        INTRO:
        Some people feel that if black people (1964,1968: negroes) are not
        getting fair treatment in jobs, the government in Washington ought
        to see to it that they do.  Others feel that this is not the federal
        government's business.
        FILTER QUESTION:
        Have you had enough interested in this question to favor one side over
        the other?

        1964,1968,1972:
        (IF YES) How do you feel? Should the government in Washington see to
        it that black people get fair treatment in jobs or should the
        government in Washington leave these matters to the states and local
        communities?

        1986 AND LATER:
        (IF YES) How do you feel? Should the government in Washington see to
        it that black people get fair treatment in jobs or is this not the
        federal government's business?
