                                PROXY STATEMENT
 
                              GENERAL INFORMATION
 
     This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of AlliedSignal Inc. (the 'Company') for use
at the Annual Meeting of Shareowners to be held on Monday, April 27, 1998, and
at any adjournment thereof. The solicitation of proxies provides all shareowners
who are entitled to vote on matters that come before the meeting with an
opportunity to do so whether or not they are able to attend the meeting in
person. This Proxy Statement and the related proxy card are first being sent to
the Company's shareowners on or about March 10, 1998.
 
     Owners of record of the Company's Common Stock (the 'Common Stock') at the
close of business on March 2, 1998, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the
Annual Meeting. At February 20, 1998, there were 567,901,259 shares of Common
Stock outstanding. The owners of a majority of the shares entitled to vote,
present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business at the meeting. Shareowners are entitled to one vote for
each share held. If a shareowner is a participant in the Company's Dividend
Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the 'Dividend Reinvestment Plan'), the
proxy card represents shares in the participant's plan account, as well as
shares held of record in the participant's name.
 
     The shares represented by a properly signed and returned proxy card will be
voted as specified by the shareowner. If a proxy card is signed and returned but
no specification is made, the shares will be voted FOR the election of all
nominees for director (Proposal 1) and the appointment of independent
accountants (Proposal 2), and AGAINST the shareowner proposals described in this
Proxy Statement (Proposals 3 through 5). A proxy may be revoked by a shareowner
at any time before it is voted by notice in writing delivered to the Secretary,
by submission of another proxy bearing a later date or by voting in person at
the Annual Meeting.
 
     Abstentions are not counted as votes 'for' or 'against' a proposal, but are
counted in determining the number of shares present or represented on a
proposal. Therefore, since approval of Proposals 2 through 5 requires the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or
represented, abstentions have the same effect as a vote 'against' those
proposals. New York Stock Exchange rules prohibit brokers from voting on
Proposals 3 through 5 without receiving instructions from the beneficial owner
of the shares. In the absence of instructions, shares subject to such 'broker
non-votes' will not be counted as voted or as present or represented on those
proposals.
 
     It is the policy of the Company that any proxy, ballot or other voting
material that identifies the particular vote of a shareowner will, if requested
thereon by the shareowner, be kept confidential, except in the event of a
contested proxy solicitation or as may be required by law. The Company may be
informed whether or not a particular shareowner has voted and will have access
to any comment written on a proxy, ballot or other material and to the identity
of the commenting shareowner. Under the policy, the inspectors of election at
any meeting will be independent parties unaffiliated with the Company.

                           1 -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
     The Company's Board of Directors is divided into three classes that serve
staggered three-year terms and are as nearly equal in number as possible. The
Board has nominated five candidates for election as directors for a term ending
at the 2001 Annual Meeting. The vote of a plurality of the shares of Common
Stock present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is
required for election as a director.
 
     All current directors were previously elected by the shareowners, except
Daniel P. Burnham and Frederic M. Poses, who joined the Board in October 1997.
Each nominee for election has consented to being named in the Proxy Statement
and to serve if elected. If prior to the Annual Meeting any nominee should
become unavailable to serve, the shares represented by a properly signed and
returned proxy card will be voted for the election of such other person as may
be designated by the Board of Directors, or the Board may determine to leave the
vacancy temporarily unfilled or reduce the authorized number of directors
pursuant to the By-laws. All directors serve subject to the retirement policy
described on page 8.
 
     Certain information regarding each nominee and each director continuing in
office after the Annual Meeting is set forth below, including age and principal
occupation, a brief account of business experience during at least the last five
years, certain other directorships currently held and the year in which the
individual was first elected a director of the Company or one of its predecessor
companies.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
 
     The business of the Company is managed under the direction of the Board of
Directors. There were eight meetings of the Board in 1997, with individual
attendance averaging 97% of the meetings. Average attendance by incumbent
directors at all meetings of the Board and Committees of the Board on which they
served was 95%.
 
     The Board of Directors' retirement policy establishes 70 as the retirement
age for non-employee directors. A director who reaches retirement age shall
serve until the next Annual Meeting. The policy also provides that non-employee
directors who discontinue the principal position or identification which
prevailed at the time of their election (other than by virtue of a promotion)
shall offer to tender their resignations as directors and that an employee
director shall resign from the Board effective upon termination of service as an
active employee of the Company. The Board has discretion to make exceptions to
the policy.
 
     Because of the number of matters requiring Board consideration, and to make
the most effective use of individual Board members' capabilities, the Board of
Directors has established Committees to devote attention to specific subjects
and to assist it in the discharge of its responsibilities. The functions of
these Committees, their current members and the number of meetings held during
1997 are described below. A non-employee director may also attend a Committee
meeting as an alternate member at the request of the Committee Chairman (with
the concurrence of the Chairman of the Board).
 
