        This question was a follow-up to VCF0143.  If R responded "yes" to    
        VCF0143, then VCF0144 and VCF0145 have been coded 199.                
                                                                              
        Black Rs were not asked this question in 1960, 1964, 1966, 1968 or    
        1970 and for these years have been recoded in Cumulative Data File    
        VCF0144 to code 199, United States.  Parents of foreign-born Rs were  
        also present in missing data during these years in the original       
        datasets, but for this variable parental birthplaces have been        
        imputed from R's own birth-place, as a more generalized category      
        (e.g., "British  Isles" if R were born in England).                   
                                                                              
        Personal data forms were completed for no-pre cases in 1960:  data    
        from these forms were incorporated in the 1960 pre var listed here.
