The work of Chiu, Hossain, and Tow is generalized by incorporating the no double counting condition and the t/sub min/ effect in the integral equations for the Reggeon and the Pomeron. The relation between the no double counting condition and the average cluster separation is derived, and a test is proposed to determine the correct counting. It is shown that the t/sub min/ effect is quite important in determining the Regge parameters. The model predicts a relation between five physical quantities: the Pomeron intercept (..cap alpha../sub p//sup 0/) and slope (..cap alpha../sub p/'), the magnitude (k) and the exponential dependence (b) of the triple-Regge vertex, and the ratio of Pomeron to Reggeon residues (c) at t = 0. The solutions obtained are well within the range of acceptable values. A reasonable solution is, for example, ..cap alpha../sub p//sup 0/ = .92, ..cap alpha../sub p/' = .2, b = 1.6, k = 12.9, and c = 0.91. It is found that cuts are present in both the Reggeon and the Pomeron amplitudes, and their contributions are small compared to the leading poles. 27 references.
