We construct explicitly the irreducible mass-zero representations of the conformal supersymmetry U(2,2/1) inthe discrete basis and show that there is only one positive-energy representation and one negative-energy representation. Each contains all helicities lambda = 0, +- 1/2, +- 1,..., and can be generated by spinorial operators which obey Bose statistics.
