Reply to Comment on ``Dispersion Velocity of Galactic Dark Matter Particles'' by Gates et al (astro-ph/9606132)

Gates et al (astro-ph/9606132) have raised several issues in their Comment on our Letter (Phys. Rev. Lett. Vol. 76, p.3886 (1996); astro-ph/9605001). We clarify these issues and show that our results are robust, and there is no inconsistency of our results with any established observational facts.
