NOTES:
------
GENERAL NOTE:
This variable has been created from R's party ID (VCF0301) and
from type of congressional race (VCF0902).  The respondent has
been considered a partisan if R was coded as 'strong' 'weak' or leaning.
WARNING:  
In years prior to 1978, no 'type of race' var was present in study 
datasets.  Data were added, however, to 'type of race' cumulative file 
var 902 for 1970, 1974 and 1976 using a lengthy case-by-case 
procedure.  Although the resultant 'type of race' data have been 
checked to some extent, the possibility of some error must be 
recognized:  the 'type of race' established for 1970, 1974 and 1976--
and, as a further result, data in VCF1004 and VCF1005 for 1970, 1974
and 1976 (which have been built using type-of-race data)-- should be
used with caution and at the user's risk.
