      Re:   CEL-SCI Corporation
            Registration Statement on Form S-3
            Commission File No. 333-72415

Dear Mr. Reidler:

      This office represents CEL-SCI Corporation (the "Company"). On behalf of
the Company, we request that the above-captioned registration statement be
withdrawn. The reason for this request is that all shares issuable upon the
exercise of options and warrants and which were the subject of the registration
statement:

o    have expired, or
o    have exercise prices which are significantly higher than the present market
     price of the Company's common stock.

      No securities were sold by means of the registration statement.

                                    Very Truly Yours,

                                    HART & TRINEN, L.L.P.


                                    By
                                        William T. Hart
