The Association's policy making body in an official statement observed:
"It is apparent that despite the true friends of civil rights in both parties and in both houses of Congress, a Republican-Democratic coalition is tearing the pending bill to pieces.
"At the present rate of sneaky ditching, chopping and trimming nothing will be left worthy of the support of the civil rights supporters in and out of Congress."
the NAACP Board resolution said.
