GENERAL NOTE:
Built from VCF0609 AND VCF0613.
Component vars are first recoded as follows:   VCF0622,VCF0624:  
1=0,2=50,3=100.  The recoded values are then totaled and divided by the 
number of valid responses.  The result is then rounded.
Weight variable VCF0010/VCF0010A must be used if
distributions including 1970 data are desired:  see VCF0010.
Note that use of VCF0010/VCF0010A 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.
