The γ velocities for 61 galactic classical Cepheids have been determined from recent homogeneous radial-velocity measurements combined with older published velocities. The results confirm those of Caldwell and Coulson (1987), who used a largely different data set and an independent analysis. This makes it unlikely that the net blueshift of 3±1 km s-1 found by Caldwell and Coulson for galactic Cepheids is a result of approximations used in determining the γ velocities. The Cepheids Y Sct and Z Lac are found to be binary star candidates.
