Let p be a prime, and let S be a Sylow p-subgroup of a finite group G. J. Thompson (13; 14) has introduced a characteristic subgroup JR(S) and has proved the following results:

(1.1) Suppose that p is odd. Then G has a normal p-complement if and only if C(Z(S)) and N(JR(S)) have normal p-complements.
