Who did what, now?[edit]

In the "History" section of this article, there is a sentence which discusses who initiated discussions that resulted in the formation of the OI. To be clear, there were five parties in these discussions:

Thomas R. Donahue
Donahue's assistant (name not known)
A former director of organizing and field services at the AFL-CIO (name not known)
The leaders of five AFL-CIO unions
Richard Bensinger

A recent change made it sound as if Donahue's assistant was the director of organizing and field services. It was not. If someone can some up with a better way of phrasing this (or, better yet, identify these people by name), that might help. - Tim1965 13:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
