        Recently there has been a lot of talk about women's rights. Some      
        people feel that women should have an equal role with men in running  
        business, industry, and government. Others feel that women's place is 
        in the home.                                                          
                                                                              
        Where would you place <the Republican U.S. House Candidate> on this   
        scale? (7-POINT SCALE SHOWN TO R)                                     
                                                                              
        WOMEN'S EQUAL ROLE--  REPUBLICAN HOUSE CANDIDATE'S RATING ON 7-POINT  
        SCALE                                                                 
        -------------------------------------------------------------------   
                                                                              
        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.                        
                                                                              
        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).                                       
                                                                              
        NO SELF-PLACEMENT INAPS:                                              
        In all years before 1998, if R replied DK or "haven't thought much    
        about it" in rating self on this same 7-point scale, then R was not   
        asked this question.                                                  
                                                                              
        In 1998, randomization occurred for the order of the 2 major party    
        House candidate names for this placement.
