        This variable does not count contacts other than the 7 NES-specified  
        contacts (met personally/ attended meeting/ talked to staff/ received 
                                                                              
        In one district in 1992, two Republican 'incumbents' ran against each 
        other (LA06) due to redistricting, but neither candidate had          
        previously represented the geographic area corresponding to the       
        reconfigured district.  As a result, this race has been treated as    
        an open race.  In House-level thermometers, likes/dislikes, contact   
        etc., one Republican candidate (always the same one) has been folded  
        into the data normally pertaining to the Democratic candidate. VCF0902
        (type of race) code 45 can be used to filter out such 1992 Republican 
        cases.                                                                
                                                                              
        Responses referring to an independent or 'other' candidate are not    
        recorded here for districts having only one major party candidate     
        (e.g. type race 23 in VCF0902).                                       
                                                                              
        NOTE:  946-949 have not been altered as a result of corrections to    
        1978 data for type of House race (see notes VCF0902).
