For large flares observed by the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) satellite from 1980-1982, we find a reasonably good correlation between 4-8 MeV gamma-ray-line (GRL) fluences and >~50 keV hard X-ray fluences. We find no compelling evidence for a distinct population of large hard X-ray flares that lack commensurate GRL emission. Our results are consistent with the acceleration of the bulk of the ~100 keV electrons and ~10 MeV protons (i.e., the populations of these species that interact in the solar atmosphere to produce hard X-ray and GRL emissions) of a common process in large flares of both long and short durations.
