RAYTHEON COMPANY
PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To Be Held May 25, 1994
This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy are being furnished in
connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of
Raytheon Company (the "Company") from holders of the Company's common
stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Common Stock"), for use at the Annual
Meeting of Stockholders to be held May 25, 1994, and at any adjournment
thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice. The
Company will bear all costs relating to the solicitation of proxies from
its stockholders. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, the Company's
officers and employees, without receiving additional compensation, may
solicit proxies by telephone, by telegram or in person. The Company will
reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries
for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in sending the
proxy materials to beneficial owners of Common Stock.
This Proxy Statement is first being sent to stockholders on or about
April 19, 1994.
All shares of Common Stock represented by properly signed and dated
proxies received by the Company prior to the meeting will, unless such
proxies have been revoked, be voted in accordance with the instructions on
such proxies. If no instruction is indicated, the shares will be voted FOR
the election of the four nominees for director listed in this Proxy
Statement and, in the discretion of the persons named in the proxy, on
such other matters as may properly come before the meeting. Any
stockholder who has given a proxy may revoke such proxy at any time before
it is voted at the Annual Meeting by delivering to the Secretary written
notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by
attending the meeting and voting in person.
If a stockholder is a participant in the Company's Stock Ownership
Plan or Savings and Investment Plan, the proxy will represent the number
of shares allocated to the participant's account under the plan(s). For
those shares held in the plans, the proxy will serve as a direction to the
plan trustee as to how the shares are to be voted.
All votes, whether by proxy or ballot, will be tabulated by an
independent business entity, which will not disclose the vote of any
stockholder except as is (i) required by law, (ii) necessary in connection
with a judicial or regulatory action or proceeding, (iii) necessary in
connection with a contested proxy or consent solicitation, or (iv)
requested by the stockholder casting such vote. Any comment written on a
proxy card will be provided to the Secretary without disclosing the
stockholder's vote unless necessary to an understanding of the comment.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will be tabulated in determining the
presence of a quorum, but will be treated as votes withheld with respect
to matters submitted to a vote.<PAGE>

