All codes within United States have been recoded to 199.
This question was a follow-up to VCF0143.  If R responded "yes" to
VCF0143, then VCF0144 and VCF0145 have been coded 199.
Black Rs were not asked this question in 1960, 1964, 1966, 1968 or
1970 and for these years have been recoded to code 199, United States.  
Parents of foreign-born Rs were also present in missing data during 
these years in the study datasets, but for this variable parental 
birthplaces have been imputed from R's own birth-place, as a
generalized category e.g., "British  Isles" if R were born in England).
