  Dependence on the graviton gauge enters the conventional effective field
equations because they fail to account for quantum gravitational correlations
with the source which excites the effective field and with the observer who
measures it. Including these correlations has been shown to eliminate gauge
dependence in flat space background. We generalize the technique to de Sitter
background for the case of the 1-loop graviton corrections to the exchange
potential of a massless, minimally coupled scalar.
