This is achieved by constructing a contact current whose four-divergence cancels the gauge-invariance-violating contributions resulting from all states above the base state on the Regge trajectory. To illustrate the procedure, modifications necessary for the process $\\gamma +p \\to K^+ + \\Sigma^{*0}$ are discussed in some detail.
