Generalizing the 't Hooft and Veltman method of unitary regulators, we demonstrate for
the first time the existence of local, Lorentz-invariant, physically motivated Lagrangians
of quantum-electrodynamic phenomena such that: (i) Feynman diagrams are finite and
equal the diagrams of QED but with regularized propagators. (ii) n-point Green
functions are C-, P- and T-invariant up to a phase factor, Lorentz-invariant and causal.
(iii) No auxiliary particles or parameters are introduced.
