        SEE VCF0201 FOR QUESTION TEXT.  (1978 and 1982 question wording same  
        as 1980, 1984 and 1988.)                                              
                                                                              
        In 1980, this var was present in both the pre and post.  The pre      
        version is represented here.                                          
                                                                              
        In 1976, the respondent was not asked to give thermometer ratings for 
        individuals about which R "didn't know much" or "didn't know too      
        much."  However, it is unclear whether such cases were coded DK or    
        NA:  they may not have been coded consistently to one MD category.
