Narrative:

Air carrier X was given a heading to avoid a conflict and to increase spacing to jfk. I forgot I left him on a heading. I noticed him go through the airway J70 and at that instant the conflict alert went off. X was in conflict with cpr Y wbound FL390-FL350. I turned X 40 degrees right and then gave him direct lvz on course.
