NOTE:     All siblings who were interviewed in 1977 and all siblings
of graduates who completed the telephone interview in 1992/93 were 
scheduled to be interviewed by telephone in 1993-1994.  Addtionally, siblings
who completed the 1993/94 telephone interview were to be sent a mail 
questionnaire.  Due to budget constraints, it was not possible to complete 
all these interviews.  Telephone interviews were attempted for: 
  1. All those siblings who were interviewed in 1977, xstat77=1; 
  2. All other siblings from groups 2-9 (group91 = 2-9), if the graduate 
     completed a telephone interview in 1992/93 (stat92p=1).  
Mail questionnaires were sent to the remaining 970 siblings from groups 
0 and 1 (if the respondent completed the telephone interview).  These
mail questionnaires contained two additional pages ascertaining information 
about marriage, current job, children, birthdate, education and spouse's job.  
561 of these siblings returned the mail questionnaire, xstat93m=2. 

26 graduates who were interviewed in 1992/93 are also siblings of other 
graduates.  These respondents were not interviewed as a part of the sibling 
survey.  However, their data from the original sample survey conducted 
in 1992/93 was added to this data set.  These 26 respondents have code "5" 
for xstat93m. Their idpriv as a graduate is in sa026re. 

This module contains data for the 4778 respondents to the 1993/94 telephone
survey; data for the 561 respondents from groups 0 and 1 who received
the mail only survey; and data for the 26 graduates who are also siblings of 
graduates.
