We calculate the [ital N][pi] decay amplitudes of baryon resonances in a semirelativistic version of the [sup 3][ital P][sub 0] model of hadron decays. We use relativized wave functions for the baryons and mesons, and include an intuitive modification of the usual [sup 3][ital P][sub 0] model. Our results are in reasonable agreement with the reported amplitudes for [ital all] known nonstrange resonances, and confirm a proposed solution to the mystery of the missing'' states.
