It is known that every complete Boolean algebra of projections on a Banach space X is strongly closed and bounded and that, although the converse of this result fails in general, it is valid if X is weakly sequentially complete [1, XVII. 3, pp. 2194–2201]. In the present note it is shown that this converse is in fact valid precisely when X contains no subspace isomorphics to the sequence space c0. More explicitly, the following two results are proved. In both, X may be a real or complex space, but c0 will consist of the null sequences in the underlying scalar field.
