Codebook weight: VCF0011x/VCF0011y/VCF0011z (differs from VCF0009z only in 1970). 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 (dk). 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. 1966 NOTE: code categories were: ‘should be allowed’ (recoded to 2 HERE), ‘should be allowed, qualified’ (recoded to 2), ‘should not be allowed’ (recoded to 1) and ‘should not be allowed, qualified’ (recoded to 1).
