KAL 007- with Jesse Helms a passenger...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAL_007#Alternative_theories

Just read a book on conspiracy theories, which stated that Jesse Helms & othe conservative US politicians were considering being passengers on KAL 007 in Sept 1983, but were prevented from boarding due to other clashing commitments. WI however they had also been aboard this ill-fated flight ? How esp would US politics later on have been affected had there been no Jesse Helms vis-a-vis the UN ?
 
Well, John Birch Society Chairman Larry McDonald WAS on said flight OTL. If Helms (Or Richard M. Nixon, who was scheduled to be on said flight, according to some sources...) was on there, the Far Right may begin beating the drums for war...and Reagan might hear them...
