                          to be held October 28, 1994
 
GENERAL INFORMATION
 
The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation. A shareholder may revoke his proxy at any time prior to the time it
is voted at the meeting by filing with the Secretary of the Corporation a
written notice of revocation, by duly executing and delivering a subsequent
proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the meeting and voting in person.
 
The record date for shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting is August 31,
1994.
 
The Corporation has only one class of outstanding shares, namely Common Stock,
par value $1 per share, of which there were 39,391,006 shares outstanding on the
record date and 10,562 holders of record. Each share is entitled to one vote.
 
The shares represented by each valid proxy will be voted at the meeting or any
adjournment thereof, and, if a choice is specified in the proxy, the shares will
be voted in accordance with such specification. If no vote is specified, the
shares will be voted as set forth in the accompanying proxy. The election of
directors requires a plurality of the votes cast. With respect to abstentions,
shares are considered present at the meeting for a particular proposal, but
since they are not affirmative votes for the proposal, they will have the same
effect as votes against the proposal. With respect to broker non-votes, shares
are not considered present at the meeting for the particular proposal for which
the broker withheld authority.
 
So far as the directors of the Corporation are aware, no matters will be
presented to the meeting for action on the part of the shareholders other than
those stated in the notice. If any other matter is properly brought before the
meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote the
shares to which the proxy relates in accordance with their best judgment.
 
The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Corporation. Officers and
employees may, by letter, telephone, or in person, make additional requests for
the return of proxies. The Corporation will reimburse brokerage houses,
custodians, nominees and others for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with such solicitation. The Corporation also has retained Georgeson &
Company Inc. to aid in the solicitation of proxies at an estimated fee of
$7,500. This Proxy Statement, the accompanying proxy and a copy of the
Corporation's Annual Report for the year ended June 30, 1994, are being mailed
to shareholders commencing on September 15, 1994.

shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement,
disqualification or removal from office. Vacancies may be filled by the
remaining directors.
 
The authorized number of directors is presently fixed at nine. The Board is
actively evaluating potential candidates, and as an appropriate candidate is
identified the Board will consider increasing the authorized number of
directors. The terms of the continuing directors will expire at subsequent
Annual Meetings of Shareholders.
 
The persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote in favor of electing the
nominees to serve for the terms identified above, unless otherwise specified in
the proxy. If any nominee shall become unavailable for election, the proxies
will be voted for the election of such persons, if any, as shall be designated
by the Board of Directors.

nominee or director or to any executive officer of the Corporation or its

the Corporation's Common Stock on the date of each Annual Meeting. The options
are non-statutory options and are priced at 100% of the fair market value on the
date of grant. Twenty-five percent of the option shares become exercisable on
the first annual anniversary of the date of grant and twenty-five percent on
each of the three succeeding anniversary dates; however, any options outstanding
for more than one year at the time a change in control occurs become immediately
exercisable. In the event of a director's retirement, options then exercisable
may be exercised for three months thereafter, and, in the event of a director's
death, options then exercisable may be exercised for the next succeeding twelve
months. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, neither the Board nor any committee

retirement and disability benefits for each eligible director of the Corporation

MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT AND
NOMINATING COMMITTEE
REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
The Management Development and Nominating Committee approves the Corporation's
compensation philosophy and the compensation, perquisites and other benefits of
the Corporation's executive officers under salary, incentive and other plans
authorized by the Board of Directors or the Corporation's shareholders.
 
The Management Development and Nominating Committee is composed entirely of
independent outside directors. Each year, the Committee reviews compensation
matters with the Board of Directors. In addition, the Committee recommends for
consideration and approval by all of the outside directors the compensation for
the Chairman of the Board and President.
 
Compensation Philosophy
 
The Corporation's executive compensation philosophy is designed to address the
needs of the Corporation, its executives and its shareholders. The executive
compensation program is structured to:
 
     - closely link compensation to the individual's performance and the
       Corporation's financial results
 
     - align the interests of the Corporation's executives and its shareholders
       by emphasizing both the short term and strategic focus of the
       Corporation's businesses and by facilitating management stock ownership
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   14
 
     - enable the Corporation to attract and retain a world class management
       team.
 
