VCF0827a R Placement: U.S. Stand in Vietnam Scale

QUESTION:
---------
(1968,1970: There is much talk about "hawks" and "doves" in connection 
with Vietnam, and considerable disagreement as to what action the United 
States should take in Vietnam.) (1972: With regard to Vietnam,)  
Some people think we should do everything necessary to win a complete 
military victory, no matter what results. Some people think we should 
withdraw completely from Vietnam right now, no matter what results. 
And, of course, other people have opinions somewhere between these two 
extreme positions.  Suppose the people who support an immediate 
withdrawal are at one end of this scale (show card to R) at point number 
1.  And suppose the people who support a complete military victory are 
at the other end of the scale at point number 7. At what point on the 
scale would you place yourself on this scale (1972 only: or haven't you 
thought much about this)? [RESPONDENT BOOKLET]
