INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Rockwell International Corporation Savings Plan
  and to Participants therein:

We have audited, by fund (for September 30, 1996) and in total, the 
accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Rockwell 
International Corporation Savings Plan as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and 
the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the 
years then ended.  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, by fund (for September 30, 1996) and in total, the net assets 
available for benefits of the Plan as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, 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 accompanying supplemental 
schedules of (1) assets held for investment purposes at September 30, 1997, 
and (2) reportable transactions for the year ended September 30, 1997 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.  These 
supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such 
supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied 
in our audit of the basic 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996                                       

1.	DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

 	The following description of the Rockwell International Corporation 
Savings Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes 
only.  Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete 
information.
 
a. General - The Plan is a defined contribution savings plan 
established by Rockwell International Corporation (the "Company"). 
The Company's Employee Benefit Plan Committee, the Plan's 
Administrative Committee and the Plan Administrator control and 
manage the operation and administration of the Plan.  Wells Fargo, 
N.A. serves as trustee for the Plan.  The assets of the Plan are 
managed by the trustee and several other investment managers.  The 
Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement 
Income Security Act of 1974.
 
 In 1997, the Plan's investments were transferred into the Rockwell 
International Corporation Master Defined Contribution Trust.  The 
following are the descriptions of the seven funds of the Plan in 
1996:  the Diversified Fund, which invests primarily in equity 
securities; the Fixed Income Fund, which invests in fixed income 
securities; the Guaranteed Return Fund, which invests in contracts 
with insurance companies providing a guarantee of principal 
(backed by the general assets of the insurance company) and a 
specified rate of interest; Stock Funds A and B which invest in or 
hold the Common Stock and the Class A Common Stock of the Company; 
the Loan Fund, representing outstanding participant loan balances 
and the Intermediate Term Bond Fund which invests in U.S. 
Government securities.  On December 6, 1996 Stock Funds C and D, 
consisting of the common stock of The Boeing Company ("Boeing"), 
were added to the Plan.  The Class A Common Stock was converted to 
Common Stock effective February 23, 1997.
 
b. Participation - Participation in the Plan is extended to all 
salaried employees of the Company after 30 days of employment 
effective October 1, 1996.  The Plan provides that eligible 
employees electing to become participants can contribute to the 
Plan, through either payroll deductions or deferrals at a 
specified percentage (ranging from 1% to 8%) of their base 
compensation (as defined in the Plan).  Participants currently 
contributing 8% are eligible to make a supplemental deduction or 
deferral contribution of 1% to 3% of their base compensation, or 
1% to 2% of their base compensation if such compensation exceeds a 
specified amount.
 
 	Amounts contributed by employees pursuant to payroll deductions 
are included in the participants' taxable income in the period of 
the contribution.  Amounts contributed by employees pursuant to 
payroll deferrals are excluded from the participants' taxable 
income until such amounts are received by them as a distribution 
from the Plan.
                                  5
<PAGE>

The Plan provides that the Company, when extending the benefits of 
the Plan to any employee of a component of the Company or an 
affiliated company, may place such limitations as it deems 
appropriate on the amount of compensation deferral contributions 
or on compensation deduction contributions to comply with certain 
statutory limitations.
 
A participant who elects compensation deduction contributions may, 
upon 15 days' notice, revoke such election and elect instead to 
make compensation deferral contributions effective on the first 
payroll payment date following the expiration of the notice 
period.  A participant who has elected compensation deferral 
contributions may, by giving notice to the Company in February or 
August of any year, revoke such election and elect instead 
compensation deduction contributions effective the first payroll 
payment date in April or October of that year, respectively.
 
c. Investment Elections - A participant may elect to have 
contributions made entirely to the Diversified Fund, the Fixed 
Income Fund, Stock Fund B, the Guaranteed Return Fund or the 
Intermediate Term Bond Fund or in increments of 5% to any two or 
more of such funds, with the total of the elected percentages 
equaling 100%.  Participants may change such investment elections 
once each calendar quarter.
 
A participant may elect once each calendar quarter to have 5% 
increments of his/her investment in the Diversified Fund, Fixed 
Income Fund, Stock Fund B or the Intermediate Term Bond Fund 
converted to units in any fund other than the Guaranteed Return 
Fund.  The value of such units will be determined as of the first 
valuation date following such election. Such election shall have 
no effect on any other election offered under the Plan.

Participants may annually elect to transfer a percentage of their 
Stock Fund B account to the Diversified  Fund, Fixed Income Fund, 
or the Intermediate Term Bond Fund.  The allowable annual transfer 
is 10% of the Stock Fund B amount prior to reaching age 55, and 
50% of the Stock Fund B account thereafter.
 
