President Richard Nixon’s daily diary shows a busy evening on July 20, 1969. Nixon’s last phone call took place at 11:45 P.M. It was an “interplanetary conversation” with astronauts Neil Armstrong and “Buzz” Aldrin, from the moon. During the conversation Armstrong said: “It’s a great honor and privilege for us to be here representing not only the United States but men of peace of all nations.”
