BREAKING NEWS: Mysterious Powder Found in Oregon Capitol
09/25/2002
Associated Press
The Oregon Capitol building was evacuated Wednesday after an envelope bearing a Pakistani postmark was found to contain white powder, police said.
"We got a call saying that there was an envelope with a Pakistani postmark that was opened to reveal a large amount of white powder," said Lt. Bill Kohlmeyer, a spokesman for the Salem police.
Kohlmeyer said he didn't know if the envelope contained a letter.
The envelope was found in a third-floor mailroom, said Oregon State Police Lt. Glenn Chastain. He said the person who opened the envelope, as well as several state troopers called to the scene, were still in the mailroom, apparently to isolate them.
He said no one had fallen ill from the powder.
A hazardous materials team was brought in to investigate, said Herb Colomb, building manager at the Capitol. Dozens of police and fire vehicles surrounded the building, and the street in front of the Capitol was blocked off.
Gov. John Kitzhaber was not in the Capitol when the envelope was discovered, but was giving a speech at a forestry conference at Willamette University.

They are now reporting that the building is still evacuated except for the troopers who responded first, and the folks in the mail room who opened the package are being isolated temporarily, while they try and determine if there is any real danger....
Standard proceedure for "suspicious" events of this sort...
proves nothing... but still an interesting alert for those of us who live in the Northwest.
