	Hi Dave Tobak, Henry Frisch and Bob Blair,
	

	The ee-gammagamma-met paper is well organized!

** Thank you
	
	I have a few minor questions/comments.
	
	1) Page 5 last paragraph
	 for the presence of anomalous missing Et
	 (The word anomalous is not so clear in this context,
	 I suspect that you are just using the cut 
	 missing Et > 35 GeV.
	 
** We use  the word  Anomalous to  mean  non-Standard  model i.e,  significantly
   different from expectations. For the  met, we look for events with met>35 GeV
   if both  photons are above 12  GeV, but 25  GeV if both  photons are above 25
   GeV.

	 2) page 6 last paragraph
	 
	 I think it would be better if the paper followed the order in Table I
	 (Talk about the 3 central leptons and the tau, before the events with
	 b-tags).

** The table has been fixed to reflect the paper.
	 
	 3) Is table I saying that we have 9 events with an expected background
	    of 3.7 +/- 0.8?
	 
** I'm afraid  not. There  is overlap  between the  channels. The  eeggmet event
   appears in  both the  central  lepton and  met  categories.  However, you are
   correct in  pointing out that almost  all of the numbers  have fluctuated up.
   However,   almost all  the  numbers  from the  25 GeV   threshold sample have
   fluctuated down (see CDF Note 4183)

	 4) I would have liked a LEGO plot for the ee-gammagamma-met event,
	    but I suspect that there is nor room for both table II and the plot.

** We would have liked the plot also. You are correct, there simply isn't room.
	    
	 5) p8 end of second paragraph
	     3* 10**12
	     n = sigma * L = 51 mb * 85 pb(-1) = 4.3 * 10**12 

** You are  correct. There  were roughly  4E12  collisions.  However, there were
   multiple  collisions  per bunch  crossing.  Since we look  at bunch crossings
   (what we usually call events) for multiple collisions, we count the number of
   bunch crossings to be consistent (and conservative). This is discussed in CDF
   Note 3892.

	     
	  6) p9 end of ffirst full paragraph  CL -->C.L.

** You are correct. This has been fixed in the text.
	  
	  7) p9 second paragraph 
	     Could you explain C(1)?

** The  C1 is  the  lightest   chargino in  the  models  in the  references. The
   charginos are the Supersymmetric partners of the W and the charged Higgs.
	  
	  8) p9 end of second full paragraph
	     sentence starting Note....
	     you have a (  but no right ).      			

** I assume you mean the missing parenthesis.  That is fixed in the text.
	  
	  9) The end of the standard acknowledgement paragraph is missing.

** You are correct. That is fixed in the text.
	  
	     Best Regards
	     Andy Beretvas
