The Yang-Mills field is quantized within the canonical formalism in covariant gauges. The interaction Lagrangian of chi and chi', i.e., the unphysical components of A/sub ..mu../, is studied. In this Lagrangian there is only the one term contributing to the S-matrix elements between physical states. It is the source of the breaking of the unitarity of the physical S-matrix. We get the gauge compensating term by solving a simple functional differential equation. If the gauge compensating term is added to the action, the S-matrix in the physical state vector space can be expressed in a form which has no couplings of physical and unphysical particles, and so the physical S-matrix is gauge-independent and unitary.
