Officials to Testify on Air Defense Woes
WASHINGTON (AP) --
Air security officials are making adjustments and lawmakers are
questioning whether military jets can adequately intercept hostile
aircraft over the nation's capital after a harrowing incident last
month during Ronald Reagan's funeral.
Military aircraft patrolling over Washington were unable to get into
position where they could have shot down a suspicious plane, officials
said.
The plane turned out to be carrying Kentucky's governor to the
funeral, but miscommunication among U.S. defense agencies turned the
routine flight into a frantic evacuation of the Capitol.
