        POST-ELECTION INTERVIEW DATA PRESENT
        -------------------------------------------------------------------

        In non-presidential years, NES conducts a post-election interview
        only, and all non-presidential years have been coded 1.*

        Note that in 1956 NO cases without post-election reinterviews were
        included in the final dataset and that in 1948 all cases in the
        release datafile were interviewed in the post (some 1948 cases were
        not interviewed in the pre, however).

        The following list identifies presidential-year variables which were
        pre or post in the original datasets [var numbering not necessarily
        continuous, and some vars listed below as 'pre' may be processing vars
        which refer to the post election wave as well, and/or some vars listed
        below as 'post' may be contextual, derived, or vote validation vars
        which refer to pre-only cases as well]:

          1996    V960001-V960862      V960900-V961513

        In 1968, 9 cases which were no-post had some information about voting
        behavior noted on their coversheets:  although defined as "no-post,"
        these cases were nonetheless represented in (post) vote variables in
        the original dataset, and such coversheet-derived vote information has
        also been included in Cumulative Data File voting variables where
        appropriate.

    * Note that the 1954 study was a minor study conducted in October of
    1954 and has been the only non-presidential year study conducted with
    pre-election interviews.  However, 1954 is coded 1 together with other
    non-presidential years in VCF0013.  The 1954 study was comprised of only
    27 variables and is represented in the Cumulative Data File in the
    following vars only:  VCF0104-VCF0106, VCF0110, VCF0112-VCF0114, VCF0127,
    VCF0128, VCF0140, VCF0301-VCF0305, VCF0701, VCF9027.
