deregistering all such securities which remain unsold, all documents
subsequently filed by TRW or the Plan pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Exchange Act shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in
this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of
such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The legality of the purchase of shares of TRW Common Stock, par value
$0.625 per share, under the Plan have been passed upon by James C. Diggs, Esq.,
1900 Richmond Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44124. Mr. Diggs, Assistant General Counsel

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Ohio Revised Code and TRW's Regulations provide for
indemnification of TRW's Directors and officers in a variety of circumstances,
which may include liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. TRW maintains
insurance indemnifying Directors and officers in certain cases and with certain
deductible limits. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to Directors and officers, TRW has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 8. Exhibits.
The "Exhibit Index" on page 6 is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
A. UNDERTAKING PURSUANT TO RULE 415.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
Registration Statement or any material change to such information
in the Registration Statement;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
B. UNDERTAKING REGARDING DOCUMENTS SUBSEQUENTLY FILED UNDER THE EXCHANGE
ACT.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities

<PAGE>
C. UNDERTAKING REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: THE TRW CANADA STOCK SAVINGS PLAN
Gentlemen:
As Assistant General Counsel of TRW Inc. ("TRW"), I am delivering this opinion
in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement") to effect the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, of shares of common stock of TRW ("Shares") to be offered under The TRW
Canada Stock Savings Plan ("Plan"). In that capacity, I am familiar with the
proceedings, corporate and other, relating to the authorization and issuance of
the Shares.
Based on the foregoing and such other examination of law and fact as I have
deemed necessary, I am of the opinion that, when acquired by the participants
pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Shares will be legally issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to me in the Registration Statement and in the
Plan documents prepared pursuant to the requirements of Part I of Form S-8.
Sincerely,
/s/James C. Diggs
James C. Diggs
Assistant General Counsel
