government pay attention to what the people think, 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