     The Audit Committee recommends the firm to be appointed as independent
accountants to audit the Company's financial statements and to perform services
related to the audit; reviews the scope and results of the audit with the
independent accountants; reviews with management and the independent accountants
the Company's interim and year-end operating results; considers the adequacy of
the internal accounting and auditing procedures of the Company; and considers
the accountants' independence. The members of the Audit Committee, which met
five times in 1997, are Messrs. R. E. Palmer (Chairman), Becherer, J. Stafford
and Winters, Ms. Fudge and Gen. Kelley.
 
     The Corporate Governance Committee reviews policies and makes
recommendations to the Board, as appropriate, concerning Board-related issues,
such as the size and composition of the Board, the criteria and qualifications
for election to the Board, retirement from the Board, director compensation and
benefits, and the structure, composition and membership of Board committees. The
Committee also considers and recommends individuals for nomination as directors.
The names of potential director candidates are drawn from a number of sources,
including recommendations from members of the Board, management and shareowners.
Shareowners wishing to recommend Board nominees should submit their
recommendations in writing to the Secretary, AlliedSignal Inc., P.O. Box 4000,
Morristown, New Jersey 07962, with the submitting shareowner's name and address
and pertinent information about the proposed nominee similar to that set forth
in this Proxy Statement for Board nominees, including current principal
occupation and employment, principal positions held during the last five years
and a list of all companies which the individual serves as a director. (See the
heading 'Additional Information -- Other Action at the Meeting' for a summary of
the procedure applicable to a shareowner nomination at an annual meeting.) This
Committee is responsible for the periodic review of the overall effectiveness of
the Board and, when appropriate, making recommendations for improvements. The
members

of the Corporate Governance Committee, which met two times in 1997, are Messrs.
Becherer (Chairman), Luciano, R. E. Palmer, Seidenberg and Winters.
 
     The Corporate Responsibility Committee reviews the policies and programs
that are designed to assure the Company's compliance with legal and ethical
standards and that affect its role as a responsible corporate citizen, including
those relating to human resources issues such as equal employment opportunity,
to health, safety and environmental matters, and to proper business practices.
The members of the Committee are Gen. Kelley (Chairman), Ms. Fudge, Messrs. R.
B. Palmer and Sigler, Lt. Gen. T. Stafford and Dr. Yang. It met three times in
1997.
 
     The Management Development and Compensation Committee reviews and
recommends the compensation arrangements for officers; approves such
arrangements for other senior level employees; considers matters related to
management development and succession and recommends individuals for election as
officers; and reviews or takes such other action as may be required in
connection with the bonus, stock and other benefit plans of the Company and its
subsidiaries. It met six times in 1997. The Committee members are Messrs.
Luciano (Chairman), Becherer, Seidenberg, Sigler and J. Stafford.
 
     The Retirement Plans Committee appoints the trustees for funds under the
employee pension benefit plans of the Company and certain subsidiaries; reviews
funding strategies; sets investment policy for fund assets; and oversees and
appoints members of other committees investing fund assets. This Committee met
three times in 1997. Its members are Messrs. Winters (Chairman), Luciano, R. E.
Palmer, Sigler and J. Stafford and Ms. Fudge.
 
     The Technology Committee reviews corporate-wide technology matters,
including research, development and engineering, and advises the Company with
respect to its technology program and budget, proposed changes in corporate
strategy where technology is a significant component, and technologies of
importance to the Company's existing or new business areas. The members of this
Committee are Lt. Gen. T. Stafford (Chairman), Gen. Kelley, Messrs. R. B. Palmer
and Seidenberg and Dr. Yang. It met two times in 1997.
 
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
 
     Non-employee directors receive an annual Board retainer of $50,000, of
which $15,000 is automatically credited to each director's account in the
Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the 'Deferred
Compensation Plan') in the form of Common Stock equivalents (which are only
payable after termination of Board service). They also receive a fee of $1,500
for Board meetings attended on any day (eight during 1997), an annual retainer
of $5,400 for each Board Committee served, and an additional Committee Chairman
retainer of $4,000 for the Audit and Management Development and Compensation
Committees and $2,000 for all other Board Committees. While no meeting fees are
generally paid for attendance at Committee meetings, a $1,000 fee is paid for
attendance at a Committee meeting, or other extraordinary meeting related to
Board business, which occurs apart from a Board meeting, and a $1,000 per day
fee is paid for special assignments. Non-employee directors are also provided
with $350,000 in business travel accident insurance and are eligible to elect,
without contribution by them, $100,000 in term life insurance and medical and
dental coverage for themselves and their eligible dependents. All directors are
reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending meetings.
 
