ITEMS 1 THROUGH 17. INTRODUCTION
   
  This Amendment to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement (the "Transaction
Statement") is being filed by General Motors Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("General Motors"), in connection with a series of related
transactions (the "Hughes Transactions") pursuant to which, among other
things, each issued and outstanding share of Class H Common Stock, $0.10 par
value per share, of General Motors ("GM Class H Common Stock") will be
recapitalized and converted into one share of a new class of common stock of
General Motors ("New GM Class H Common Stock") and the right to receive a
distribution of Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Class A
Common Stock"), of HE Holdings, Inc. ("HE Holdings"). As a result of the
Hughes Transactions, among other things, (a) holders of GM Class H Common
Stock will remain stockholders of General Motors as holders of New GM Class H
Common Stock and become stockholders of HE Holdings, which, immediately after
the Hughes Transactions, will merge with Raytheon Company and be renamed
"Raytheon Company," and (b) GM Class H Common Stock will cease to exist. This
Amendment amends and supplements the Transaction Statement as filed previously
hereto.     
   
  General Motors has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 for the New GM
Class H Common Stock (as amended and including exhibits, the "New GM Class H
Registration Statement") and HE Holdings has filed a Registration Statement on
Form S-4 for the Class A Common Stock (as amended and including exhibits, and
together with the New GM Class H Registration Statement, the "Registration
Statements") with the Securities and Exchange Commission previously hereto in
connection with the Hughes Transactions.     
   
  The cross reference sheet on the following pages, which is supplied pursuant
to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3, shows the location in the
solicitation statement/prospectus that forms a part of the Registration
Statements (as amended, the "Solicitation Statement/Prospectus") of the
information required to be included in response to the items of the
Transaction Statement. The information set forth in the Registration
Statements is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and responses
to each item herein are qualified in their entirety by such reference.

  The information contained in the Registration Statements is incorporated
herein by reference in its entirety.
