The need of absorption in simple multiperipheral-like models is further reviewed and motivated and a general formalism for multiparticle production with absorption is presented. With this formalism, the well known unltarity relation is reproduced and new expressions are derived for inclusive momentum distributions. It is demonstrated that the parameter-free predictions based on an earlier solution to the elastic data reproduce the gross feature of the inclusive p/sub T/-data of high energy pp collisions.
