Abstract
Recently Berkovits and Vafa have shown that the bosonic string can be viewed as the fermionic string propagating in a particular background. Such a background is described by a somewhat unusual superconformal system. By coupling it to supergravity I construct a local supersymmetric action for the bosonic string.
