It is suggested that a unifying description of leptons and hadrons can be obtained within a nonabelian gauge theory where the gauge group is a symmetry group of a set of massless elementary fermions (leptons, quarks). We investigate the consequences of such an approach for the strong, electromagnetic, and weak interactions. We study both gauge theories with and without fermion number conservation, e.g.,theories based on the groups SU/sub n/ x SU/sub n/(n = 8, 12, 16) and SO/sub n/(n = 10, 14). (AIP)
