HELSINKI, Finland — The government today returned to the Soviet Union the wreckage of an errant Soviet missile--together with a bill for $83,600 for recovery costs.
A brief Foreign Ministry statement said the remnants of the missile, which landed in a lake near the Soviet border on Dec. 28 during target practice, were handed over at the Finnish frontier railroad station at Vainikkala. The ministry said Moscow agreed to pay the recovery costs.
