Statement by Former Senator Jesse Helms

[Made to the International Committee for the Rescue of KAL 007 Survivors, Inc., on February 13, 2002.]

"I can’t tell you folks how delighted I am that you are continuing and keeping alive the question of what happened to all of the people on that airplane.  I’ll never forget that night when that plane was just beside ours at Anchorage airport with two little girls and their parents.

I taught them, among other things, to say I love you in deaf language, and the last thing they did when they turned the corner was stick up their little hands and tell me they loved me.

I’ll never forget that, and I know you won’t.  Thank you for keeping it alive."
