        (1968,1970:  There is much talk about "hawks" and "doves" in
        connection with Vietnam, and considerable disagreement as to what
        action the United States should take in Vietnam.) (1972: With
        regard to Vietnam,)   Some people think we should do everything
        necessary to win a complete military victory, no matter what results.
        Some people think we should withdraw completely from Vietnam right
        now, no matter what results.  And, of course, other people have
        opinions somewhere between these two extreme positions.  Suppose the
        people who support an immediate withdrawal are at one end of this
        scale (show card to R) at point number 1.  And suppose the people
        who support a complete military victory are at the other end of
        the scale at point number 7. At what point on the scale would you
        place yourself on this scale (1972 only: or haven't you though much
        about this)? [RESPONDENT BOOKLET]
