We show that a significant fraction of the energy of a gamma-ray burst(GRB)is probably converted to a burst of 10^{17}-10^{19} eV neutrinos and multipleGeV gammas that follow the GRB by > 10 s . If, as previously suggested, GRB'saccelerate protons to ~10^{20} eV, then both the neutrinos and the gammas maybe detectable.