                                       9

     Directors may elect to defer, until a specified calendar year or retirement
from the Board, all or any portion of their annual retainers and fees that are
not automatically deferred and to have such compensation credited to their
account in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Amounts credited either accrue
amounts equivalent to interest at the same rate as that determined by the
Management Development and Compensation Committee for amounts deferred during
the same year under the Company's Incentive Compensation Plan (10% for 1998) or
are valued as if invested in Common Stock equivalents or one of the other funds
available for investments by participants in the AlliedSignal Savings Plan, as
elected by the director. All amounts credited as Common Stock equivalents under
the Deferred Compensation Plan, including those referred to above, will earn
amounts equivalent to dividends, which will be credited to the directors'
accounts as if reinvested in Common Stock, and all such deferred amounts will be
paid in cash following termination of Board service. Common Stock equivalents
credited to directors' deferred accounts are included in the table set forth
below under 'Voting Securities.' Upon a change in control, a director will be
entitled to a lump-sum cash payment of all deferred amounts.
 
     Under the Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors, each new non-employee
director receives a one-time grant of 3,000 shares of Common Stock, which are
subject to transfer restrictions until the director's service terminates with
the consent of a majority of the other members of the Board, provided
termination occurs at or after age 65. During the restricted period, the
director has the right to receive dividends on and the right to vote the shares.
At the end of the restricted period, a director is entitled to one-fifth of the
shares granted for each year of service (up to five). The shares will be
forfeited if the director's service terminates (other than for death or
disability) prior to the end of the restricted period. The Plan also provides
for the grant to each non-employee director continuing in office after an Annual
Meeting of an option to purchase 2,000 shares of Common Stock at 100% of the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Each option becomes
fully vested at the earliest of the director's retirement from the Board at or
after age 70, death, disability or April 1 of the third year after the date of
grant. Prior thereto, each option becomes exercisable in cumulative installments
of 40% of the shares subject to the option on April 1 of the year following the
grant date and an additional 30% on April 1 of each of the next two years.
 
                               VOTING SECURITIES
 
     As of January 1, 1998, State Street Bank & Trust Company, 225 Franklin

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors and executive officers to file reports relating to their ownership and
changes in ownership of the Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and New York Stock Exchange. Based on information provided by the
Company's directors and officers and a review of such reports, the Company
believes that all required reports were filed on a timely basis during 1997
except that one transaction by Robert F. Friel, an officer of the Company, was
reported less than one month after the due date.
 
                             EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
 
     The Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors (the 'Committee'), subject to the approval of the Board of Directors,
determines the compensation of the Company's executive officers and oversees the
administration of executive compensation programs. The Committee is composed
solely of independent directors.
 
Executive Compensation Policies and Programs
 
     The Company's executive compensation programs are designed to attract and
retain highly qualified executives and to motivate them to maximize shareowner
returns by achieving aggressive goals. The programs link each executive's
compensation directly to performance. A significant portion of each executive's
compensation is dependent upon the appreciation of the Common Stock and meeting
financial goals and other individual performance objectives.
 
     There are three basic components to this 'pay for performance' system: base
pay; annual incentive bonus; and long-term, equity-based incentive compensation
(primarily stock options). Each component is addressed in the context of
competitive conditions. In determining competitive compensation levels, the
Company analyzes information from several independent surveys which include
information regarding comparably-sized industrial companies. Since the Company's
market for executive talent extends beyond its own industries, the survey data
include companies outside the industrial classifications represented in the
Composite Group Index referred to below under 'Performance Graph.'
 
     Base pay. Base pay is designed to be competitive within 20% above or below
median salary levels at other large industrial companies for equivalent
positions. The executive's actual salary relative to this competitive framework
varies based on individual performance and the individual's skills, experience
and background.
 
                                       12

     Annual incentive bonus. In 1997, each executive was eligible to receive an
annual cash bonus. Award levels, like the base salary levels, are set with
reference to competitive conditions and are intended to motivate the Company's
executives by providing substantial bonus payments for the achievement of
aggressive goals. The actual amounts paid were determined by performance based
on two factors: first, financial performance, which was measured against
objectives established for net income, cash flow, productivity increases and
revenue growth; and second, the individual executive's performance against other
specific management objectives, such as improving customer satisfaction and
developing organizational capability. Financial objectives were given greater
weight than other management objectives in determining bonus payments. The types
and relative importance of specific financial and other business objectives
varied among the Company's executives depending on their positions and the
particular operations or functions for which they were responsible.
 
     Long-term, equity-based incentive compensation. The long-term, equity-based
compensation program is tied directly to shareowner return. The executive is
rewarded if the shareowners receive the benefit of appreciation in the price of
the Common Stock. Under the program, long-term incentive compensation consists
of stock option grants which vest over a multi-year period. Options for
executive officers are granted in tandem with limited stock appreciation rights,
which are designed to provide the executive with an economic benefit comparable
to that available to all shareowners in the event of a tender offer for the
Company's shares, a change in control or similar event. The Company periodically
grants new awards to provide continuing incentives for future performance,
without regard to the number of outstanding awards. Depending on the executive,
grants are either made annually, with vesting over a three-year period, or
periodically, with vesting over a longer period but subject to acceleration if
specified financial performance objectives are achieved. Like the annual bonus,
award levels are set with regard to competitive considerations, and each
individual's actual award is based upon the individual's performance, potential
for advancement, leadership ability and commitment to the Company's total
quality efforts.
 
