[0:02] Labor Day, September 5th. From ABC, this

[0:05] is World News Tonight with Peter

[0:07] Jennings. This evening, reporting from

[0:09] Washington.

[0:10] >> Good evening. The fate of Korean

[0:11] Airlines Flight 7 continues to anger,

[0:13] but also to mystify VA's numbers of

[0:15] people. Tonight, here in Washington,

[0:17] during an address from the Oval Office,

[0:19] the president will have the

[0:20] administration's latest details, at

[0:22] least those it wants to make public. Mr.

[0:47] what really happened. Secondly, he will

[0:53] played yesterday for congressional

[0:54] delegation here. you play them on

[0:56] television so that we will actually be

[0:58] able to hear the Soviet pilots during

[1:00] those final moments before they shot

[1:02] down the plane. Mr. Reagan himself will

[1:04] not give us a direct translation but

[1:06] will paraphrase what the Soviet pilots

[1:08] have said in Russian. And third, he will

[1:10] outline Peter some of the steps that he

[1:12] hopes the world will take to further

[1:15] this. Mainly st
