1962: How about this statement, ‘The government in Washington should see to it that white and colored children are allowed to go to the same schools.’ Do you have an opinion on this or not? (IF YES:) Do you agree that the government should do this or do you think that the government should not do it? 1964-1986,1990 AND LATER: Some people say that the government in Washington should see to it that white and black (1962-1966: colored; 1968,1970: Negro) children go (1964- 1970: are allowed to go) to the same schools.

Government role in school integration · Asked in 13 waves, 1962–2000 · 21,700 responses · weighted estimates computed from individual responses
Codebook weight: VCF0011x/VCF0011y/VCF0011z (differs from VCF0009z only in 1970). Codes that include 'no Pre/Post IW' were dropped for respondents without that interview. Dropped only in years where the codebook names a design split (alternate form, half sample, abbreviated or web instrument): 0 in 1986, 1990. NA code treated as not asked where it exceeds 10% of a year's answers (an unlabeled split or filter): 0 in 1970. Kept and flagged: 0 (no_answer), 9 (other_missing). Codebook notes: GENERAL NOTE: Weight variable VCF0011/VCF0011A must be used if distributions including 1970 data are desired: see VCF0011. Note that use of VCF0011/VCF0011A as a weight reduces the 1970 total N for this variable: form 1 whites who should appear as code 0 INAP cases are excluded from the 1970 total N. 1962 NOTE: Additional code categories were present besides those appearing here. 1962 categories ‘yes, qualified,’ ‘yes, but there should be no force. Moderate. Gradual,’ and ‘no, qualified’ were recoded to 9 here. 1976 NOTE: ‘Anti-busing statement qualified with statement that R is not against integration or opportunity’ has been included in code 9.
