ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

(a)     The issuer is Motorola, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").
        The address of the principal offices of the Company is 1303 East
        Algonquin Road, Schaumburg, Illinois  60196.

(b)     This statement relates to the Company's Liquid Yield Option Notes Due
        2009 (the "Notes").  As of August 5, 1994, there were $336,353,000 in
        aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding.  The Notes are
        convertible at any time, at the option of the holder of a Note, into
        18.268 shares of the Company's common stock, $3 par value per share,
        subject to adjustment for dilutive events such as stock dividends or
        stock splits (the shares being herein referred to as the "Shares"). 
        Pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 1, 1989 between the
        Company and First National Bank of Chicago, pursuant to which the
        Notes were issued (the "Indenture"), the holders of the Notes have the
        rights to require the Company to purchase the Notes on September 7,
        1994 (the "Purchase Date") for $411.99 per $1,000 principal amount of
        Notes (the "Purchase Price").  The Company has the option to pay the
        Purchase Price in cash, Extension Notes (as such term is defined in
        the Indenture) or in Shares with a value equal to the Purchase Price. 
        The Company will notify holders of the Notes twenty (20) days prior to
        the Purchase Date that, if any holders require the Company to purchase
        any Notes, the Company will elect to pay the Purchase Price in cash. 
        As to any officer, director or affiliate of the Company who is the
        holder of any Notes and who elects to require the Company to purchase
        any or all of them on the Purchase Date, the Company will do so as
        described above, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

        The requirement to purchase the Notes terminated on September 7, 1994. 
        As of that date, holders of $140,000 in principal amount of Notes had
        exercised their rights to require the purchase of the Notes by the
        Company.

(c)     Both the Notes and the Shares are traded on the New York Stock
        Exchange (the "NYSE").  The high and low sales prices of the Notes, as
        reported by the NYSE, for each full quarterly period during the
        previous two years is as follows:

                                                    NOTES

                 03/31/93                   $61.00        $46.00   

                 06/30/93                   $80.00        $67.50

                 09/30/93                   $94.625       $76.50

                 12/31/93                   $97.75        $78.50
