VAR CF0522    WHICH PARTY WILL BEST AVOID WAR

        Looking ahead, do you think the problem of keeping out of
        war (1966-1972: a bigger war) would be handled better in the next four
        years (1966-1970: two years) by the Republicans, by the Democrats, or
        about the same by both?
        [2000: IF 'DK' OR 'NEITHER PARTY' IS VOLUNTEERED, DO NOT PROBE]
        -------------------------------------------------------------------

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0010/VCF0010A/VCF0010B.

        Weight variable VCF0010/VCF0010A/VCF0010B must be used if
        distributions including 1970 data are desired:  see VCF0010.
        Note that use of VCF0010/VCF0010A/VCF0010B as a weight reduces the
        1970 total N for this variable:  form 2 whites who should appear as
        code 0 INAP cases are excluded from the 1970 total N.

        In 1996, the order of parties read in the question text was
        randomized.

               1.  Better by Democrats
               2.  Same by both
               3.  Better by Republicans
               9.  DK; depends (1972); neither (2000)

               0.  NA; INAP, form II (1972); no pre IW (1960);  question not
                     administered in assigned half-sample [see VCF012a]
                     (1996); question  not used
