NOTES:
------
GENERAL NOTE:
If the U.S. House representative in R's district was NOT running for
re-election (i.e., was 'retiring'), then this question does not
apply (0 coded).
If there was no running incumbent and no post IW, then 9 (no post) has
been coded.
1978 NOTE:
The 1978 version of this variable was not coded comparably.
1982 NOTE:
Study data included variables for 2 running incumbents due to
redistricting in two congressional districts (19 cases affected). For
this year, the running incumbent who represented R's sampling location
BEFORE the 1982 redistricting has been considered R's 'incumbent' for
Cumulative Data File definition. See note VCF0902 describing the
congressional districts affected and designation of candidates as the
(running) 'incumbent.'
