We propose to survey in the [OI] line seven high redshift IRAS sources selected so their redshift places the [OI] line in the most sensitive part of the LWS range, namely 100<lambda<180, translating to 0.58<z<1.5. While most of these sources are classified as quasars, their infrared emission suggests a substantial interstellar medium, which we could partially characterize using the [OI] fine structure line. We estimate the [OI] line should be detectable typically in one hour of integration if its relative intensity is comparable to starbursts values. In all cases, we expect to place interesting upper limits on the warm and dense photo-dissociated ISM in these objects.
