        Some people feel that if black people (1964,1968: negroes) are not    
        getting fair treatment in jobs, the government in Washington ought    
        to see to it that they do.  Others feel that this is not the federal  
        government's business.                                                
        Have you had enough interested in this question to favor one side over
        the other?  (IF YES) How do you feel?                                 
                                                                              
        Should the government in Washington see it it that black people get   
        fair treatment in jobs (1986,1988,1992,1996:  or is this not the      
        federal government's business)  1964,1968,1972: or should the         
        government in Washington leave these matters to the states and local  
        communities?)
