## Abstract

Suppose a1, a2,... is a sequence of real numbers with an → ∞. If $\lim \sup(X_1 + \cdots + X_n)/a_n = \alpha$ a.s. for every sequence of independent nonnegative uniformly bounded random variables X1, X2,... satisfying some hypothesis condition A, then for every (arbitrarily-dependent) sequence of nonnegative uniformly bounded random variables $Y_1, Y_2,\ldots, \lim \sup(Y_1 + \cdots + Y_n)/a_n = \alpha$ a.s. on the set where the conditional distributions (given the past) satisfy precisely the same condition A. If, in addition, $\Sigma^\infty a^{-2}_n < \infty$, then the assumption of nonnegativity may be dropped.
