Description of selected variables:
<recnum>       Unique record ID number - Unicon created

        Each observation is assigned a unique id number, facilitating later
        merges with the same file should the user wish to extract additional
        variables at a later time.  The maximum value of this variable is the
        total record count from each file.  There is no corresponding variable
        to be found in the census files; therefore, no column numbers are
        listed here.

        Note:  Universe - all adult records, including Armed Forces 
                          (2<=popstat<=3)
                        The questionnaires in 1984-1988 say 'Married, spouse
                        absent excluding separated' yet the variable code
                        during these years includes separated in value 3.

        CAUTION: PEMARITL is the original edited variable in 1994 forward.  It 
        has 6 categories and we have called it marsta2.  PRMARSTA is the 
        recoded variable in these years.  Since it has 7 categories, it is a
        better match with the earlier years.  We have labeled it marstat.

        In Jan 1996, the Census revised procedures for editing and 
        allocating the race variable.  All "Other" responses were
        allocated into one of the 4 main race categories.  This was 
        done to offset a major increase in "Other" responses which 
        caused severe underestimates of the American Indian and Asian
        Pacific Islander populations.  Due to this, one should use
        caution when making comparisons between 1995 and 1996 data,
        especially for those identifying all four race groups.

        Code:  numeric with length of 12 or 15

        Note:  Universe - all households 
               Per Census:  This variable is unique for each household.  It will
               be recycled after the 8 month rotations.  It can be broken down
               as follows: 
                        columns 1-2   regional office number
                        columns 3-5   PSU - a geographical division
                        columns 6-9   segment - a smaller geographical division
                        columns 10-12 serial number - unique to a household

               In 1971, the following variables are used:
                        columns 1-3   Scrambled PSU number
                        columns 4-7   sernum  Serial number
                        columns 8-12  padding 
               In 1973-1974, the following variables combine to form a 
               unique identifier for each housing unit (note the combined
               length of the variables is 12 characters, same as hhid variable)
               In 1975, the sernum and subhh variables are not in the 
               10th-12th columns.  They are located elsewhere on the record.  
               Therefor, hhid is not available in 1975 (unless made by user).
               In 1977 forward, the same 12 columns are documented as 'Household
               ID number' with no mention of the subparts.  In 1976 the 12
               columns are listed by the subparts, not as a whole.
                        columns 1-5   random  Random cluster code
                        columns 6     segnum  Segment number - rotation number
                        columns 7-9   segnum  Segment number - remainder
                        columns 10-11 sernum  Serial number
                        columns 12    subhh   Subdivided household number

               In 1996 forward, three more columns were added to denote county
               within state.

               The inital household receives a value of 1, and subsequent
               replacement households increase the value by 1.
               (per Census:  This variable notes which household is living at
               this address (house, apartment, etc.). For example if in MIS 1
               one family [household] lived here and then in MIS 2 another 
               family moved in, this would be household 2 at this address.  
               As the address is only questioned for 8 months in a row the 
               maximum value is 8.)

        1971            There are households with duplicate PSU and serial

                        This id combined with Subdivided Household Number
                        (subhh) form a unique identifier for each sample
