INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Allen-Bradley Savings and Investment Plan
for Salaried Employees and Participants therein:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Allen-Bradley 
Savings and Investment Plan for Salaried Employees, formerly known as the 
Allen-Bradley Employee Savings Plan for Salaried Employees, as of December 31, 
1996 and 1995 and for the years then ended, listed in the Table of Contents.  
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence 
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit 
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis 
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material 
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 
1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the 
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules listed in 
the Table of Contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and 
are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are 
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and 
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income 
Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental information by fund in the statements 
of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net 
assets available for benefits is presented for the purpose of additional 
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and 
changes in net assets available for benefits of the individual funds.  The 
supplemental schedules and supplemental information by fund are the 
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such supplemental schedules and 
supplemental information by fund have been subjected to the auditing 
procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1996 and 1995 financial 
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects 
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a 
whole.

ALLEN-BRADLEY SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN 
FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
1.	DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following brief description of the Allen-Bradley Savings and 
Investment Plan for Salaried Employees (the "Plan") is provided for 
general information purposes only.  Prior to October 1, 1995, the Plan's 
name was the Allen-Bradley Employee Savings Plan for Salaried Employees. 
Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete 
information.
a.	General - The Plan is a defined contribution savings plan established 
by Allen-Bradley Company, Inc. (the "Company").  The Company is a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of Rockwell International Corporation 
("Rockwell").  The Savings Plan Benefit Committee and the Plan 
Administrator control and manage the operation and administration of 
the Plan.  Effective October 1, 1995, Wells Fargo, N.A. (formerly 
First Interstate Bank of California) became the trustee of the Plan 
assets.  Prior to that time an officer of the Company was trustee of 
the Plan assets.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the 
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
	The Plan is composed of nine funds:  (i) the Fixed Income Fund, which 
invests primarily in debt securities with maturities of three years or 
less; (ii) the Diversified Fund, which invests primarily in stocks, 
bonds and other corporate securities, except those issued by Rockwell; 
(iii) the Guaranteed Return Fund, which invests in insurance company 
contracts providing a guarantee of principal and stated rate of 
interest for a specified period; (iv) the Intermediate Term Bond Fund, 
which invests in U. S. Treasury and government agency bonds  with 
intermediate maturities averaging five years or less; (v) the Loan 
Fund, representing outstanding participant loan balances; (vi) Stock 
Funds A and B, which invest in or hold the common stock and the Class 
A Common Stock of the Company and (vii) Stock Funds C and D which 
invest in or hold the Common Stock of The Boeing Company ("Boeing").  
See Footnote 6 for additional information regarding Boeing. Prior to 
October 1, 1995, generally all contributions were invested in a pooled 
guaranteed insurance contract fund.  The operating results of such 
fund prior to October 1, 1995 are included with the Guaranteed Return 
Fund for 1995.  The Rockwell Class A Common Stock was converted to 
Common Stock effective February 23, 1997.
b.	Participation - The Plan provides that eligible employees electing to 
become participants may contribute up to a maximum of 14% of 
compensation, as defined in the Plan.  Participant contributions can 
be made either before or after U.S. federal taxation of a 
participant's compensation.  However, a participant's contribution on 
a before-tax basis is limited to 9% of the participant's base 
compensation for non-highly compensated participants and to 8% for 
<PAGE>


	highly compensated participants.  In addition, the Company contributes 
out of its current or accumulated earnings and profits, but not 
otherwise, an amount equal to 50% of the total amount of participant 
contributions provided that such amount shall not exceed an amount 
equal to 3% of compensation, less the amount of any forfeitures as 
provided by the Plan.  Effective October 1, 1995, the Plan was amended 
to provide for a variable Company match ranging from 50% to 100% of a 
participant's contributions, provided that such amount does not exceed 
6% of a participant's base compensation.  The percentage match is 
determined based on consolidated net sales growth of Rockwell 
Automation.  Company contributions, effective October 1, 1995, are 
made in the form of cash or common stock of Rockwell or any 
combination thereof.
c.	Investment Elections - Participants may elect to have their 
participant contributions made to (i) the Fixed Income Fund; (ii) the 
Diversified Fund; (iii) the Guaranteed Return Fund; (iv) the 
Intermediate Bond Fund; (v) the Stock Fund B; or in 5% increments 
among any or all of the above funds.  Company contributions are made 
entirely to the Rockwell Stock Fund A.  Participants with units in the 
Guaranteed Return Fund may elect to convert all or a part of their 
percentage interest in an insurance contract into units in other funds 
as the insurance contracts held within the Guaranteed Return Fund 
expire.
d.	Unit Values - Participants do not own specific securities or other 
assets in the various Funds, but have an interest therein represented 
by units valued as of the last business day of the month, which is 
generally the last stock-trading day of the month.  However, voting 
rights are extended to participants in proportion to their interest in 
Rockwell Common Stock held in Stock Fund A and Stock Fund B, as 
represented by common units.  Between valuation dates, contributions 
to and withdrawal payments from each fund are converted to units by 
dividing the amount of such transactions by the unit value as last 
determined, and the participants' accounts are charged or credited, as 
the case may be, with the number of units properly attributable to 
each participant.
e.	Vesting - Each participant is fully vested at all times in the portion 
of a participant's account which relates to the participant's 
contributions and earnings thereon.  Upon termination of employment, 
participants may receive their account balance, to the extent vested, 
in the form of a lump sum payment, installment payments or an annuity 
contract from a legal reserve life insurance company.  Amounts 
contributed after October 1, 1995 will no longer be distributed in the 
form of an annuity contract from a legal reserve life insurance 
policy.  Vesting in the Company contribution portion of participant 
accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of credited 
service.  A participant is 100 percent vested after five years of 
credited service.  Partial vesting occurs at a rate of 20% per year of 
credited service.  Vesting prior to October 1, 1995 was based on 
participation in the Plan.  Participant before-tax contributions can 
be withdrawn provided the participant has either attained the age of 
59-1/2 or is able to demonstrate financial hardship. <PAGE>


