RAYTHEON COMPLETES TENDER OFFER FOR E-SYSTEMS

LEXINGTON, Mass (May 1, 1995) - Raytheon Company (NYSE:RTN) announced today the
successful completion of the tender offer to acquire the common stock of E-
Systems, Inc. (NYSE:ESY) at $64.00 per share in cash.

          Approximately 33,027,200 shares of E-Systems common stock have been
tendered pursuant to Raytheon's tender offer, according to a preliminary count
by The First National Bank of Boston, the depositary for the tender offer.  This
represents about 96.5 percent of E-Systems shares outstanding on a fully diluted
basis.

          Raytheon expects to commence paying all validly tendered shares on
Wednesday, May 3, 1995.  Once the merger is completed, the remaining E-Systems
shares that Raytheon does not already own will be converted into rights to
receive $64.00 per share in cash.

          The transaction, which is valued at $2.3 billion, is expected to
provide a small increase in Raytheon's earnings per share in 1995 and an
increasingly positive contribution to earnings per share thereafter.

          The merger of the two companies, both of which announced record first
quarter 1995 results last month, will result in a strong, successful diversified
commercial company with a top tier defense business with significant growth
potential.  The combined company has $12 billion in annualized sales.

          E-Systems, based in Dallas, Texas, had 1994 sales of about $2 billion
and a record backlog of $2.7 billion at the end of the first quarter of 1995.
E-Systems is a worldwide developer and producer of electronics systems and
products in the areas of intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance systems,
command and control, specialized aircraft maintenance and modifications,
guidance, navigation and control, communications and data systems.   E-Systems
has approximately 16,000 employees.

          Raytheon, headquartered in Lexington, Massachusetts, had 1994 sales of
approximately $10 billion with a total backlog of approximately $8 billion.  The
Company has approximately 60,000 employees in four major businesses including
defense and commercial electronics, engineering and construction, aircraft, and
major appliances.
