Jeane Jordan Kirkpatrick (November 19, 1926 – December 7, 2006) is a former United States ambassador and a foreign policy adviser to President Ronald Reagan. Kirkpatrick served one term as the U.S. Ambassador to the UN and stepped down in April 1985. Her time at the U.N. may well be remembered best by her denunciations of the Soviet shooting down of Korean Airlines Flight 007 on September 1. 1983 just west of Sakhalin Island. KAL 007 was carrying 269 passengers and crew, including a sitting U.S. Congressman, Larry McDonald from Georgia.
She was a member of the Young People's Socialist League during her youth.