This philosophy applies to all management employees of the Corporation including
the named executive officers. The Corporation's executive compensation program
is composed of: (i) an annual cash component, consisting of salary and an
incentive based on the financial performance of: a Sector or Division in the
case of Sector and Division management respectively; a Sector and the
Corporation in the case of the Sector Presidents; and the Corporation in the
case of the other Corporate officers; and (ii) a long-term incentive component,
consisting of stock options or performance shares. In addition, Mr. Cantrell
participates in the Lanier annual and long-term compensation plans, which are
addressed elsewhere in this proxy statement.
 
The Corporation utilizes a formal system for evaluating executive performance.
Executive annual cash compensation consisting of base pay and an annual
incentive award opportunity is determined by reference to external industrial
surveys of compensation of executives in similar positions; past individual
performance and experience in the position; and scope of responsibility. The
payouts for annual incentive awards are based upon the degree of achievement of
the net income target of the executive's business unit which is established
before the start of the year as part of the Corporation's strategic planning
process. Similarly, executive long-term compensation payouts in the form of
performance shares, stock options or cash are also tied to the degree of
attainment of financial and operating goals and objectives outlined in the
strategic planning process.
 
The Corporation's executive compensation program is designed to ensure that
executive pay remains competitive with pay for comparable jobs, responsibilities
and performance in leading industrial companies. The Corporation periodically
retains outside compensation and benefit consultants to review the Corporation's
executive compensation programs.
 
Total Annual Compensation
 
Annual cash compensation consists of a fixed salary and an opportunity for a
variable performance incentive. The Corporation's Annual Incentive Plan provides
for payment of a designated amount based upon achievement of specific financial
objectives. Performance is measured as a percent of attainment against these
objectives. Payments cannot exceed 200% of the designated amount. The percentage
of total annual pay attributable to incentive compensation increases
proportionately with the executive's level of management responsibility. For the
executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, planned incentive
compensation ranges from 46% to 55% of total annual compensation.
 
Long-Term Compensation
 
The Corporation's Stock Incentive Plan, which was approved by the shareholders
of the Corporation at the 1990 Annual Meeting, provides the means for aligning
executive interests and shareholder interests. The Plan permits the granting of
any or all of the following awards: (1) performance shares conditioned upon
meeting performance criteria, (2) restricted stock, (3) stock options, including
incentive stock options, (4) stock appreciation rights, independent of, or, in
tandem with, stock options, and (5) other awards valued in whole or in part by
reference to, or otherwise based on, the Corporation's Common Stock.
 
The Committee believes that through the use of stock incentives the interests of
the Corpo-
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   15
 
ration's executives are directly related to enhancing shareholder value. To
date, the Committee has granted only performance share awards and stock options.
With respect to performance share awards, the Committee determines the
applicable performance criteria utilizing the Corporation's strategic planning
process and a period of time (generally, three fiscal years) during which the
Corporation's performance is to be measured. The Committee then assigns to each
participant a number of performance shares and establishes a mechanism for
computing the number of performance shares that can be earned during the period
based on the performance of a Sector or Division in the case of Sector and
Division management respectively, of a Sector and the Corporation in the case of
the Sector Presidents, and of the Corporation in the case of other Corporate
officers. Payouts range from zero to 200% of the performance share award.
Performance shares are valued in direct relation to the market value of the
equivalent number of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock. Stock options are
granted at fair market value as of the grant date, vest over three or four
years, and generally have a term of not greater than ten years. Stock options
provide value to the executives only when the price of the Corporation's Common
Stock increases above the option grant price.
 
Chief Executive Officer Compensation
 
In determining Mr. Hartley's base salary, incentive compensation and performance
share award for fiscal 1994, the Committee considered both the Corporation's
performance and Mr. Hartley's individual performance by the same measures
described above for determining executive officer compensation.
 
In fiscal 1994, Mr. Hartley received incentive compensation based upon 105%
achievement of the Corporation's net income target for the year. Mr. Hartley's
long-term incentive compensation was measured against the Corporation's return
on equity and earnings per share growth objectives established at the outset of
the three year period commencing July 1, 1991 and ending June 30, 1994. Based
upon the performance of the Corporation for that three year period the Committee
authorized the payout of 35,000 performance shares originally awarded in fiscal
1992.
 
Impact of Recent Tax Legislation
 
Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), enacted in 1993, precludes a public
corporation from taking a deduction in 1994 or subsequent years for compensation
in excess of $1 million for its chief executive officer or any of its four other
highest-paid officers. Certain performance-based compensation, however, is
specifically exempt from the deduction limit.
 