BOARD COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Company's executive compensation programs are developed and
reviewed by the Compensation and Policy Committees of the Board of
Directors. These programs align executive compensation with the Company's
business strategy and management initiatives and are intended to attract,
retain, motivate and reward executive managers of a caliber and level of
experience necessary to achieve the performance objectives of the Company.
The Board of Directors supports an integrated performance-oriented
compensation program that balances short- and long-term objectives to
maximize the value of the Company to its stockholders, and that puts
Company executives in a responsible competitive range of total
compensation, considering both the magnitude of business operations and
Company performance.
The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board of
Directors with respect to base salary and makes bonus and long-term
incentive awards other than stock option awards under the Option Plan. The
Policy Committee makes stock option awards under the Option Plan. Both
committees work with the Company's independent compensation consultant,
Coopers & Lybrand, which provides information regarding current industry
and marketplace compensation data and practices.
Individual compensation awards are established based upon the
contribution the executive has made in attaining the Company's short-term
and strategic performance objectives as well as the executive's anticipated
future contribution. While earnings performance of the Company and its
constituent business units is of paramount significance in compensation
awards, the Committees are mindful of rewarding and encouraging executives
who are able to protect and further the Company's interests in the
drastically contracting defense industry environment and to promote and
further the Company's goals to diversify defense technologies and
strengthen its established non-defense businesses. Further, the Committees
take into consideration the attainment of global and long-term objectives
of the Company that may not be reflected in the current period's earnings<PAGE>
PAGE 14
performance. The Company's executive compensation programs consist
primarily of the following integrated components:
Base Salary -- which is designed to compensate executives
competitively within the industry and marketplace.
Bonus Awards -- which provide a direct link between executive
compensation and the Company's performance.
Long-Term Incentives -- which consist of stock options and restricted
stock awards that link management decision making with long-term Company
performance and stockholder interests.
Base Salary. Base salary levels for the Chief Executive Officer
("CEO") and other executive officers of the Company are reviewed annually
by the Compensation Committee. The Committee's policy has been and
continues to be to maintain base salary levels based upon competitive
analyses compiled by the Company's independent compensation consultant.
The Company's compensation peer group includes the twenty-five Fortune 500
companies that rank immediately above and the twenty-five that rank
immediately below the Company on the basis of annual revenues as well as
most, though not all, of the companies represented in the peer group index
in the Comparison of Five Year Cumulative Total Return graph included in
this Proxy Statement.
Bonuses. All executive officers, including the CEO, participate in a
Management Incentive Plan, which compensates officers in the form of annual
cash bonuses. The Compensation Committee recommends the appropriation of
funds from operating revenues of the current year for purposes of
establishing an executive bonus pool. The size of the pool is based on the
Company's overall performance, as reflected by growth in earnings per share
and net income. The 1993 pool increased 2.9% over the 1992 pool, while
1993 earnings per share and net income increased 8% and 9%, respectively,
compared to the prior year. Individual awards reflect an executive
officer's contribution to the Company's performance. In the case of
operating executives, the primary performance criterion is the earnings
performance of the executive's business unit compared to the prior period
and the unit's business plan. In the case of senior staff executives, the
primary criteria are the effective performance of the staff function and
the executive's contribution to the overall management of the Company.
Consideration is also given to the executive officer's contribution towards
improvement in return on assets and long-term profitability and on
improving performance in such areas as technical achievement, on-time
deliveries, timely proposal submissions, improved billing and collection
practices, subcontractor control, and efficient personnel management.
Long-Term Incentives
Stock option grants, the Company's principal vehicle for payment of
long-term compensation, are made by the Policy Committee under the Option
Plan or the Compensation Committee under the Company's 1991 Stock Plan (the
"Stock Plan"). Similar to the process used in making annual base salary<PAGE>
PAGE 15
and bonus recommendations, option awards are based upon surveys of current
industry and marketplace compensation data. Award recommendations are made
on the basis of an executive's level of responsibility, value to the
organization and, in the case of operating executives, the organization's
earnings and sales performance, or, in the case of staff executives,
effective performance of the staff function and contribution to the overall
management of the Company. The size of each executive's award is
determined by considering prior awards and industry and marketplace
practices and norms for comparable positions. Equitable distribution
within the Company is also considered. Options are granted at the then
prevailing market value.
The Board of Directors believes that the grant of stock options
encourages executive officers to manage the Company from the perspective of
an owner with an equity stake in the business. As the value of the Company
increases over time, the value of the shares of stock underlying the
options granted to each of the executive officers increases, providing a
strong incentive for executive officers to maximize stockholder value over
time. Participation in the Option Plan and Stock Plan is not limited to
executive officers but extends to a broad range of key managers of the
Company. The Option Plan and Stock Plan have been approved by the
Company's stockholders.
Restricted stock awards are made by the Compensation Committee under
the Stock Plan. The Board of Directors believes that the award of
restricted stock encourages executive officers to manage the Company from
the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business.
Restricted stock awards also balance the short-term emphasis of annual
bonuses by providing a long-term incentive as the executive officer cannot
freely sell the restricted stock until the expiration of a period of time
(usually seven years) after the award is made. In addition, restricted
stock awards serve as a strong device for retaining managers, as a manager
who leaves the Company forfeits the unvested portion of the award.
CEO Compensation. Consistent with the determination of compensation
levels for other executive officers, the CEO's compensation is based upon
an assessment of industry and marketplace norms. In addition to its
assessment of industry and marketplace norms, the Compensation and Policy
Committees considered the following criteria in determining the CEO's 1993
bonus and stock option awards: improvement in the Company's earnings,
stock price and price-earnings ratio; the Company's solid performance
despite significant defense industry spending cuts and a weak economy; the
CEO's strong leadership in transitioning the Company to a more profitable
commercial base, and taking in a timely fashion the cost reduction and
downsizing actions necessary to stay competitive in the defense industry;
the Company's successful acquisition of the Corporate Jets business and
Ebasco Services, Inc., as well as the CEO's leadership qualities and high
work ethic.
Other Compensation. The Company's compensation programs also include
certain other minor items, which may include: (i) life insurance coverage,
(ii) an allocation of Company stock under the Raytheon Stock Ownership<PAGE>
PAGE 16
Plan, (iii) matching contributions under the Raytheon Savings and
Investment Plan, and (iv) other miscellaneous compensation.
The Committee has carefully studied the newly enacted provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code which limit the deductibility of executive
compensation in excess of $1 million. The interpretative regulations
proposed by the Internal Revenue Service at the end of 1993 leave many
unresolved questions about the operation of the new law. The Committee has
concluded that it would be unwise to adopt hastily a plan that might limit
its effectiveness and would have to be amended to reflect additional
guidance which should be forthcoming from the IRS. In any event, the
Company will not suffer any loss of tax deductions under the new law for
the 1994 tax year, as the only two executive officers whose non-performance
based income may exceed $1 million have elected to defer until retirement
any bonuses earned for services during 1994.

PENSION PLAN
The Company's salaried pension plan covers all salaried employees,
excluding those at certain subsidiaries, who have completed one year of
service and attained age 21. The plan is Company funded and does not
require or permit employee contributions. Benefits are computed by a
formula which takes into account an employee's years of service and plan
membership, final average compensation and an estimated primary Social
Security benefit. From time to time, an enhanced pension benefit is
provided to an individual as an inducement to join the Company. Such<PAGE>
PAGE 18
benefit is covered by the non-funded plan described below.
The following table shows the estimated annual retirement benefits
payable to salaried employees on normal retirement at age 65:

1,500,000 405,000 540,000 720,000 900,000
(1) Under the plan formula, the amounts in the table will be reduced by a
percentage of the employee's estimated primary Social Security
benefit.
(2) Messrs. Hoffmann, Picard, Rutstein and Swanson would, at the normal
retirement age of 65, have benefits based upon 18, 41, 40 and 41 years
of credit, respectively. Their expected pension benefits at age 65 are
determinable under the formula illustrated by the table. As an
inducement to join the Company, Mr. Bleck was granted an enhanced
pension benefit. At normal retirement age, Mr. Bleck would have
received benefits based upon approximately 15 years of plan credit.
(3) The remuneration covered by the Plan includes base pay, bonuses and
commissions for Messrs. Bleck, Hoffmann, Picard, Rutstein and Swanson,
which is substantially the same as reported as salary and bonus in the
Summary Compensation Table.
(4) Pensions shown in the above table are straight-life annuity amounts.
Amounts in excess of $115,641 annually and amounts based on annual
salary in excess of $235,840 may be subject to reduction because of the
annual pension benefit limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended; however, the extent of any reduction will vary in
individual cases according to circumstances existing at time of retirement.
Amounts that otherwise would have been payable under the Company's salaried
pension plan in excess of such limitations will be provided under an excess
benefit plan, a separate non-funded plan adopted by the Board of Directors
in 1980.<PAGE>
