1998-05-27 In the previous version of the codebook and SAS and SPSS data definition statements for this collection, the value labels for the variable RCOUNTRY (In what country were you born?) were incorrect for codes 2 and 3. The correct label for code 2 is "Puerto Rico" and the correct label for code 3 is "Mexico". Revised SAS and SPSS data definition statements have been produced and the codebook has been updated.
