Technologies with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and prior to

     Not Applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     The Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate") of the Company
provides that a director of the Company will not be personally liable to
the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except, if required by the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the "DGCL") as amended from time to time, for liability
(i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section
174 of the DGCL, which concerns unlawful payments of dividends, stock
purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.  Neither the amendment nor
repeal of such provision will eliminate or reduce the effect of such
provision in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit
or claim that, but for such provision, would accrue or arise prior to such
amendment or repeal.

     While the Certificate provides directors with protection from awards
for monetary damages for breach of their duty of care, it does not
eliminate such duty.  Accordingly, the Certificate will nave no effect on
the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission
based on a director's breach of his or her duty of care.

     The Certificate provides that each person who was or is made a party
to or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that
such person, or a person of whom such person is the legal representative,
is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis
of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director,
officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a
director, officer, employee or agent, will be indemnified and held harmless
by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment,
only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide
broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to
provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss
reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith. 
Such right to indemnification includes the right to have the Company pay
the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its
final disposition, subject to the provisions of the DGCL.  Such rights are
not exclusive of any other right which any person may have or thereafter
acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate, Bylaws, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.  No repeal or
modification of such provision will in any way diminish or adversely affect
the rights of any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company
thereunder in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such
repeal or modification.  

     The Certificate also specifically authorizes the Company to maintain
insurance and to grant similar indemnification rights to employees or
agents of the Company.  The directors and officers of Lucent Technologies
are covered by insurance policies indemnifying against certain liabilities, 
<PAGE>
<PAGE>4
including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"1933 Act"), which might be incurred by them in such capacities.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

     Not Applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits.

     Exhibits identified in parenthesis below, on file with the SEC, are
incorporated herein by reference as exhibits hereto.

     Exhibit
     Number
       4       Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.  
               (Exhibit 3(i) of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed 
               July 23, 1996.)
       5       Opinion of Pamela F. Craven, Vice President - Law of the
               registrant, as to the legality of the securities to be
               issued.  
      23-A     Consent of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.
      23-B     Consent of Pamela F. Craven is contained in the opinion of
               counsel filed as Exhibit 5.  
      24       Powers of Attorney executed by officers and directors who
               signed this registration statement.  
          
Item 9.  Undertakings.  

     (1)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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 1933 Act;

          (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of this 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 this registration statement;

          (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration
statement or any material change to such information in this
registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs 1(i) and 1(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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this registration statement.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>5
     (2)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the
purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each such 
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.

     (3)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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.

     (4)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.  

     (5)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933
Act 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 SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

Lucent Technologies Inc.
600 Mountain Avenue
Murray Hill, NJ 07974

Dear Sirs;

    With reference to the registration statement on Form S-8 which Lucent
Technologies Inc. (the "Company") proposes to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, registering 50,000,000 common shares (par value $.01 per share) of
the Company (the "Shares") which may be offered and sold by the Company
under the Lucent Technologies Inc. 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Plan"), which Shares, under the terms of the Plan may be authorized and
unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares purchased on the open market or
otherwise, I am of the opinion that:

    1.   the Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and

    2.   all proper corporate proceedings have been taken so that any
Shares to be offered and sold which are of original issuance, upon sale and
payment therefor in accordance with the Plan and the resolutions of the
Board of Directors relating to the offering and sale of common shares
thereunder, will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

    I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC in
connection with the registration statement referred to above.


                                    Very truly yours,



                                    Pamela F. Craven
