Comments on a note by Moser, Steffen, and Kneubühl.

The spectrum we sent to Moser et al., referred to in their note, was not the one from which Figs. 8 and 9 of our paper were taken. The spectrum in question was clearly marked as having different experimental conditions. This spectrum was run under conditions to optimize the splitting of the 59.9 c m 1 doublet, as we have pointed out to Moser. These results will be published later as part of a complete analysis of the far ir water vapor absorption spectrum. Further discussion of this topic appears elsewhere.
