        How much do you feel that political parties help to make the          
        government pay attention to what the people think, a good deal, some  
        or not much?                                                          
        -------------------------------------------------------------------   
                                                                              
        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0010/VCF0010A/VCF0010B.                        
                                                                              
        Weight variable VCF0010/VCF0010A/VCF0010B must be used if             
        distributions including 1970 data are desired:  see VCF0010.          
        Note that use of VCF0010/VCF0010A/VCF0010B as a weight reduces the    
        1970 total N for this variable:  form 2 whites who should appear as   
        code 0 INAP cases are excluded from the 1970 total N.                 
                                                                              
        Except for 1976 and 1980, this question was preceded by the           
        introduction appearing for VCF0604.  The order of Study year questions
        corresponding to Cumultive File vars VCF0605-VCF0608,VCF0622-VCF0625
