for three adult iqembers of each
household to indicate their
choices to each question.

66 ana over age group.
"Last year," the Congress
man said, "1 polled high school
seniors, all of whom were 17

it will be both interesting and
informative to see how much
age, In addition to geography,
influences opinion on basic po
litical issues."
The Third District lawmaker
said his 1973 Questionnaire is
similar to his poll of last year,
structuring basic questions al
ong the line of spending prior
