        -------------------------------------------------------------------

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.

        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.

        Order of items (see also VCF9046-9050) varied from year to year.  In
        some yeras, the federal budget allocation series was administered with
        a break mid-sequence.
