NOTES:
------
GENERAL NOTE:
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.
1992 NOTE:
This question was asked in both the pre and post; the pre data have 
been incorporated here.
