Radial velocities and relative fluxes of emission lines in the spectrum of RS Oph obtained 70 days after the 1985 outburst are presented. The spectra cover the range 3300 A to 6930 A with a resolution between 1 A and 4 A. Strong coronal lines of argon, manganese, iron, and nickel are present and temperatures in the emission region are estimated using their line ratios and the assumption of coronal equilibrium. A blueshifted velocity component is observed in some of the strong coronal lines and in He I and H II. This component was also seen in a previous outburst, but shifted toward the red. The need for a model which explains the observed optical line strengths and velocity structure is stressed.
