| 1970-Quaker House in the Cross-hairs From
early in its existence, Quaker House was under frequent surveillance by both Army
Intelligence agents and
undercover FBI informants.
The documents below, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, show the extent
of this government spying. Many more documents were withheld by the agencies; the CIA also
acknowledged having a file on Quaker house, but declined to release any of its contents.
The reports on the suspicious fire of May 20, 1970, is taken from these intelligence
files. Other GI organizing projects around the country were also subject to such apparent
and unsolved attacks.
The response of Quaker House staff and board members to the fire was defiant, and the
project continued.
