HARRISBURG, Pa. - December 17, 2008 - Officials say a clerk in the governor's mail room discovered
white powder leaking from an envelope at around 2 p.m. Police shut
down that section of the Capitol and ordered about a dozen
employees out of nearby offices.
Gov. Ed Rendell's spokesman, Chuck Ardo, says the envelope was
postmarked from Texas - just like similar letters that have been
sent to more than 40 governors' offices around the country.
Authorities have said that the powder in all of those letters
tested negative for any dangerous toxins.
