  We investigate the effect of negative-energy states on proton-proton
bremsstrahlung using a manifestly covariant amplitude based on a T-matrix
constructed in a spectator model. We show that there is a large cancellation
among the zeroth-order, single- and double-scattering diagrams involving
negative-energy nucleonic currents. We thus conclude that it is essential to
include all these diagrams when studying effects of negative-energy states.
