The report made no reference to the plane being a Korean Air Lines jet that the U.S. government said was shot down by a Soviet fighter over Sakhalin. Presidential spokesman Larry Speakes, briefing reporters on the West Coast, where Reagan is vacationing, said, "There are no circumstances that can justify the unprecedented attack on an unarmed civilian aircraft."