A participant, upon attainment of age 65, or a Rockwell retiree of 
any age, may irrevocably elect to have (i) all or a portion of the 
units in Stock Fund A and/or (ii) all or a portion of the units in 
Stock Fund B converted to units in any fund other than the 
Guaranteed Return Fund.  The value of such units will be 
determined on the first valuation date following such election.  
All subsequent Company contributions made to such participant's 
Company contributions account would be invested in the same funds 
in which the participant elected to invest contributions.
 
Participants' contributions to the Guaranteed Return Fund are 
invested in contracts with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, 
New York Life Insurance Company and John Hancock with various 
guaranteed annual returns to participants for the contract 
periods.  Such contracts guarantee the following annual returns:

 	April 1, 1994 - March 31, 1995       5.00%          March 31, 1997

 	April 1, 1997 - March 31, 1998       6.70%          March 31, 2000
 
 
 	A participant with units in the Guaranteed Return Fund may 
irrevocably elect, by providing a notice at least 30 days prior to 
the contract expiration date, to convert his/her interest in such 
contract allocated to, in 5% increments, the Diversified Fund, 
Stock Fund B, the Intermediate Term Bond Fund, the Fixed Income 
Fund and/or the current Guaranteed Return Fund.  Such conversion 
will be based on the value of units in such respective Funds as of 
the date of such expiration, or the valuation date immediately 
preceding the transfer of funds, whichever is later.

 
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 each 
month.  However, voting rights are extended to participants in 
proportion to their interest in  the Common Stock and Class A 
Common Stock held in Stock Funds A and B, as represented by Common 
Units and Class A Units.  Contributions to and withdrawal payments 
from each fund are converted to units by dividing the amounts of 
such transactions by the unit value as last determined, and the 
participants' accounts are charged or credited with the number of 
units properly attributable to each participant.
 
e. Contributions - The Company's contributions to the Plan equal 75% 
of the participants' contributions subject to reductions as the 
result of forfeitures.  Company contributions are generally made 
to Stock Fund A in the form of cash,  Common Stock or any 
combination thereof.
 
f. Vesting - Amounts contributed by participants are fully vested at 
all times.  Amounts contributed through compensation deduction 
contributions may be distributed at any time.  However, amounts 
contributed through compensation deferral contributions may be 
distributed to participants only (i) upon termination of 
employment, (ii) upon attaining the age of 59-1/2 or (iii) upon 
demonstration by the participant to the Administrative Committee 
that there is hardship as defined in the Plan.
 
Units attributable to Company contributions vest when a 
participant has completed five years of continuous service, except 
that all units fully vest upon termination of the Plan or upon a 
participant's (i) retirement, (ii) death, (iii) layoff,  (iv) 
termination  of employment  because of  inability to meet Company
 
 
 
 
 
                                 7
<PAGE>
 
 	medical standards, (v) termination of employment in order to enter 
the Armed Forces of the United States or to accept employment with 
the Government of the United States, (vi) termination of 
employment in connection with the divestiture of a component of 
the Company or (vii) reaching age 65 while employed.
 
g. Benefit Claims Payable - Retiring participants may irrevocably 
elect at any time during the 30-day period ending on the day 
immediately prior to the effective date of their retirement to 
remain in the Plan without any further contributions until 
January 1 of the calendar year following the effective date of 
their retirement, at which time they shall be entitled to receive 
their account balance valued as of the valuation date immediately 
prior to such January 1.  Terminated participants will receive 
their vested benefits no later than 60 days after the end of the 
plan year in which such termination occurs.  Participants 
separating from service who have not attained the age of 65 and 
who have an account balance greater than $3,500 must provide 
written consent to the Plan Administrator in order to receive 
their distribution before reaching age 65.  At September 30, 1997 
and 1996, the amounts of such benefit claims payable to retired 
and terminated participants were approximately $36.5 and $22 
million, respectively.
 
h. Forfeitures - When certain terminations of participation in the 
Plan occur, the nonvested portion of a participant's account, as 
defined by the Plan, represents a potential forfeiture.  Such 
forfeitures reduce subsequent Company contributions to the Plan.  
However, if upon reemployment, the former participant fulfills 
certain requirements, as defined in the Plan, the previously 
forfeited nonvested portion of the participant's account will be 
restored through Company contributions.
 
i. Loans to Participants - The Plan provides for loans to 
participants.  The participant may apply for and 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 his/her vested account balance) 
from the account balance.  The loans can be repaid through payroll 
deductions over the period of 12 to 60 months or up to 120 months 
for the purchase of a primary residence, or they can be repaid in 
full at any time that is at least 12 months following the date of 
the loan.  Interest is charged at a rate equal to the prime rate 
being charged by 75% of the largest 30 United States banks plus 
one percent.  Payments of principal and interest are credited to 
the participant's account. Also, participants may have only one 
outstanding loan at a time.
 
j. Plan Termination - The Company has the right 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 
Company 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 Investments - Investments in common stocks are stated 
at fair value based upon closing sales prices reported on 
recognized securities exchanges on the last business day of the 
fiscal year or, for listed securities having no sales reported and 
for unlisted securities, upon last reported bid prices on that 
date.  Investments in Class A Common Stock of the Company are 
stated at fair value based upon the closing sales prices of the 
Common Stock into which it is convertible.  Investments in 
certificates of deposit, money market funds and corporate debt 
instruments (commercial paper) are stated at cost which 
approximates fair value.
 
