©1962 The American Physical Society. Received 10 July 1962. I wish to thank Professor M. Gell-Mann for explaining many points in connection with Regge poles, and Dr. B.C. Unal for numerous discussions. During the time this work was done, the author was supported by a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship.

The impulse approximation is discussed and simple applications are made to two problems of current interest, the determination of the ωNN coupling constant and the Regge pole predictions for high-energy scattering.