     The principal purpose of the long-term incentive compensation program is to
encourage the Company's executives to enhance the value of the Company and,
hence, the price of the Common Stock and the shareowners' return. This component
of the compensation system (through extended vesting) also is designed to create
an incentive for the individual to remain with the Company. In addition, awards
of restricted units, each of which entitles the holder to one share of Common
Stock on vesting (or cash in the Committee's discretion), may be made on a
select basis to individual executives in order to enhance the retention
incentive. These units vest over an extended period of up to ten years.
 
     The Company intends, to the extent practicable, to preserve deductibility
under the Internal Revenue Code of compensation paid to its executive officers
while maintaining compensation programs to attract and retain highly qualified
executives in a competitive environment. Accordingly, compensation paid under
the Company's 1993 Stock Plan and Incentive Compensation Plan is generally
deductible, although certain compensation paid to some executives may not be
deductible.

Annual Reviews
 
     Each year, the Committee reviews the executive compensation policies with
respect to the linkage between executive compensation and the creation of
shareowner value, as well as the competitiveness of the programs. The Committee
determines what changes, if any, are appropriate in the compensation programs.
In conducting these annual reviews, the Committee considers information provided
by the Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President-Human Resources and
Communications and uses surveys and reports prepared by independent compensation
consultants. The Committee also periodically reviews the levels of ownership in
shares and share-equivalents of the Common Stock for executive officers to
assure that they maintain ownership positions that are consistent with
guidelines established at other large industrial companies.
 
     The Committee annually reviews with the Chief Executive Officer the
individual performance of the other executive officers and the Chief Executive
Officer's recommendations with respect to the appropriate compensation awards.
With Board authorization, the Committee approves salary actions and determines
the amount of annual bonus and the number of long-term, equity-based awards for
each officer. The Committee also reviews with the Chief Executive Officer the
financial and other objectives for the senior executive and other officers for
the following year.
 
     In 1997, awards to executive officers as a group reflected the overall
financial performance of the Company, which included achievement of the
Company's sales, earnings per share and cash flow goals. Awards to individuals
also reflected performance against their specific management objectives, as well
as the performance of the operations or functions for which they were
responsible.
 
Chief Executive Officer
 
     Based on the Company's financial performance in 1997, which included a 15%
increase in earnings per share and net income in excess of $1.1 billion, as well
as a 16% increase in the price of the Common Stock, the Company's focus on
customer excellence, and the emphasis on development of the Company's
organizational capability and leadership team, the Committee awarded Mr. Bossidy
a bonus of $3,150,000. In addition, in order to further recognize and reward Mr.
Bossidy for his extraordinary performance on behalf of the Company, given that
his base salary, incentive bonus target and eligibility for restricted units
have remained unchanged since 1994, and to provide a stock option-based
incentive to continue his contributions to the improvement of the share price
through and beyond retirement on April 1, 2000, and to assure a successful
transition, the Committee in 1997 approved a grant of 1,500,000 stock options
(after adjustment to reflect the two-for-one split of the Common Stock in
September 1997 (the 'Split')), which will vest if the Company achieves a
cumulative 45% growth in consolidated earnings per share during any consecutive
three-year period and be exercisable no sooner than age 65 (with respect to 50%
of the options) and age 66 (with respect to the remaining 50%); in any event,
the options will fully vest and be exercisable on the earlier of January 1,
2002, death or total disability.

(1) Options are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which assumes
    a historic five-year average volatility of 18.6%, the average dividend yield
    for the three years ended December 31, 1996 (1.8%), a 6.8% risk-free rate of
    return (based on the average zero coupon five-year U.S. Treasury note yield
    for the month of grant), and an expected option life of five years based on
    past experience. No adjustments are made for risk of forfeiture. Options
    will have no actual value unless, and then only to the extent that, the
    Common Stock price appreciates from the grant date to the exercise date. If
    the grant date present values are realized, total shareowner value will have
    appreciated by approximately $5.1 billion, and the value of the granted
    options reflected in the table will be less than 0.3% of the total
    shareowner appreciation.
 
