The preceding Comment by Goodfriend (Phys. Rev. A 41, 1730 (1990)) contains three criticisms of our model for analytical quantum-defect wave functions {ital vis}-{ital a}-{ital vis} the atomic Fues potential of Simons (J. Phys. Chem. 55, 756 (1971)). We rebut the first two criticisms explicitly. This makes the third criticism moot. We stand by our results.
