Bert Schlossberg Presented on KAL 007 in Washington, D.C. and Connecticut

Bert Schlossberg appeared at two meetings in February, 2002.

Hundreds of petitions calling on Presidents Bush and Putin to inquire into the KAL 007 incident were supposed to be delivered by family members following the press conference.  However, neither the White House nor the Russian Embassy were willing to accept them at the time.  Once the appropriate contacts within the two organizations are identified, they will be delivered.
