After an attempt to parcel out the hit jobs required to kill the senators, Mr. Camil’s plan was presented to all the chapter coordinators present and the VVAW leadership.

Nice catch, but I still see a leap from that to:

"Scott Camil had gone so far as to recruit assassins and parcel out targets."

The key distinction being the word "attempt."

Not much of a leap. More like a baby step. But I see your point. I'll keep digging.
