CLEVELAND, Dec. 24, 1997 -- TRW Inc. (NYSE: TRW) announced today that it has
cleared with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) its proposed transaction to
acquire BDM International (Nasdaq:BDMI). The FTC granted early termination
of the statutory waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act on December 23, 
1997. TRW has entered into a consent order with the FTC requiring TRW to divest

As announced on November 21, TRW is offering $29.50 per share to acquire BDM in
a transaction valued at nearly $1 billion. The tender offer is conditioned on
the valid tender of shares representing a majority of the voting power of BDM
and other customary closing conditions. The offer is currently scheduled to
expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on December 24, 1997. 

TRW provides advanced technology products and services for the automotive and
