Kitzhaber Orders Flags At Half-Staff

The US flag flies at half-staff outside the Oregon capitol building this morning.

Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber has ordered flags at public institutions to be flown at half-staff to honor Mark Hatfield, who passed away Sunday at the age of 89. Kitzhaber says the tribute will continue until the late Senator and Governor is buried. As of this morning, no date has been set for that.
