        In 1984 and 1986, R was first asked a more generalized filter question
        about contributions to support campaigns:                             
                                                                              
           1984: As you know, during an election year people are often asked  
           to make a contribution to support campaigns. During the last year  
           did you give any money to an individual candidate, a political     
           party organization, people supporting a ballot proposition, or to a
           particular issue or interest group?                                
           1986: As you know, during an election year people are often asked  
           to make a contribution to support campaigns.  During the past year 
           did you give any money to an individual candidate, or to a         
           political party organization?                                      
                                                                              
        If R responded "no" to this filter question, then VCF0741 has been    
        coded 2 in 1984/1986.  If the filter question was MD, then VCF0741    
        in 1984/1986 has been coded 0.
