        Some people are afraid the government in Washington is getting too    
        powerful for the good of the country and the individual person.       
        Others feel that the government in Washington is not getting too      
        strong (1964,1966,1970: has not gotten too strong for the good of the 
        country).                                                             
                                                                              
        1964-1972:  Have you been interested enough in this to favor one side 
        over the other?                                                       
        1976-1992:  Do you have an opinion on this or not?                    
                                                                              
        ALL YEARS:  (IF YES:)  What is your feeling?

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.                        
                                                                              
        In 1964-1968, these questions were combined into a single variable.   
        Beginning in 1970, the filter question ('have you been interested     
        enough..')  was represented in a separate variable.  Beginning in     
        1970, in cases where R's reponse to the filter question was "no" or   
        "DK," then 9 has been coded.  If R's response to the filter question  
        was NA, then 0 has been coded.                                        
                                                                              
        Note that in 1992, 46 cases were not asked this question due to an    
        error in skip instructions (NA).
