Abstract
A new first-order action for type IIB Dirichlet 3-brane is proposed. I ts form is inspired by the superfield equations of motion obtained rec ently from the generalized action principle. The action involves auxil iary symmetric spin tensor fields. It seems promising for a reformulat ion of the generalized action in a structure most adequate for investi gating the extrinsic geometry of the super-3-brane, but also for furth er studies of string dualities.
