        Name of Republican candidate from the election held during year of IW 
        was given.                                                            
                                                                              
        In one district in 1992, two Republican 'incumbents' ran against each 
        other (LA06) due to redistricting, but neither candidate had          
        previously represented the geographic area corresponding to the       
        reconfigured district.  As a result, this race has been treated as    
        an open race.  In House-level thermometers, likes/dislikes, contact   
        etc., one Republican candidate (always the same one) has been folded  
        into the data normally pertaining to the Democratic candidate [SEE    
        VCF0906].  VCF0902 (type of race) code 45 can be used to filter such  
        1992 Republican cases from "Democratic" variables.                    
                                                                              
        Responses referring to an independent or 'other' candidate are not    
        recorded here for districts having only one major party candidate     
        (e.g. type race 23 in VCF0902).                                       
                                                                              
        NOTE:  906-909 have not been altered as a result of corrections to    
        1978 data for type of House race (see notes VCF0902).                 
                                                                              
        In 1996 and 1998, the order of thermometers for all individuals except
        Presidential candidates was randomized. In 1998, the order of         
        thermometers for all individuals except President was randomized.
