        Was there any bill in particular that you remember how <House running 
        incumbent> voted on in the last couple of years?                      
        -------------------------------------------------------------------   
                                                                              
        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.                        
                                                                              
        If the U.S. House representative in R's district was NOT running for  
        re-election (i.e., was 'retiring'), then this question does not apply 
        (0 coded).                                                            
                                                                              
        In 1990 for New Jersey congressional district 01, the U.S.            
        Representative was neither 'retiring' nor running at the time of the  
        1990 general elections.  The Representative from NJ01 had campaigned  
        for and been elected to another office in 1989, and the office of     
        Representative was not (in effect) occupied until after the 1990      
        elections (code 0).                                                   
                                                                              
        The 1978 and 1982 versions of this variable were not comparable.      
        If there was no running incumbent and no post IW, then 9 (no post) has
        been coded.

            8.   DK                                                           
            9.   NA; INAP, no post IW (1988); question not used               
            0.   No running incumbent (includes Washington D.C.); NJ01 (1990)
