Ronald Reagan actually said...

"They owe the world an apology and an offer to join the rest of the world in working out a system to protect against this ever happening again."

"There was absolutely no justification, either legal or moral, for what the Soviets did."

"The Soviet Union owes the world a fullest possible explanation and apology for their inexcusable act of brutality."

"This is not the first time the Soviets have shot at and hit a civilian airliner when it flew over Soviet territory."
