  I argue that the validity of the new electrodynamic equations for
superconductors proposed in my paper can and should be decided by experiment.
Furthermore I show that BCS theory is ambiguous in its prediction of screening
of longitudinal electric fields and hence cannot be used to decide between the
validity of my theory versus the conventional theory. I also give a physical
argument for why screening of electric fields by superconducting electrons
should be expected to be less efficient than that by normal electrons, as
predicted by the new equations.
