The New Years Gang issue a communiqué to a local paper claiming that they perpetrated this attack. The New Years Gang previously attempted to firebomb the R.O.T.C. building a week earlier. As a result of the attack, police increased their presence in Madison. Karl Armstrong's girlfriend, Lynn Schultz, drove him to and from the Old Red Gym. The next day Armstrong would attempt to set a fire in the Selective Service offices in Madison. (197001030001) Karl Armstrong would be captured after participating in the deadly bombing of Sterling Hall at the University of Wisconsin on August 24, 1970. (197008240001)

It is suspected that the perpetrator was attempting to look for his own draft file. This incident did not disrupt this particular Selective Service office since there was a duplicate of all of the records on microfilm. In a sixth month period, the Oregon Selective Service Headquarters was firebombed three other times (197005060006, 197006030001, and 197008100001).

Part of a multiple attack with 197002030001. The incendiary device was thought to be similar to the one in 197002030001, but it was destroyed before authorities could make any conclusions. An incendiary device in a cigarette package was also used by MIRA in an attack against a store in New York City one year after this incident. (197103190002) Many different terrorist groups targeted in New York Department Stores in early 1970s. This attack might be linked with 197002020001.

The general consensus among sources is that the attack was carried out by White Racists. After the incident Senator Dore moved to another part of town. This attack has been linked with the bombing of the home of Seattle State Legislator David Sprague (197004190004). On the same day as this incident, a Jewish synagogue was bombed in Seattle (197002060003).
