Political Knowledge in the GSS Survey

Greetings,

Anyone familiar with the General Social Survey (GSS)?  Do you know if
there is a measure of political knowledge in the survey?

In the ANES, respondents are asked to identify government officials as
a test of their political knowledge but I've been through the GSS
codebook twice and couldn't find anything like that.  I see that they
do a general knowledge measure using some word definition and anlogy
questions but I am interested in politicial knowledge specifically.

It appears that in 1987 they asked respondents to identify their
governor, Congressional representative and school board members but it
looks like that was the only year it was attempted in the GSS.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
-Nathan
