Fenimore et al. (1995) have recently presented a very tight correlation between the spectral and the temporal structure in Gamma Ray Bursts (hereafter GRBs). In this note we present two simple models which can account in a straightforward fashion for the observed correlation. These models involve: (a) The impulsive injection of a population of relativistic electrons and their subsequent cooling by synchrotron radiation. (b) The impulsive injection of monoenergetic high energy photons in a medium of Thompson depth τT~5 and their subsequent downgrading in energy due to electron scattering. We present arguments for distinguishing between these two models from the existing data.
