        People have (1958,1964: I'd like to talk about some of the) different 
        ideas about the government in Washington.  These ideas don't refer to 
        Democrats or Republicans in particular, but just to government in     
        general.  We want to see how you feel about these ideas.  (1996 and   
        later: For example:)                                                  
                                                                              
        How much of the time do you think you can trust the government in     
        Washington to do what is right -- just about always, most of the time 
        or only some of the time?

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.                        
                                                                              
        The order in which questions VCF0604-VCF0608 appear may vary from     
        year to year.                                                         
                                                                              
        In 1966, an additional response option was read to Rs:  "almost       
        never."  In all other years, the "none" or "never" response was       
        volunteered by the R only.                                            
                                                                              
        In 1988, the placement of this variable within Post question order    
        varied according to questionnaire 'Form' (see VCF0012).

               2.  Some of the time                                           
               3.  Most of the time
