At the meeting, the Governor requested a report to detail the facts and timeline surrounding the efforts undertaken by state agencies involved in the search.

Several newspaper articles in the past week have questioned the effectiveness of the search for the Kim family.

Questions raised about effectiveness of search

"It is my hope that after we obtain the facts around this search effort, that we can come together - state and local entities - to review our respective roles and identify ways to strengthen our coordination, communication and search efforts in the future," Gov. Kulongoski said.

"After this report at the state level is completed, I will appoint a task force, working with local and state entities, to review our collective approach to search and rescue efforts and develop recommendations for how to strengthen this partnership across state and local jurisdictions."

The report is due to the Governor's office by January 5, 2007.
