Senate defeats Bullock as Yarborough seen for Insurance Board
The Texas Senate rejected Secretary of State Bob Bullock for the State Insurance Board in a split 19 to 11 vote. Rumors linked former U. S. Senator Ralph Yarborough to the post, though Yarborough denied being offered the job. Gov. Preston Smith faced pressure from AFL-CIO President Roy Evans and Sen. Oscar Mauzy to appoint Yarborough, while Smith criticized the Senate for blocking a consumer-protective board seat.
