We have measured the elastic scattering cross section for $pp$, $$p\bar{p}, \pi^+ p, \pi^- p, K^+ p,$$ and $K^- p$ at 70, 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200 GeV/c incident momenta. The range of the four momentum transfer squared, t, was a function of momentum and varied from 0.0016 $$\le$$ -t $$\le$$ 0.490 $(GeV/c)^2$ at 200 GeV/c to 0.0018 $$\le$$ -t $$\le$$ 0.0625 $(GeV/c)^2$ at 70 GeV/c. We have determined the ratio of the real to imaginary part of the nuclear amplitude and the nuclear slope in the same region. We have found that the nuclear slope is not a constant in this region. A suitable parametrization was found and the real parts are presented in terms of this parametrization.
