        Code 0 includes cases where R answered 'yes' to lead-in (see
        VCF0731) but when asked how many days in past week replied 'never';
        it also includes cases where R answered 'no' to lead-in.

        Respondents with NA response for how often R discusses politics with
        family and friends (VCF0732) were INAP for this question.
        Beginning 1992 respondents with DK response for how often R discusses
        politics with family and friends (VCF0732) were also INAP for this
        question.

        In 1984 only, if R replied 'every day' for how often R discusses
        politics with family and friends (VCF0732) then this question was
        not asked; for such respondents 7 (every day) has been coded here.
