Abstract: Glicksohn and Salter both raise good questions that force us to clarify our position. We agree with much of their commentary, with a few caveats. Glicksohn wrongly assumes that later drafts must be ''more advanced'' and Salter speaks of ''recruitment into consciousness,'' which invites (but does not require) a Cartesian interpretation. Their suggestions about the time course of ''editorial'' revision of the multiple drafts and the possibility of restoration of the information in abandoned drafts are possible extensions of the Multiple Drafts Model.
