  It is demonstrated that the elastic diffractive scattering of nucleons at
collision energies higher than 540 GeV and transferred momenta lower than 2
GeV, including the Coulomb-nuclear interference region, can be described in the
framework of a very simple Regge-eikonal model where the eikonal is just a sum
of two supercritical Regge pole terms. The predictive value of the proposed
approximation is verified.
