The measure passed by voice vote with few dissenters and awaits action by the House of Delegates. Robert Lee Tullis pressed for the Black issue but was ruled out of order. The text includes a note by Chair L B Day about inserting the word public into the substitute. Tullis argued the association should have stated a view on the Black appointment.
