The tapes had an 18 minute and 30-second gap. The missing content from the recording remains unknown, but the gap occurs during a conversation between Nixon and H. R. Haldeman.

Rose Mary Woods, Nixon's secretary, took responsibility for a supposed mishap. Later, a forensic investigation in 2003 concluded that the tape had been erased in different segments, possibly as many as nine.