(2) These options will fully vest on the earlier of January 1, 2002, death,
    disability or April 1 of the year following achievement of at least a
    cumulative 45% growth in consolidated earnings per share for a consecutive
    three-year period. The options are accompanied by tandem limited stock
    appreciation rights ('LSARs'), which provide that in the event of a tender
    offer for the Company's shares, a change in control or similar event, a cash
    payment will be made within 90 days equal to the difference between the
    option exercise price and a price for the Common Stock related to the event,
    and the corresponding options will expire.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH
 
     The following graph compares the five-year cumulative total return on the
Common Stock to the total returns on the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and a

     In each case, a $100 investment on December 31, 1992 and reinvestment of

     The Composite Group Index combines the total returns on the published Dow
Jones indices for the Aerospace & Defense, Automobile Parts & Equipment
Excluding Tire and Rubber Makers, and Chemical Groups. The total return for the
Composite Group Index is calculated by adding the products obtained from
separately multiplying the total return for each of the three Dow Jones groups
by the total market capitalization of the companies included in that group and
dividing by the total market capitalization of the companies included in the
three groups. This calculation is made for each year using stock market
capitalization data as of the beginning of the year provided to the Company by
Dow Jones. Shareowners may obtain this data from the Secretary, AlliedSignal
Inc., P.O. Box 4000, Morristown, New Jersey 07962.

</TABLE>
 
     The benefit amounts shown in the Pension Table are computed on a straight
life annuity basis. At January 1, 1998, the following individuals had the
indicated number of years of credited service for pension purposes: Mr. Bossidy,
6.5; Mr. Poses, 28.33; Mr. Burnham, 15.67; Mr. Barter, 21.83; Mr. Kreindler,
6.0; and Mr. Wallman, 1.83.
 
     The amounts in the Salary and Bonus columns of the Summary Compensation
Table for 1997 would be included in computing remuneration for pension purposes.
Average annual remuneration under the Pension Plan is calculated based on the
highest paid 60 consecutive months of an employee's last 120 months of
employment.
 
     Under his employment agreement, commencing on retirement, Mr. Bossidy is
entitled to receive during his lifetime Company facilities and services
comparable to those provided prior to his retirement, and a retirement benefit
equivalent to 60% of his final average compensation (based on his highest three
years of salary and bonus) payable annually for his lifetime, and 45% of his
final average compensation payable annually thereafter to his surviving spouse
for her lifetime. If Mr. Bossidy dies prior to retirement, a benefit equivalent
to 45% of his final average compensation will be paid to his surviving spouse
for her lifetime. Benefits under the agreement will be reduced by any retirement
benefits payable under the Pension Plan and Supplemental Plan, any survivor
benefit payable under the Company's executive life insurance program, and under
certain circumstances, benefits payable under pension plans of his former
employer.

EMPLOYMENT AND TERMINATION ARRANGEMENTS
 
     Mr. Bossidy's employment agreement with the Company provides for his
employment as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer through April 1, 2000 at a
salary of $2,000,000 per year, and a target annual incentive bonus of at least
80% of salary. Mr. Bossidy also has agreed to be available as an advisor to and
representative of the Company following retirement, as mutually agreed to by him
and his successor. His employment agreement also provides for certain post-
retirement benefits which are described under 'Retirement Benefits.' The Company
has assumed obligations for certain life insurance policies and will be
reimbursed from the proceeds of the policies for premiums it pays; the value of
these premiums is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.
 
     In connection with Mr. Barter's retirement, the Committee determined that
following retirement his remaining unvested stock options and one third of his
remaining unvested restricted units would vest in accordance with their original
terms.
 
     Under the Severance Plan for Senior Executives (the 'Plan'), the other
executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table would be entitled to
payments equivalent to base salary and annual incentive bonus (and continuation
of certain benefits, such as group life and medical insurance coverage) for a
period of time if their employment is terminated other than for 'gross cause'
(which includes fraud and criminal conduct). The period would range from 18
months for any named officer hired after June 30, 1993 to 36 months for those
named officers employed on that date (but in no event beyond age 65), provided
that payments would be made in a lump sum following a change in control. The
Plan provides for an additional payment sufficient to eliminate the effect of
any applicable excise tax on severance payments in excess of an amount
determined under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. Payments subject to
the excise tax would not be deductible by the Company.
 
                  2 -- APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
     Upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, which is composed entirely
of independent directors, the Board of Directors has appointed Price Waterhouse
LLP ('Price Waterhouse') as independent accountants for the Company to audit its
consolidated financial statements for 1998 and to perform audit-related
services, including review of the Company's quarterly interim financial
information and periodic reports and registration statements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and consultation in connection with various
accounting and financial reporting matters. Price Waterhouse also performs
non-audit services for the Company.
 
     The Board has directed that the appointment of Price Waterhouse be
submitted to the shareowners for approval. The affirmative vote of a majority of
the shares of Common Stock present or represented and entitled to vote on the
proposal at the Annual Meeting is required for approval. If the shareowners do
not approve, the Audit Committee and the Board will reconsider the appointment.
 
     Total fees for services rendered by Price Waterhouse in 1997 to the Company
and its subsidiaries worldwide were approximately $14,100,000. The Company has
been advised by Price Waterhouse that it will have a representative present at
the Annual Meeting who will be
 
                                       20

available to respond to appropriate questions. The representative will also have
the opportunity to make a statement if he desires to do so.
 
