 poisoned salad bars near The Dalles with salmonella. Though none died, hundreds got sick, and the incident is often cited as the largest bioterror attack on American soil to date.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 the time, he kept a very low profile, with major public roles played by Oregon’s secretary of state, attorney general, and superintendent of public instruction. These documents, many of them from the governor's legal assistant, provide us with new ways of

 operations, as well as interrogations as the crisis developed,” she added. "The documents show that while Gov. Atiyeh maintained a calm face in public, behind the scenes he was keeping a close eye on the situation.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The 1950 Willamette National Cemetery is located approximately 10 miles southeast of Portland in Clackamas and Multnomah Counties, Oregon. Situated along Mt. Scott Boulevard, the 307-acre
 cemetery provides scenic views of four mountains, the City of Portland, and the Columbia and Willamette Rivers.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">            The Willamette National Cemetery was the first national cemetery in the northwest United States, followed by the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Honolulu, HI) and Puerto
 Rico National Cemetery (Bayamon, PR). Though authorized by Congress in 1941, the cemetery’s development was delayed by the onset of World War II. After the war, the establishment of new national cemeteries was necessary to accommodate the growing veteran population. 
 With burials beginning in 1951, Willamette National Cemetery contained 151,043 interments as of June 2012.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">            The Willamette National Cemetery utilizes only flat granite markers, rather than upright marble markers. This modern aesthetic, influenced by the lawn and memorial park movements,
 takes advantage of the site’s natural scenic qualities, allowing native trees and uninterrupted views to define the cemetery.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">            The National Park Service has stated that all National Cemeteries are to be considered eligible for listing in the National Register “as a result of their Congressional designation
 as nationally significant places of burial and commemoration.” Willamette National Cemetery is one of two in Oregon. The second cemetery, Eagle Point National Cemetery, is significant in part for its historic association with Camp White, a World War II-era
 military training center in Jackson County. The Eagle Point National Cemetery was recommended for listing in the National Register by the Oregon State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation in their February 2016 meeting.
