In this reply we explain that the Comment of Fedorov, Cobis, and Jensen is
misleading. First of all, there are different renormalization procedures of
two-body alpha-n potentials involved in the ground state and continuum cal
culations of ours and the authors of the Comment. Secondly, the authors of
the Comment erroneously advocate the use of effective interactions fitted f
or a truncated basis in calculations with extended bases. [S0556-2813(99)05