     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREOWNERS VOTE FOR THE
APPROVAL OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PRICE WATERHOUSE AS INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS.
 
                              SHAREOWNER PROPOSALS
 
     Shareowners have given the Company notice of their intention to introduce
the following proposals for consideration and action by the shareowners at the
Annual Meeting. The proposed resolutions and accompanying statements have been
provided by the respective proponents and the Company is not responsible for any
inaccuracies contained therein. For the reasons stated, the Board of Directors
does not support these proposals. The affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares of Common Stock present or represented and entitled to vote on the
proposals at the Annual Meeting is required for approval of each proposal.
 
                       3 -- SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL REGARDING
                            EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PAY
 
     This proposal has been submitted by the Teamsters Affiliates Pension Plan,
25 Louisiana Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20001 (the owner of 37,800 shares of
Common Stock).
 
                            ------------------------
 
     'Proposal: Shareholders urge that the board of directors adopt a policy
     that executive severance pay of over $1 million must be approved by the
     shareholders as a separate issue for vote at the annual shareholder
     meeting. Such a severance package must be tied to the performance of the
     company stock over the next 3 years. This should include all pay, current
     and deferred, and is not limited to cash, stock, options and benefits.'
 
     Supporting Statement:
 
     'Recent outcry against excessive executive compensation has included
     criticism of companies, such as Disney and Apple, which have awarded
     general severance packages. We believe that senior executives at
     AlliedSignal are already paid excessively, and shareholders should have the
     right to vote no on any additional severance packages.
 
     'In 1996 AlliedSignal CEO Lawrence Bossidy received a salary of $2,000,000,
     bonus of $2,800,000 and other annual compensation of $6,576, all other
     compensation $1,028,889. For example, has over $79 million in unexercised
     stock options. In September of this year, Mr. Bossidy made $12 million in
     personal profit in a single day by selling his stock.
 
     'In April 1997, Business Week compiled an Executive Compensation Scorecard,
     comparing compensation of top executives to both shareholder return and
     corporate profit with other industry peers. In both categories AlliedSignal
     scored a 5 (with 1 as the best possible score and 5 as the worst).
     AlliedSignal's score was in the worst 10% of its peers in terms what
     shareholders earn compared to the CEO pay package.
 
     'In addition to unnecessarily depleting the resources of the company, we
     believe that excessive executive compensation may have the larger effect of
     undermining productivity.
 
                                       21
 


<PAGE>
<PAGE>


     According to Business Week: `Researchers found that overpayment of CEOs,
     relative to industry norms and lower-echelon compensation, tends to harm
     management loyalty. The larger the gap between the CEO's pay and those in
     lower management levels, the higher the turnover among subordinates. While
     the study focused on higher management levels, [Charles] O'Reilly [of
     Stanford University] thinks the negative impact of outsize CEO compensation
     can hurt overall employee morale.' (October 13, 1997).
 
     'At last year's annual shareholder meeting, when questioned on his pay
     package, Bossidy responded, `CEO's do get paid a lot of money . . . and if
     someone is going to get it, why not me?' We do not believe that to be a
     valid argument.
 
     'For all of these reasons we urge you to vote FOR this proposal.'
 
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RECOMMENDATION -- THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE
SHAREOWNERS VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
 
     The Company's executive compensation programs are designed to attract and
retain highly qualified executives and motivate them to maximize shareowner
returns. These programs, which have been developed to be competitive with
compensation packages offered by other comparable employers, link a significant
portion of executive compensation to performance and to appreciation in the
price of the Common Stock.
 
     The Board of Directors oversees the compensation arrangements for the
Company's officers, primarily through the Management Development and
Compensation Committee of the Board (see the 'Report of the Management
Development and Compensation Committee' above). The Board recognizes its
responsibility to make executive compensation decisions in a manner it believes
to be in the best interest of the Company and its shareowners.
 
     The Company's severance program is intended to enhance the Company's
ability to attract the highest quality executives. These executives often must
relocate and forfeit significant bonus, stock and accumulated pension values
with their existing employers in order to join the Company. They generally are
unwilling to take such financial risks without some protection in the event that
their positions with the Company are adversely impacted by an unanticipated
change in circumstances. In addition, the severance program is intended to keep
executives focused and objective in dealing with Company matters, rather than
being distracted by the personal financial impact of their actions. With the
severance program, the Company's executives are provided with a degree of
financial protection that allows them to act decisively in maximizing shareowner
value.
 
     The Board believes the executive severance plan described above under
'Employment and Termination Arrangements' is appropriate to address these
concerns and is comparable to similar plans at other major companies. Placing an
arbitrary ceiling on the Board's ability to provide such payments to senior
executives may put the Company at a competitive disadvantage and unduly inhibit
the Company's flexibility in making hiring decisions. Further, the Board
believes the proposal would be impracticable because the timing of hiring and
termination decisions may not coincide with an annual shareowners' meeting.
 
