        1962:  How about this statement, "The government in Washington should 
        see to it that white and colored children are allowed  to go to the   
        same schools."  Do you have an opinion on this or not?  (IF YES:) Do  
        you agree that the government should do this or do you think that the 
        government should not do it?                                          
                                                                              
        1964-1986,1990 and later:  Some people say that the government in     
        Washington should see to it that white and black (before 1972: Negro) 
        children go (1964-1970: are allowed to go) to the same schools.       
        Others claim this is not the government's business.  Have you been    
        concerned (1986,1990: interested) enough about [in] this question to  
        favor one side over the other?  (IF YES)  Do you think the government 
        in Washington should ---

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0011/VCF0011A/VCF0011B.                        
                                                                              
        Weight variable VCF0011/VCF0011A/VCF0011B must be used if             
        distributions including 1970 data are desired:  see VCF0011.          
        Note that use of VCF0011/VCF0011A/VCF0011B 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.                 
                                                                              
        In 1962, additional code categories were present besides those        
        appearing here.  1962 categories "yes, qualified," "yes, but there    
        should be no force. Moderate. Gradual," and "no, qualified" were all  
        recoded to 9.                                                         
                                                                              
        A code which appeared only in 1976 as "anti-busing statement qualified
        with statement that R is not against integration or opportunity" has  
        been included in code 9.                                              
                                                                              
               1.  Yes, R has an opinion:  see to it that white and black     
                     children go to the same schools                          
               2.  Yes, R has an opinion:  stay out of this area as it is     
                     none of government's business
