                         1990 NES Time Series Study
                          NES DATASET NUMBER 1990.TV


                           Number of Cases: 1980
                          Number of Variables: 803


DATA NOTE:
      The original release of 1990 data included 2,000 cases,
      and the ICPSR 1990 printed codebook is produced with
      marginals for 2,000 cases.  However, as a result of a 
      review of cases, it was decided that there was a high 
      probability that 20 interviews were either faked or
      conducted with ineligible respondents.  These 20 cases
      were deleted from the raw data, so that there are
      now 1,980 cases for the 1990 NES.