     While the proposal relates to severance pay, the primary focus of the
supporting statement is on the compensation of Mr. Bossidy, who has led the
Company as Chief Executive Officer since
 
                                       22
 


<PAGE>
<PAGE>


mid-1991. During that period, the price of the Company's shares has appreciated
429%, compared with 161% for the S&P 500 and 171% for the Dow Jones Industrial
Average. The Company's market value has increased from $4 billion to $20
billion, and the $16 billion increase has accrued to the benefit of the
shareowners. Since 1991, net income has grown at a compound average annual rate
of more than 14%, operating margin has increased from 4.7% to 11.4%, and
productivity has increased by an average of 5.8% a year. Employee satisfaction,
as measured by an independent survey, has improved markedly. In addition, Mr.
Bossidy has led a change in the Company's business portfolio from cyclical
businesses to higher-margin, higher-growth businesses, which has put the Company
in a better position to achieve consistent and substantial earnings growth well
into the next century. The independent directors continue to believe that he is
compensated fairly, both in light of his superior contributions to the Company
and its shareowners and in comparison to chief executive officers of comparable
large companies.
 
     FOR THE REASONS STATED ABOVE, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE
AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL.

          'VOTE YES FOR RESOLUTION NO. 4: REINSTATE SIMPLE MAJORITY VOTE ON ALL
     ISSUES THAT CAN BE SUBMITTED TO SHAREHOLDER VOTE AND INCREASE MANAGEMENT
     ACCOUNTABILITY.'
 
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RECOMMENDATION -- THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE
SHAREOWNERS VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
 
     Most proposals submitted to a vote of the Company's shareowners, whether by
management or the shareowners, currently require a vote of a majority of the
shares represented at a meeting, whether in person or by proxy. Consistent with
applicable Delaware law, the Company's shareowners in 1985 approved a
Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws that contained provisions requiring the
vote of 80% of the outstanding shares for certain actions. These limited
provisions relate to the elimination of the classified Board of Directors,
removal of directors, the calling of special meetings of shareowners and the
requirement that shareowner action be taken at a meeting.
 
     These so-called 'super-majority' vote provisions of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws are intended to provide protection for
all shareowners against self-interested actions by one or a few large
shareowners. Similar provisions are included in the governing documents of many
public corporations. Such provisions are intended to encourage a person making
an unsolicited bid for the Company to negotiate with the Board of Directors to
reach terms that are fair and provide the best results for all shareowners.
Without such provisions, it may be possible for the holders of a majority of the
shares represented at a meeting to take actions that would give them effective
control of the Company without negotiating with the Board to achieve the best
results for the other shareowners.
 
     The proposal contains several citations to a May 1997 newspaper article,
implying that the Company has not met its supply commitments to Boeing. In fact,
the concerns noted in the article were prompted by the initial inability of the
Company, like other Boeing suppliers and Boeing itself, to keep pace with an
unprecedented worldwide market increase in aircraft production schedules. Since
that time, the Company has met Boeing's demands and the increase in rejection
rates and production past-dues cited in the article has been reversed. Further,
the Company has not been responsible for any missed shipments or scheduled
deliveries by Boeing or for any halt in its production lines.
 
                                       24
 


<PAGE>
<PAGE>


     Adoption of this proposal would not in itself effectuate the changes
contemplated by the proposal. Further action by the shareowners would be
required to amend the By-laws and the Certificate of Incorporation. Under these
documents, an 80% vote of the outstanding shares would be required for approval.
Under Delaware law, amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation require a
recommendation from the Board of Directors prior to submission to shareowners.
While the Board would consider such amendments, it would do so consistent with
its fiduciary duty to act in a manner it believes to be in the best interest of
the Company and its shareowners.
 
     FOR THE REASONS STATED ABOVE, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE
AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL.

     'To encourage directors to give more attention to these important issues,
     vote for ANNUAL ELECTION OF THE ENTIRE BOARD -- YES ON 5.'
 
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RECOMMENDATION -- THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE
SHAREOWNERS VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
 
     The Board believes that directors elected to a classified board are no less
accountable to shareowners than they would be if all directors were elected
annually. Since at least four directors must stand for election each year, the
shareowners have the opportunity annually to vote against those directors as a
way of expressing any dissatisfaction they may have with the Board or
management. The Board addresses many important issues during the year and it
disagrees with any suggestion by the proponent that its attention to these
issues is in any way affected by the timing of elections.
 
                                       26
 


<PAGE>
<PAGE>


     The Company's current system of electing directors by classes was approved
by the shareowners in 1985. Under this method, as provided in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, approximately one-third of the
directors are elected annually by the shareowners. For the reasons indicated
below, it is the Board's opinion that the classified Board serves the Company
and its shareowners well.
 
