The formulation of quantum field theory for massless tensor fields is extended to fermion fields with zero mass. The fermion field, which in the Rarita-Schwinger formalism is represented by a tensor spinor, is expressed in terms of simple Dirac spinors. These Dirac spinors are free components of the field, and the usual anticommutation relations are imposed on them. The corresponding anticommutation relations of the field components are given. They are compatible wth the supplementary conditions. (auth)
