The possibility is considered that the energetic electrons producing a type III burst may excite electromagnetic instabilities which subsequently lead to scattering of the electrons and the generation of a type V burst. The nonrelativistic dispersion relation is solved for circularly polarized electromagnetic waves propagating parallel to the magnetic field in a system consisting of a thermal plasma and a uniform electron beam. It is shown that for certain beam and plasma parameters, an instability with respect to lefthand polarized waves occurs which is driven to a large extent by a 'resonant electron' instability that could result in scattering of resonant beam electrons without the need for preexisting plasma turbulence. Observations are discussed which indicate that type V bursts are preferably produced under conditions that are in qualitative agreement with those for which the present calculations yield an instability.
