\begin{abstract}

In propositional logic, several problems, such as satisfiability, MAX SAT and
  logical inference, can be formulated as integer programs. In this paper, we
  consider sets of clauses for which the corresponding integer programs can be
  solved as linear programs. We prove that balanced sets of clauses have this
  property.
