The cosmic gamma-ray spectrum below 1 GeV arising from p-p interactions is calculated. Its properties are determined by the properties of the secondary neutral pion production occuring at accelerator energies. First, a detailed discussion of the general properties of gamma-ray spectra arising from neutral pion decay is given. A determination is made of the various features of such spectra that must, in general, hold true. This discussion includes the results of analytic calculations of normalized gamma-ray spectra from ideal neutral pion energy distributions. An "isobar-plus-fireball" model is then chosen for numerical calculations in which the two dominant models of neutral pion production at accelerator energies are production of the N*3/2 (1.237) isobar and one fireball. Each of these modes of production then yields a component to the total gamma-ray spectrum. The components are summed and the results are given in terms of integral and differential gamma-ray spectra. A comparison is made with recent balloon data of gamma rays resulting from atmospheric high-energy interactions, and good agreement is found.
