               covered by the statement, or as of the last day of any month
               described in Rule 13d-1(b)(2), if applicable, exceeds five

                          of: 10,328,947(2)




______________________

(1)  Pursuant to the Plan, before each annual or special meeting of the
     shareholders of TRW Inc., each Plan participant with an account balance in
     the TRW Stock Fund (an investment fund within the Plan consisting solely of
     TRW Common) is sent a copy of the proxy solicitation material.  In
     addition, each participant is sent forms for advising the three individual
     co-trustees for the TRW Stock Fund (the "Co-Trustees") how to vote the
     shares of TRW Common held for the participant's account.  Upon receipt of
     instructions from each Plan participant, the Co-Trustees vote the shares as
     instructed.  The Co-Trustees have the right to vote, at their discretion,
     the shares of TRW Common for which no voting instructions are received from
     participants.

(2)  Pursuant to the Plan, participants may make contributions to one or more of
     five investment funds, including the TRW Stock Fund.  Company contributions
     to the Plan are made exclusively to the TRW Stock Fund.  Subject to certain
     restrictions, a participant may elect to withdraw the value of his or her
     account in the Plan, including that portion of his or her account in the
     TRW Stock Fund.  Withdrawals from the TRW Stock Fund are currently paid in
     whole shares.  Twice per month a participant may elect to transfer funds
     from one investment fund under the Plan to another fund.  Such elections
     might have the effect of requiring the Plan to dispose of shares and to use
     the proceeds therefrom to fund such transfer.  In the case of a tender
     offer for TRW Common, the Co-Trustees will tender or not tender the shares
     held for participants' accounts in accordance with directions received from
     participants; provided, however that (i) the Co-Trustees will not tender
     shares for which no valid directions are received from Plan participants;
     and (ii) directors and certain officers of TRW do not have the right to
     direct the Co-Trustees as to whether shares of TRW Common attributable to
     their accounts should be tendered.

ITEM 5.   OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS:

               If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of
the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of
more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following [    ].

ITEM 6.   OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON:

               The Plan is a combined profit-sharing and employee stock
ownership plan within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue
Code.  That part of the Plan comprised of a fund in which Company contributions
are invested in TRW Common is an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP"), while
the remaining funds form a profit-sharing plan.  All shares of TRW Common held
by the Plan are held for the benefit of participants.  Dividends paid in respect
of shares held by the Plan are credited to the account of the participants
except that dividends paid to the Plan on shares of TRW Common held by the ESOP
are either paid at the end of each year in cash to Plan participants or, at the
Company's discretion, used to repay any ESOP Loan (in which case participants'
accounts will be credited with an equivalent amount of TRW Common).

ITEM 7.   IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE SUBSIDIARY WHICH ACQUIRED THE
                   SECURITY BEING REPORTED ON BY THE PARENT HOLDING COMPANY:

                   Not applicable.

ITEM 8.   IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF MEMBERS OF THE GROUP:

                   Not applicable.

ITEM 9.   NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION OF GROUP:

                   Not applicable.

ITEM 10.           CERTIFICATION:

                   By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge
and belief, the securities referred to above were acquired in the ordinary
course of business and were not acquired for the purpose of and do not have the
