        Some people believe that we should spend much less money for defense. 
        (1996: Suppose these people are at one end of a scale, at point 1.)   
        Others feel that defense spending should be greatly increased. (1996: 
        Suppose these people are at the other end, at point 7.)               
                                                                              
        Where would you place yourself on this scale or haven't you thought   
        much about this?  (7-POINT SCALE SHOWN TO R)
