The RC-135 was 1,000 miles away, over international waters, when the Soviet Sukhoi Su-15 fired its missile at the KAL jet after tracking it for $2 \frac{1}{2}$ hours near Soviet-kedal Sakhalin Island off northern Japan, U.S. officials said.
BLAMING WASHINGTON for the plane, Romanov said, "If one ponders on this unusual, frankly speaking, unprecedented accident, one arrives at the conclusion that its
scenario was prepared in details beyond the ocean.
"It is there that the lives of numerous people were put at stake. And these people lost their lives not at all at the fault of the Soviets, as certain persons in the West are clamoring."
certainly we are new victims of the Cold War, whose apologist and champion the White House is. It will have to reckon with history for these lives, too."
Hernanov's statement, his second in two days on the incident, indicated a serious attempt by the Kremlin to fend off a swelling tide of criticism.
IN WASHINGTON, senior State Department officials told reporters over the holiday weekend that Shulr intended to press for an explanation and "to insist that the Soviet Union comes clean with the facts."

"What they'd put in the paper is 'city invaded,'" she said.
Blessingen agreed, saying that movies such as "Easy Rider" had hurt the reputation of the genre.
"There's some nudity up there," he said.
"When it gets hot, the people take it off."
Yet reporters were not allowed inside the secluded campground because Hughes said they might be shocked by what they saw there. "There's some nudity up there," he said.
The ABATE officials said it might be dangerous if a photographer tried to take a picture of someone who did not want his picture taken.
"You're liable to wind up gettin' hurt," Rick Burnham, a member of ABATE, told one photographer.
BUT RICHARD RUCKER, a ranger at Lake Perry for the Army Corps of Engineers, said there had never been any problems associated with the three-day rally.

The motorcycleclients went to the nearby towns to replain their supplies of food and drinks. Otherwise, they kept very much to themselves.
ABATE describes itself as a brotherhood, and a feeling of camaraderie prevailed at the entrance to the Old Military Trail campground. The motorcyclists saluted each other as they passed in and out of the entrance.
Blessington directed traffic around the clock at the entrance to the campground, allowing motorcycleists who had paid a $15 camping fee to pass freely up the road to the secluded campgrounds at Lake Perry.

BOTH cyclists neglected to bring sleeping bags and other camping gear.
"They are ruthless. Having some days at the campground, having none of the rally said they were tired. On Sunday afternoon, Hughes said he had only birl one hour of sleep since Wednesday

Hughes, who works for Southwestern Bell in
Lawrence, said the organization's key success was a compromise worked out with the Kansas Legislature. In 1975, the Kansas Legislature enacted a law that required all motorcycle riders to wear helmets.
After researching the lobbying efforts of ABATE chapters in other states, ABATE of Kansas successfully lobbied in Topaka to reach compromise on the helmet law, Hughes said.
"It's a lot better solution than being required to wear a helmet," he said.

Many of the riders entering and exiting at the gate to last weekend's party were not wearing helmets.
NOW, ONLY RIDERS under 18 must wear a helmet, he said.
Since the helmet law compromise, ABATE of Kansas has remained politically dormant, although it has been monitoring legislation, Hughes said.

In Seoul, the government scheduled a memorial service expected to draw 65,000 people to a stadium tomorrow to honor the 269 victims. Throughout the nation, thousands of protesters condemned the attack at rallies.

Speaking from the Oval Office, Reagan noted pointedly, "Despite the savagery of their crime, the universal reaction against it and the evildoes that complicit, the Soviets still believe to tell the truth."
Using tapes of intercepted radio transmissions, Reagan scanned at Moscow's suggestion that Soviet fighter at Moscow could either cruise or the jumbo jet of a U.S. spy plane that had earlier crossed its path.
**GEAGAN, PARAPHASING the Russian communications, took note of how the pilot reported spotting "the target" — its navigation lights on — then stalking the aircraft.**
fighter 80 — well, it's the Soviet pilot "finally announces what can only be called the Korean Air Lines Massacre." Reagan said, looking on to the target and firing missiles that sent the jetstream plunging into the Sea of Japan.
"The 747 has a unique and distinctive silhouette, unlike any other plane in the world," Reagan said. "There is no way a pilot could mistake this for anything other than a civilian aircraft."
The evidence, Reagan said, is "incon
trovertible" that the Soviets knowingly shot down the jetliner, despite the "confusing tale" they have offered. Although the Soviets first mistook the 747 for an American RC-133 reconnaissance plane, Reagan stressed that the two aircraft were far apart when the attack began.
REAGAN PRESSED his demand to Moscow for a full accounting of the incident, an admission of responsibility, an apology and punishment of those involved. All 269 people aboard the New York-to Seoul flight, including 61 Americans, are presumed dead.
The president said the United States would file a claim through diplomatic channels for compensation for relatives of the U.S. victims and for any loss of U.S. property, and support efforts by the 13 nations who lost citizens to seek payment from Moscow.

Hogan said he was trying to line up support and other countries to punish the Soviet airline Aeroflot, and noted that Canadian officials had announced Aeroflot would not have landed or refueling privileges on Canadian soil for 60 days.
The sanctions should continue, Reagan said,
"until the Soviets satisfy the cries of humanity for justice."
