        1962:  How about this statement, "The government in Washington should
        see to it that white and colored children are allowed  to go to the
        same schools."  Do you have an opinion on this or not?  (IF YES:) Do
        you agree that the government should do this or do you think that the
        government should not do it?

        1964-1986,1990 and later:  Some people say that the government in
        Washington should see to it that white and black (1962-1966: colored;
        1968,1970: Negro) children go (1964-1970: are allowed to go) to the
        same schools.  Others claim this is not the government's business.
        Have you been concerned (1986,1990 and later: interested) enough

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0011/VCF0011A/VCF0011B.

        Weight variable VCF0011/VCF0011A/VCF0011B must be used if
        distributions including 1970 data are desired:  see VCF0011.
        Note that use of VCF0011/VCF0011A/VCF0011B 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 1962, additional code categories were present besides those
        appearing here.  1962 categories "yes, qualified," "yes, but there
        should be no force. Moderate. Gradual," and "no, qualified" were all
        recoded to 9.

        A code which appeared only in 1976 as "anti-busing statement qualified
        with statement that R is not against integration or opportunity" has
        been included in code 9.

               1.  Yes, R has an opinion:  see to it that white and black
                     children go (1962-1970:  are allowed to go) to the same
                     schools
               2.  Yes, R has an opinion:  stay out of this area (except 1962:
                     as it is none of government's business)