     With the classified Board, the likelihood of continuity and stability in
the Board's business strategies and policies is enhanced since generally
two-thirds of the directors at all times will have had prior experience and
familiarity with the business and affairs of the Company. This enables the
directors to build on past experience and plan for a reasonable period into the
future.
 
     The classified Board is intended to encourage persons who may seek to
acquire control of the Company to initiate such action through negotiations with
the Board. Otherwise, at least two meetings of shareowners would generally be
required to replace a majority of the Board. By reducing the threat of an abrupt
change in the composition of the entire Board, classification of directors would
provide the Board with an adequate opportunity to fulfill its duties to the
Company's shareowners to review any takeover proposal, study appropriate
alternatives and achieve the best results for all shareowners. The Board
believes that although a classified board enhances the ability to negotiate
favorable terms with a proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal, it
does not preclude takeover offers.
 
     Adoption of this proposal would not automatically eliminate the classified
Board. Further action by the shareowners would be required to amend the By-laws
and the Certificate of Incorporation. Under these documents, an 80% vote of the
outstanding shares would be required for approval. Under Delaware law, an
amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation requires a recommendation from the
Board of Directors prior to submission to shareowners. While the Board would
consider such an amendment, it would do so consistent with its fiduciary duty to
act in a manner it believes to be in the best interest of the Company and its
shareowners.
 
     FOR THE REASONS STATED ABOVE, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE
AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL.
 
                             ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
OTHER ACTION AT THE MEETING
 
     The Board of Directors was not aware within a reasonable time before this
solicitation of any other matter to be presented for action at the Annual
Meeting. If any additional matters are properly presented, the shares
represented by a properly signed proxy card will be voted in accordance with the
judgment of the persons named on the proxy card.
 
     Under the Company's By-laws, a shareowner of record entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting who intends to make a nomination for the election of directors at
the meeting must give the Secretary of the Company written notice of such
intention in accordance with the prescribed procedure. In general, the By-law
procedure (the full provisions of which govern) requires that the notice be
received at the Company's headquarters not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the meeting and that it set forth the shareowner's name, address and
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, together with information
about the candidate that would be
 
                                       27

required in a proxy statement and the candidate's written consent to be
nominated and to serve if elected. Nominations not made in accordance with the
procedure prescribed in the By-laws must be disregarded.
 
COST OF SOLICITATION
 
     The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company. In addition to
solicitation by mail, directors, officers and other employees of the Company may
solicit proxies personally or by telephone or other means of communication. The
Company will also reimburse brokers, banks and other intermediaries holding
stock in their names or those of their nominees for their reasonable expenses in
sending proxy material to the beneficial owners of the stock and obtaining their
proxies. The Company has retained Morrow & Co., New York, New York, at an
approximate total cost of $25,000, plus out-of-pocket expenses, to assist in the
solicitation of proxies by mail, personally or by telephone or other means of
communication.
 
SHAREOWNER PROPOSALS FOR 1999 ANNUAL MEETING
 
     Shareowners may submit proposals on matters appropriate for shareowner
action at the Company's annual meetings, consistent with regulations adopted by
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Proposals to be considered for inclusion
in the Proxy Statement for the 1999 Annual Meeting must be received by the
Company not later than November 10, 1998. Proposals should be directed to the
attention of the Secretary, AlliedSignal Inc., P.O. Box 4000, Morristown, New

LARRY BOSSIDY
Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer
 
                                                       March 10, 1998
 
Dear Plan Participant:
 
Thanks to the commitment and performance of AlliedSignal's employees, the
company recorded a 15% increase in earnings per share in 1997. It was the sixth
consecutive year that AlliedSignal delivered earnings growth of at least 15%.
The record of the past several years gives us confidence that AlliedSignal can
deliver consistent, substantial growth well into the future. After outperforming
the market averages in 1995 and 1996, the market performance of AlliedSignal
shares lagged the averages in 1997 but still rose by 16%. In addition, the
common stock dividend was raised again this year by 15%.
 
Enclosed is a meeting notice and proxy statement for the 1998 Annual Meeting of
Shareowners. As a plan participant, you are entitled to instruct the Trustee,
State Street Bank and Trust Company, how to vote the AlliedSignal shares
attributable to your plan account. The proxy statement includes the proposals to
be voted on, as well as the recommendations of the Board of Directors. A card
requesting your confidential voting instructions is enclosed for your use.
 
This is your opportunity to have the plan shares voted in accordance with your
wishes. All votes are important, and I urge you to exercise your right to vote
by completing the instruction card at your earliest convenience.
 
If you own AlliedSignal shares other than through the plans, you will receive a
separate proxy card for those shares. To vote all of your shares, you should
return your plan instruction card in the enclosed envelope to the Trustee, and 
return any proxy card you receive for other shares in the separate envelope
provided with that card.
 
I am grateful for your support as we continue to progress and move closer to
realizing our vision of becoming one of the world's premier companies.
 
                                                              Sincerely,


                                                              LARRY BOSSIDY
