        How about white people in this area?  How many would you say are in
        favor of strict segregation of the races - all of them, most of them,
        about half, less than half of them, or none of them?
        -------------------------------------------------------------------

        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 all years, this question followed the question corresponding to
        Cumulative Data File variable VCF0821.

        In 1964, 219 cases in code 0 include numerous individuals who were
        erroneously not asked this question.

        In 1964, this question was preceded by 7 questions about the racial
        composition of R's neighborhood, nearest grade school, nearest junior
        high school, nearest high school, co-workers, friends and of the
        people where R shops and trades.  If the responses to these 7
        questions did not reveal the presence of any white people, then this
        question was not asked, and VCF0820 has been coded 0.

        In all years, use of this question was not predicated upon responses
        to other questions, but an inap code "no whites in area" was present
        and is represented in code 0.

               1.  None of them
               2.  Less than half
               3.  About half
               4.  Most of them
               5.  All of them

               9.  DK
               0.  NA; INAP, no whites in R's area; Rs erroneously not asked
                   this question (1964); question not used
