Now I have a few questions about your personal motivations that 
	may involve both charitable giving of money and volunteering time, in 
	general, not just last year. For the following items, please tell me if it 
	is a major motivation, minor motivation, or no motivation at all for your 
	volunteering or giving. 
	Feeling that those who have more should help those who have less

	Do you have the opportunity to give through payroll deductions at 
	your place of work? (If yes, do you personally give through payroll 
	deduction?)

	For your 1996 federal tax return that is normally due by April 15, 
	1997, did you itemize deductions, that is, the 1040 Long Form on Schedule 
	A? (If yes, did you claim a deduction for charitable donations, or not?)

	Have you and the members of your family or household been asked to 
	give money or other property to charitable organizations, including 
	religious organizations, in the past year?

	About how much money did you give to all charities in the past 
	year?

	On a related topic, there are many different areas in which people 
	do volunteer activity. By volunteering time, I mean not just belonging to 
	a service organization, but actually working in some way to help others 
	for no monetary pay. Have you done some volunteer work in the past 12 
	months? (If yes, was that for only one organization, or more than one?)

	Turning to business conditions in the country as a whole, do you 	
	think that during the next 12 months we will have good times financially
	or bad times?

	Looking ahead, in the country as a whole will we have continued 
	good times during the next 5 years or will we have periods of widespread 
	unemployment or depression?

	About the big things that people buy for their homes, such as 
	furniture, a refrigerator, a stove, television and things like that-- 
	generally speaking, do you think now is a good or a bad time for people to 
	buy major household items?

Would you consider yourself to be politically:

	Generally speaking, how much interest would you say you have in 
	politics?

	Some people seem to follow what痴 going on in government and 
	public affairs most of the time, whether there痴 an election or not. 
	Others aren't that interested. Would you say you follow what痴 going on in 
	government and public affairs ...

How often would you say you vote?
