Lawrence Patton McDonald, M.D. (April 1, 1935 – September 1, 1983) was an American politician and a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing the seventh congressional district of Georgia as a Democrat.
He was a passenger on board Korean Air Lines Flight 007 when it was shot down by Soviet interceptors and presumed dead.
A conservative Democrat, he was active in numerous civic organizations and maintained a very conservative voting record in Congress.
He was known for his staunch opposition to communism and believed in long standing covert efforts by Trilateral Commission and other powerful US groups to bring about a socialism and world government.
He was the second president of the John Birch Society and also a cousin of General George S. Patton.

A conservative Democrat, he was active in numerous civic organizations and maintained a very conservative voting record in Congress.McDonald only ran as a Democrat because his district was traditionally Democrat and a Repbulcian would never have a chance.
From what I understand McDonald was planning to run for President. He had a chance in 84 and would have definitely blown "ex"-CIA commander Poppy Bush out of the water in 88.
The Globalist Banksters weren't going to let that happen.
I knew someone on that aircraft too, though I did not know it until a year after. It was someone I knew from church. She was going to Korea to see her parents, who were missionaries there.

Wiki also says Jesse Helms was on another flight trailing it.
