        For a nation, it is not always possible to obtain everything one might
        wish.  On this page (1988,1992: on page XXX of the booklet)           
        (1972, 1976: on this card), several different goals are listed.       
                                                                              
        If you had to choose among them, which one would seem most desirable  
        to you?   (RESPONDENT BOOKLET OR SHOW CARD SHOWN TO R)