f.	Loans - A participant may obtain a loan in an amount as defined in the 
Plan (not less than $1,000 and not greater than $50,000 or 50% of the 
participant's account balance) from the balance of the participant's 
account.  Interest is charged at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 
1%.  The loans can be repaid through payroll deductions over periods 
ranging from 12 to 60 months or up to 120 months for the purchase of a 
primary residence, or they can be repaid in full after a minimum of 12 
months.  Payments of principal and interest are credited to the 
participant's account.  Participants may have only one outstanding 
loan at a time.
g.	Forfeitures - When certain terminations of participation in the Plan 
occur, the nonvested portion of the participant's account represents a 
forfeiture, as defined in the Plan.  Forfeitures revert to the Company 
and reduce the Company's contributions to the Plan.  However, if the 
participant is reemployed and fulfills certain requirements, as 
defined in the Plan, the participant's account will be restored.
h.	Benefit Claims Payable - Distributions and withdrawals from 
participant's accounts may be made at any time effective October 1, 
1995.  Prior to that time, distributions and withdrawals were made 
quarterly.  As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, net assets available for 
benefits included benefits of $1,203,020 and $440,515, respectively, 
due to participants who have withdrawn from participation in the Plan 
or who have requested partial distributions.
i.	Priorities Upon Termination of the Plan - The Company has the 
authority to suspend contributions to the Plan or to terminate or 
modify the Plan from time to time. In the event that the Plan is 
terminated or contributions by the Company are discontinued, each 
participant's employer contributions account will be fully vested.  
Benefits under the Plan will be provided solely from the Plan assets.
2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Valuation of Pooled Insurance Contract Fund - At December 31, 1996 and 
1995, the investment in the pooled insurance contract fund is valued 
at fair value.  In September 1994, the American Institute of Certified 
Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 94-4 "Reporting of 
Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and 
Defined Contribution Plans" ("SOP").  The SOP requires a defined 
contribution plan to report investment contracts with fully benefit 
responsive features at contract value and other investment contracts 
at fair value.  According to the provisions of SOP 94-4, the pooled 
insurance contracts have been determined to be non-fully benefit 
responsive.  As such, the contracts are presented at fair value on the 
statements of net assets available for benefits at December 31, 1996 
and 1995.  The crediting interest rate at December 31, 1996 for the 
contract was 6.27%.
<PAGE>


b.	Valuation of Pooled Investment Funds - The Plan's interest in pooled 
investment funds represents investments in pooled investment funds in 
which the Plan and other Company and Rockwell defined contribution 
plans participate.  The Plan's interest in the funds is carried at 
fair value based on quoted market prices.
c. Valuation of Money Market Fund - Investments in a money market fund 
are stated at fair value, which is equivalent to cost.
d. Valuation of Rockwell Common Stock and Boeing Common Stock - 
Investments in Rockwell and Boeing Common Stock are stated at fair 
value based upon closing sales prices reported on recognized 
securities exchanges on the last business day of the fiscal year.
e. Expenses - The Plan's expenses are paid by the Plan or the Company, as 
provided by the Plan document.

f. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires Plan
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of net assets available for benefits and disclosure of
contigent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions to the
Plan's net assets available for benefits during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.


3.	INVESTMENTS
The Plan's investments which exceeded 5% of the Plan's net assets as of 
December 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

5.	TAX STATUS
The Plan obtained its latest determination letter in 1996, in which the 
Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in 
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  
The Plan was not timely amended to bring it into compliance with the 
requirements of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the Technical and 
Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988.  The Company voluntarily requested to 
correct the defect under the Closing Agreement Program of the Internal 
Revenue Service.  Under this program, the Company amended the Plan on 
September 28, 1995, to bring the Plan into compliance.  On June 11, 1996, 
the Company and the Internal Revenue Service entered into a signed closing 
agreement in which the Internal Revenue Service concluded that it will 
treat the Plan as having been timely amended for purposes of the Tax 
Reform Act of 1986 and the Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988 
with respect to plan years beginning after December 31, 1986.  As part of 
the agreement, the Company paid $67,500 in penalties.
The Company believes that the Plan currently is designed and being 
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal 
Revenue Code and that, therefore, the Plan continues to qualify under 
Section 401(a) and the related trust continues to be tax-exempt as of 
December 31, 1996.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes is included 
in the Plan's financial statements.
6.	CHANGES IN THE PLAN
On December 6, 1996, the Company divested its former Aerospace and Defense 
businesses to Boeing by means of a merger in which the Company's 
predecessor corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boeing.  As a 
result of this transaction, participants of the Plan received .042 shares 
of Boeing stock for each share of Rockwell stock which they held as of the 
transaction date.  Also effective December 6, 1996, Stock Funds C and D 
consisting of Boeing Common Stock and representing matching and 
participant contributions made prior to December 6, 1996, respectively, 
have been added to the Plan.
