        In 1956-1968,1972,1976, this question followed the question about R's
        father's interest in politics  (SEE VCF0308):

        "Do you remember when you were growing up whether your father was very
        much interested in politics, somewhat interested, or didn't he pay
        much attention to it?"

        In 1972, if R's response to the preceding question was DK or NA, then
        this question was not asked and VCF0306 has been coded 0.

        Prior to 1972, code 2 was a volunteered code only.

        In 1988 only, DK was combined with "other" codes (code 4).
