An extension of a recent Podé suboptimal model reduction method is presented which ensures that the initial time response values of the reduced models coincide with those for the full system for impulse or step inputs. This desirable property is seen to involve little extra computation and can be implemented on existing computer algebra packages. An example is given to illustrate its use.
