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.  This ID variable can not be used to match
        different files across years; instead, refer to the discussion in
        Appendix S.  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.

        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.

                        In 1978, the child values (78K) are different from the
                        adult.
                        In 1979 forward, children may have values 4-6.

               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 10-12 serial number - unique to a household
               In 68-73 and 76 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)
                        columns 1-5   random  Random cluster code
                        columns 6     segnum  Segment number - rotation number

                        columns 12    subhh   Subdivided household number
               In 1995 forward three more columns were added to denote county
               within state.

               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.)

                        characteristics are usually consistent with those

                        or BLS's duplication of Phase II population controls

                        which were used in the basic CPS weighting. Users
                        interested in family data or replicating BLS's family
                        data should use the characterostocs produced by the
                        new demographic edit.

               Note to those interested in matching: This variable is 
               transcribed by the interviewer from rotation to rotation. 
               So this should be a unique identifier for an individual
               within the household.  
               This is an unedited variable in 1994 forward.  Additional
               valid entries are: -1 (blank) -2 (don't know) -3 (refused)

                           In both 1979 and 1980 the final weight variable
                        is written over in this location (121) by the October
                        supplement weight (wgt).  However, the documentation
                        in some years indicates that the supplement weight is
                        equal to the final weight so Unicon has assigned the
                        value to both wgtfnl and wgt.  It is up to the user
                        to determine whether to use it as the wgtfnl.
                           1981 is a transitional year; there are 2 final weight
                        variables in 1981.  The one in this position (121) is
                        1970 based, and the other one (wgtfnl80), column 589,
                        is 1980 based.  In subsequent years, the final weight
                        variable is 1980 based.
                           In 87-88, the Armed Forces record indicatates this
                        field as being 'all fill'.  Used for most tabulations,
