GENERAL NOTE:
This count is available for 1952, 1956, 1960, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976,
1978, 1980, 1982, 1984 and 1992. It is constructed VCF0724-VCF0727 by 
summing the number of "yes" responses, plus 1.
All variables must be asked in a given year for this count to be
calculated:  however, if all vars are asked but all are coded DK/NA (0
in VCF0724-VCF0727), then VCF0728 is coded 0.  If at least 1 var is
coded with valid data during a year when all 4 questions are used by
NES, then this value is computed.
