Abstract
Let be a positive integer and let be a sequence of integers in the interval . If there is an such that any nonempty subsequence with sum has length then has at most two distinct values. This proves a conjecture of R. L. Graham. A previous result of P. Erd\H{o}s and E. Szemer\'edi shows the validity of this conjecture if is a large prime number.
