This paper is a reply to the paper of Survey by V. P. Godambe which appeared in the February, 1970, of the American Statistician. The latter paper discussed at length certain aspects of the April, 1968, Symposium on Foundations of Survey Sampling which was organized by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Specifically two of our papers, Hartley and Rao (1967-68) and Hartley and Rao (1969), were criticized by Dr. Godambe and since his discussion is based on considerable misunderstanding, it is necessary for us to reply to his assertions in detail. Since this paper is a rebuttal, we refer the reader to the description by Dr. Godambe of what he considered the central issue of the Symposium. We quote from his section 5:
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Hartley et al. (1971) studied this question.
