GENERAL NOTE:
Weight variable VCF0011/VCF0011A must be used if
distributions including 1970 data are desired:  see VCF0011.
Note that use of VCF0011/VCF0011A as a weight reduces the
1970 total N for this variable:  form 1 whites who should appear as
code 0 INAP cases are excluded from the 1970 total N.
1962 NOTE:
Additional code categories were present besides those appearing here.  
1962 categories "yes, qualified," "yes, but there should be no force. 
Moderate. Gradual," and "no, qualified" were recoded to 9 here.
1976 NOTE:
"Anti-busing statement qualified with statement that R is not against 
integration or opportunity" has been included in code 9.
