We have been able to convert the SAS files for 1981 district data from Vannemann into csv files using R. I have posted them here. But cannot make out the format, because it seems quite complicated. You may have to refer to the codebook on the website. Also there may be errors in data conversion--let me know if you think there are. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q2hNAOJsKjhsaUL1G_r-1rKllU-uR7HX/view?usp=sharing
