        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)                
                                                                              
        (IF FIRST CHOICE GIVEN:) Which one {goal for our nation} would be your
        second choice?
