      Re:  Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
           File No. 333-233379


     CEL-SCI  Corporation  (the  "Company")  requests  that the  request for the
withdrawal of the above-captioned Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to registration
statement  333-233379  be  withdrawn.  The reason  for this  request is that the
previously filed request for withdrawal needed to be signed by the Company.

     No securities were sold by means of the  Post-Effective  Amendment No. 1 to
the registration statement.

                                        Very Truly Yours,

                                        CEL-SCI CORPORATION
