Reply to Comment by Calandra et al on "Electronic Structure of   Superconducting KC$_8$ and Nonsuperconducting LiC$_6$ Graphite Intercalation   Compounds: Evidence for a Graphene-Sheet-Driven Superconducting State"
  In their comment Calandra \textit{et al} \cite{Calandra}, assert two points: (1) the estimate of charge transfer from Li to graphene layers in LiC$_6$ in our letter \cite{Pan2011c} is incorrect because of the three dimensional (3D) character of the electronic structure in bulk LiC$_6$; (2) our main claim that the superconductivity in graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) is graphene-sheet-driven is therefore invalid.
