COLUMNS 440 - 440
NUMERIC
MD EQ 0
Over the years, how much attention do you feel the government pays to
what the people think when it decides what to do -- a good deal, some,
or not much?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0010/VCF0010A/VCF0010B.
Weight variable VCF0010/VCF0010A/VCF0010B must be used if
distributions including 1970 data are desired: see VCF0010.
Note that use of VCF0010/VCF0010A/VCF0010B as a weight reduces the
1970 total N for this variable: form 2 whites who should appear as
code 0 INAP cases are excluded from the 1970 total N.
Except for 1976 and 1980, this question was preceded by the
introduction appearing for VCF0604. The order of Study year questions
corresponding to Cumultive File vars VCF0605-VCF0608,VCF0622-VCF0625
may have varied from year to year.
In 1988, the placement of this variable within Post question order
varied according to questionnaire 'Form' (see VCF0012).
