  An analysis of the Coulombic amplitude and its interference with the nuclear
amplitude which is driven by the three-component Pomeron is presented. It is
shown that different approaches towards the Coulomb phase evaluation give
approximately uniform result at all energies and the difference is negligible
at RHIC and LHC energies. We show that the use of the amplitude which was
fitted to accomodate nucleon data only (in the region 0.01 < |t| < 14.5
(GeV^2)) combined with the Coulomb amplitude, reproduces the existing data in
the Coulomb interference domain quite accurately without any adjustement of the
parameters. As a consequence, we predict the differential cross section in the
region of the Coulomb nucleon interference for both RHIC and LHC energies.
