.
We don't have the foggiest idea yet whether Trump has a taping framework in his White House. Assuming he does, it is conceivable that he may be propelled by a portion of similar reasons as Nixon was — influence, self image and twist. It might likewise be that tapes have unforeseen ramifications for Trump. Nixon's anxiety with maintaining the tapes mystery most likely was on the grounds that he guessed that public information on them could imply that they were utilized as a public weapon against him. Assuming that Trump has tapes, he might wind up comparatively discomforted.
