GENERAL NOTE:
In 1964-1968, these questions were combined into a single variable.
Beginning in 1970, the filter question ('have you been interested
enough..') was represented in a separate variable. Beginning in
1970, in cases where R's response to the filter question was "no" or
"DK," then 9 has been coded.
1992 NOTE:
46 cases were not asked this question due to an error in skip
instructions.