The Committee has closely followed the enactment of Section 162(m) and the
Internal Revenue Service proposed regulations issued in December 1993
implementing this legislation. The Committee recognizes that some of the
compensation paid to one or more of the five covered executive officers may not
qualify for exemption. The Committee is reluctant, however, to make changes at
this time to the executive compensation programs solely for tax purposes, at
least until final regulations are issued. At that time, the Committee will
assess the practical impact of the new tax legislation on executive compensation
and determine what action, if any, is appropriate.

(1) None of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table
received personal benefits in excess of the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of total
compensation for fiscal 1994 or 1993. The amounts reported represent dividend
equivalent payments on outstanding performance shares granted under the Stock
Incentive Plan. Disclosure for fiscal 1992 is not required.
 
(2) In August 1991, the Management Development and Nominating Committee adopted
a new measurement methodology for performance share awards pursuant to which
final payout is determined by the Committee based primarily upon actual
financial performance compared with Strategic Plan objectives. Financial
performance criteria include: corporate return on equity and earnings per share
growth; and sector/division return on capital and net income growth. This
methodology was applied to Performance Share Awards covering each of the three
year periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993. The original payout for Performance
Share Awards for the three year period ended June 30, 1993 was to be determined
by application of financial results to a predetermined matrix composed of
measurements of earnings growth and return on equity or capital.
 
The value of the shares earned for the three year period ended June 30, 1994
(Mr. Hartley -- 35,000; Mr. Farmer -- 15,000; Mr.
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   18
 
Numann -- 8,832; and Mr. Roub -- 8,200 shares) is based upon the closing price
of the Corporation's Common Stock on June 30, 1994.
 
The value of the shares earned for the three year period ended June 30, 1993
(Mr. Hartley -- 15,750; Mr. Farmer -- 5,050; Mr. Numann -- 3,654; and Mr. Roub
- - -- 3,700 shares) is based upon the closing price of the Corporation's Common
Stock on June 30, 1993. These shares remain restricted and subject to forfeiture
upon earlier termination of employment under certain circumstances until June
30, 1995. Mr. Farmer earned 1,541 shares for the three year period ended June
30, 1992. The value of these shares is based upon the closing price of the
Corporation's Common Stock on June 30, 1992. The restrictions on these shares
lapsed on June 30, 1994.
 
Performance Shares that were not earned were forfeited by the named executive
officers and returned to the Corporation. Performance Shares forfeited for the
performance period ended June 30, 1994 are as follows: Mr. Numann -- 768; and
for the performance period ended June 30, 1993 are as follows: Mr. Hartley --
15,750; Mr. Farmer -- 5,050; Mr. Numann -- 5,046; and Mr. Roub -- 3,700 shares;
and for the performance period ended June 30, 1992 are as follows: Mr. Hartley
- - -- 23,500; Mr. Farmer -- 5,959; Mr. Numann -- 6,500; and Mr. Roub -- 5,500
shares.
 
(3) Mr. Cantrell's grants were made under the Lanier Worldwide, Inc. Longer Term
Incentive Plan For Key Employees described in the Long Term Incentive Plans --
Awards in Last Fiscal Year table. The payment reflected in the table for fiscal
1994 is for performance during the three year performance period
ended June 30, 1994 and for fiscal 1992 is for performance during the three year
performance period ended June 30, 1990. Payment of the fiscal 1992 award was
made upon the expiration of a two year holding period following the completion
of the performance period and during the two-year holding period was subject to
forfeiture upon earlier termination of employment under certain circumstances
with Lanier Worldwide, Inc.
 
(4) Amounts reported include:
 
      (i) Contributions to the Harris Corporation Retirement Plan for fiscal
          1994 are as follows: Mr. Hartley -- $15,000; Mr. Farmer -- $10,503;
          Mr. Numann -- $10,485; and Mr. Roub -- $10,470; and for fiscal 1993
          are as follows: Mr. Hartley -- $15,000; Mr. Farmer -- $11,336; Mr.
          Numann -- $11,199; and Mr. Roub -- $13,103.
 
      (ii) Contributions made to the Corporation's Supplemental Executive
           Retirement Plan for fiscal 1994 are as follows: Mr. Hartley --
           $374,291; Mr. Farmer -- $76,894; Mr. Numann -- $51,017; and Mr. Roub

(1) All stock option grants, without exception, are made under the Corporation's
    Stock Incentive Plan. The term of each stock option is generally 10 years
    and is generally exercisable in installments as follows: 50% after one year;
    75% after two years; and 100% after three years. The exercise price is the
    closing price of a share of the Corporation's Common Stock on the date of
    grant. The exercise price may be paid in cash or shares of the Corporation's
    Common Stock, or "cashless exercise" procedures may be used. If shares of
    the Corporation's Common Stock are delivered in payment, a Restoration Stock
    Option (RSO) will be granted equal to the number of shares used to exercise
    the stock option. The expiration date of these grants remains the last day
    the underlying grant is exercisable. RSO grants are non-qualified, and are
    first exercisable six months after the date of grant at the then market
    value.
 
