More information and better understanding: In the Oregon tax form the stimulus deduction is entered in the Fed Tax Liab Worksheet. If your federal tax liability is large enough (e.g. in my case greater than $6950+$3600 = $10550). Then you will still receive the maximum $6950 tax liability deduction on Oregon 40 line 10. I believe some of the local press implied otherwise but the forms don't lie.
