Let H be a complex Hilbert space and denote by B(H) the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. In [5; 6] J. Ph. Labrousse proved that every operator SB(H) which is spectral in the sense of N. Dunford (see [3]) is similar to a TB(H) with the following property

Conversely, he showed that given an operator SB(H) such that its essential spectrum (in the sense of [5; 6]) consists of at most one point and such that S is similar to a T∈B(H) with the property (1), then S is a spectral operator. This led him to the conjecture that an operator SB(H) is spectral if and only if it is similar to a TB(H) with property (1). The purpose of this note is to prove this conjecture in the case of operators which are decomposable in the sense of C. Foias (see [2]).