(2) The enclosed information shows the increase in market value of the
    Corporation's Common Stock for all shareholders, assuming the stock price
    appreciation at 5% and 10%, respectively, over a ten year period.

    thereof. The plan is designed to motivate key employees to maximize longer
    term appreciation in shareholder value by aligning their interests with
    shareholder interests. Final payout is determined by the Management
    Development and Nominating Committee and is based upon financial performance
    compared with Strategic Plan objectives. Performance criteria include:
    corporate return on equity and earnings per share growth; and
    sector/division return on capital and net income growth. Share payouts are
    made following the determination of the Committee and range from zero to a
    maximum of 200% of the original shares awarded. Strategic Plans covering a
    three year period are prepared annually for each business unit and for the
    Corporation. In addition, participants receive quarterly payments in respect
    of the number of performance shares awarded equal to dividends paid to
    shareholders of the same number of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock.
 
(2) Mr. Cantrell's cash award is based upon the criteria described above and was
    made under the Lanier Worldwide, Inc. Longer Term Incentive Plan for Key
    Employees.

LANIER WORLDWIDE PENSION PLAN
 
The Lanier Worldwide, Inc. Pension Plan is a defined benefit plan. Substantially
all of the United States employees of Lanier Worldwide and its participating
subsidiaries are eligible to participate. The Plan is fully paid by Lanier
Worldwide, and employees become vested upon the completion of five years of
service. For an employee retiring at age 65, annual pension benefits are
determined by adding (a) 1.22% of the average of the employee's five highest
consecutive years' compensation in the last ten calendar years before
retirement, multiplied by the lesser of the employee's years of service or 30,
and (b) .33% of that part of the employee's five-year average compensation in
excess of a certain amount, multiplied by the lesser of the employee's years of
service or 30. The following table sets forth the estimated annual pension
benefits payable upon retirement in specified compensation and years of service
classifications. The amounts shown in the table apply to employees of Lanier
Worldwide retiring after June 30, 1992, at age 65 or older.

Compensation recognized by the Plan is base salary, bonuses and sales
commissions. Base salary for purposes of calculating retirement benefits under
the Plan includes amounts deferred under the Lanier Worldwide, Inc. Savings
Incentive Plan. For fiscal 1994, average compensation for Mr. Cantrell does not
include amounts earned under the Longer Term Incentive Plan. As of June 30,
1994, Mr. Cantrell's average compensation was $235,840, and he had 30 credited
years of service in the Plan.
 
Lanier Worldwide's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan furnishes certain
employees retirement benefits which would have been available under the Pension
Plan but for the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. Upon
retirement or other termination, the then value of the amount deferred is
payable in cash.
 
EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS
 
The Corporation has entered into executive severance contracts with the
corporate officers, including each of the executive officers named in the table,
to provide continuity of management in the event of a defined change in control.
Under the agreements, in the event a change in control is undertaken by a third
party and the officer does not voluntarily terminate employment within six
months following the change in control, the officer is entitled to payments in
the event of termination of employment by the employee or by the Corporation
during a one-year period following a change in control. Upon any such
termination, the officer shall be entitled to payments in an amount equal to
one, two or three times planned annual base and incentive compensation,
depending on the officer involved. These amounts are for three years in the case
of Mr. Hartley and two years in the case of the other executive officers named
in the Summary Compensation Table and can be approximated by multiplying the
years times the compensation amounts set forth in the table. In addition, the
agreement provides for the vesting of amounts in the retirement plan for the
account of the officer, as well as immediate vesting of all options and stock
appreciation rights outstanding and continuation of various benefits for a like
period.
 
SELECTION OF AUDITORS
 
The Board of Directors recommends the selection of Ernst & Young, independent
public accountants, to audit the books and accounts of the Corporation for the
current fiscal year which ends June 30, 1995. A representative of Ernst & Young
is expected to be present at the shareholders' meeting with the opportunity to
make a statement if he desires to do so and to be available to respond to
appropriate questions of shareholders.
