                 Placement Computer Science (AP CS) courses and
                 examinations will change from Pascal to C++ beginning
                 with the 1998-1999 academic year. This decision,
                 proposed by the AP Computer Science Development
                 Committee and approved by the College Board, was made
                 in 1994. The 5-year transition period was crucial in
                 defining a C++ subset and providing time for the high
                 school teachers teaching AP CS to attend professional
                 development activities. In [1], the authors appear to
                 misunderstand the reasoning and the forces that helped
                 define the AP C++ subset. This paper attempts to
                 correct those.",
