The Free Trade Union Committee (FTUC) was created at the 1994 convention of the American Federation of Labor to support non-communist unions abroad. The resolution was drafted by Jay Lovestone who became Executive Secretary.[1] Irving Brown became the FTUC's key man in Europe, leaving for Paris in October 1945. Henry Rutz became the Committee's representative in Germany at around the same time.[2]

In December 1948, FTUC chairman Matthew Woll introduced Jay Lovestone to Frank Wisner of the Office of Policy Coordination. Lovestone began receiving CIA funds from Wisner a month later. Irving Brown also began receiving Marshall Plan funds.[3]
