        Recently there has been a lot of talk about women's rights.  Some
        people feel that women should have an equal role with men in running
        business, industry and government.  Others feel that women's place is
        in the home.

        Where would you place <president> on this scale?  (7-POINT SCALE SHOWN
        TO R)

        WOMEN'S EQUAL ROLE-- PRESIDENT'S RATING ON 7-POINT SCALE

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.

        The presidents referred to in each year were:
           1972: RICHARD NIXON

        NO SELF-PLACEMENT INAPS:
        In all years before 1996, if R replied DK or "haven't thought much
        about it" in rating self on this same 7-point scale, then R was not
        asked this question.

        In 1996, since the incumbent President was also the Democratic
        Presidential candidate, the order of administration for this var was
        affected by the fact that randomization occurred for the order of the
        3 major Presidential candidate names for this placement.
