It is shown that the production of Langmuir waves from ion sound by the turbulent Bremsstrahlung mechanism can be more effective than the destruction of the Langmuir waves by the Dawson-Oberman resistivity. Previous conclusions to the contrary are in error owing to the neglect of the wave-number dependence of the ion-sound waves.
