Executive Order to declare Martial Law in Oregon draft
-
Description
-
A draft of the 'Executive Order to declare Martial Law in Oregon,' which was prepared for Governor Atiyeh to sign in case of a violent incident with the Rajneesh. Following the bombing of Hotel Rajneesh in Portland by a radical Islamic militant group, the Rajneeshpuram Peace Force acquired and displayed semi-automatic weapons. This show of force resulted in heightened tension and fear within the community. Governor Atiyeh kept a copy of the order with him when he was travelling in case of an uprising, but he never had to sign it. This item was a part of the papers of Bob Oliver, Governor Atiyeh's legal counsel.
