  for telephone interviews in two waves.  The sample (1988 Pre- and Post-
  election respondents with telephones) was stratified on level of political
  information. The sampling fraction for each stratum was proportional to 
  predicted response rate. Wave I (July 6 to August 1) encompassed 614 
  interviews, and  Wave II (September 6 to October 6) obtained 494
  reinterviews.  Each wave  used four questionnaires, Forms A through D.
