Ladies and Gentlemen:

Further to my conversation yesterday with Tara Harkins, Staff Accountant at the Securities and Exchange Commission, I am writing to you on behalf of Teradyne, Inc. (the “Company”), to respond to your letter dated November 30, 2009 to the Company. The letter sets forth the comments of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) and requests a response to the comments within 10 business days, or else a notification of when such a response will be provided.
