  This is a reply to J. T. Gammel's Comment (9404047) on Tuning of the CDW in
MX Chains. We show that while the harmonic elastic energy can fit a small
region around zero dimerization, it is insufficient to treat the large
amplitude CDW of the MX systems which was the main physics of our Letter (Phys.
Rev. Lett. {\bf 71}, 1415 (1993)). We also stress that \underline{anharmonic}
elastic potentials are {\it essential} to explain the charge-density-wave
systematics of an entire class of MX material.
