We propose a systematic study of elastic and quasi-elastic scatterings of pp and {bar p}p in the forward region (|t{vert_bar} {approx}< 1.5 GeV{sup 2}) from {approx} 20 to 40 GeV/c by using the single-arm spectrometer of NAL Exp. 7 without any essential change. The physics interests in this energy region warrant a precise comparison between pp and {bar p}p as a function of s(t) for fixed t(s). Therefore it is essential to use the same experimental apparatus and analysis procedures in order to minimize possible systematic errors. The possible future experiments at Serpukhov will not be able to produce sufficient flux in the secondary {bar p} beams to answer the physics questions raised in this proposal.