 	Valuation of Guaranteed Annuity Contracts - At September 30, 1997 
and 1996, the guaranteed annuity contracts with insurance 
companies are 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 94-4").  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 Guaranteed 
Annuity 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 September 
30, 1997 and 1996.  The crediting interest rates at September 30, 
1997 and 1996 for the contracts ranged from 5% to 8% and 5.25% to 
8%, respectively.
 
 	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 Rockwell defined 
contribution plans participate.  The Plan's interest in the funds 
is carried at fair value based on quoted market prices.
 
b. Expenses - Plan fees and expenses, including fees and expenses 
connected with the providing of administrative services by 
external service providers, are paid from Plan assets.
 
c. Use of Estimates - Estimates and assumptions made by the Plan's 
management affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities 
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of 
the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and 
decreases to the Plan during the reporting period.  Actual results 
could differ from those estimates.

4.	MASTER DEFINED CONTRIBUTION TRUST 

	At September 30, 1997, the majority of the Plan's investment assets are 
held in a Master Defined Contribution Trust account at Wells Fargo, N.A. 
Use of the Master Defined Contribution Trust permits the commingling of 
the trust assets of a number of benefit plans of Rockwell and its 
subsidiaries for investment and administrative purposes.  Although 
assets are commingled in the Master Defined Contribution Trust, Wells 
Fargo, N.A. maintains supporting records for the purpose of allocating 
the net gain of the investment accounts to the various participating 
trusts.

The investment accounts of the Master Defined Contribution Trust are 
valued at fair value at the end of each day.  The net gain of the 
accounts for each day is allocated by the trustee to each participating 
trust based on the relationship of the interest of each trust to the 
total of the interests of all participating trusts.

The Master Defined Contribution Trust investments are valued at fair 
value.  If available, quoted market prices are used to value 
investments.  In instances wherein quoted market prices are not 
available, the fair value of investments is estimated primarily by 
independent investment brokerage firms and insurance companies.  The 
funds held by the Master Defined Contribution Trust are the same as 
those discussed in footnote 1.

            available for benefits                        $4,157,473,294

	The net investment gain of the Master Defined Contribution Trust for the 
year ended September 30, 1997 is summarized as follows:
                                                                1997

     Dividends                                                10,041,267
     Net appreciation:                                                  
       U.S. Government securities                                355,501 
       Corporate bonds and debentures                            361,370 
       Common and preferred stocks                           237,067,777 
          Total investment return                         $  280,632,307

The Plan's interest in the total Master Defined Contribution Trust as a 
percentage of net assets of the Master Defined Contribution Trust was 
90% at September 30, 1997.

Prior to the transfer of assets to the Master Defined Contribution Trust 
in 1997, income of $53.5 million, net appreciation of $528 million, 
contributions of $56.4 million and distributions of $547.4 million 
occurred in the various equity funds.  In addition, income of $6 
million, net appreciation of $.5 million and distributions of $12.7 
million occurred in the various insurance contracts prior to the 
transfer of such assets.

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 has been amended since receiving the determination 
letter.  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 September 30, 1997.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes is 
included in the Plan's financial statements.

6.	PLAN AMENDMENT

Effective September 1, 1996, the Plan was amended to allow an eligible 
employee's entire account balance from a previous employer's qualified 
plan to be transferred into the Plan.


                             11
<PAGE>

Effective October 1, 1996, the Plan was amended to allow eligible 
employees to participate in and contribute to the Plan on an unmatched 
basis following one month of employment.  Company contributions will 
begin to be made to participant's accounts following completion of 52 
weeks of employment.

Effective December 6, 1996, Stock Funds C and D were added to the Plan. 
These stock funds consist of the common stock of Boeing received by the 
Plan as a result of the divestiture by the Company of its former 
Aerospace and Defense businesses (the "A & D Business") to Boeing on 
December 6, 1996.  As of the transaction date, Stock Funds C and D 
received .042 shares of Boeing common stock for each share of Rockwell 
stock held by Stock Funds A and B, respectively.  Participants who were 
employed in the former Rockwell A&D Business continue to retain their 
account balance with the Plan; however, participant contributions to the 
Plan by such former employees were suspended as of the transaction date. 
Such participants continue to retain all rights in their account 
balances with the Plan, and they are eligible to participate in the 
Boeing Savings Plan as provided by the terms of the Boeing Savings Plan 
document.


7.	INVESTMENTS EXCEEDING 5% OF NET ASSETS
