Description
-
A May 6, 1982 State of Oregon interoffice memo from Bob Oliver to Gerry Thompson regarding the Festival of Enlightenment. The memo summarizes a meeting with Pat Amedeo and Bob Stacey, representing Henry Richmond of 1000 Friends of Oregon, about the controversy surrounding the festival scheduled for July. The memo discusses requests for the Governor to direct further review of water and sewage facilities and to instruct the Attorney General to appeal Wasco County's issuance of the mass gathering permit. A handwritten note reading "agree" is visible in the margin. Oliver served as the legal counsel to Governors McCall and Atiyeh, playing a particularly important behind-the-scenes role as Public Safety Coordinator during the Rajneesh crisis.
