             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
             ----------------------------------------

To the Trust Administrative Committee of the Teledyne Savings and Retirement
Supplement Plan:

   We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the Teledyne
Savings and Retirement Supplement Plan ("the Plan") as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related statement of changes in net assets for the year ended
December 31, 1995.  These financial statements and the data set forth in the
schedules of assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions
referred to below are the responsibility of the Trust Administrative Committee. 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and 
the data set forth in the schedules of assets held for investment purposes and
reportable transactions based on our audits.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets of the Plan as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

   Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The data set forth in the schedules of
assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions is presented for
the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department
of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  Such data has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                  -----------------------------


Note 1.  Accounting Policies -

   Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared on the accrual basis.

   Valuation of Investments - Investments in U.S. Government, Teledyne, Inc.
and corporate obligations are stated at current value, which is based on market
prices.  Commercial papers are stated at cost.

   Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, income and
expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.  Management believes that the estimates are reasonable.

Note 2.  Description -

   The Teledyne Savings and Retirement Supplement Plan ("the Plan") is a
defined contribution plan.  Effective October 31, 1994, the Plan no longer
accepts contributions or new enrollments.  Additionally, the Teledyne guarantee
of a minimum rate of return to each participant was discontinued as of
December 31, 1994.  The Plan was available to employees of eligible Teledyne
subsidiaries (primarily Teledyne Industries, Inc.) and divisions ("companies"). 
Investments of the Plan for 1995 were made by the Trustee, Bank of America NT &
SA, under the direction of the Trust Administrative Committee appointed by the
Executive Committee of Teledyne, Inc.'s Board of Directors. Effective January 1,
1996, investments of the Plan will be made by the newly appointed Trustee, BNY
Western Trust Company under the same direction as before.  A more detailed
description of Plan provisions is found in the formal Plan documents and in
summary materials distributed to participants.

Note 6.  Federal Income Tax Status -

   The Plan is qualified for favorable tax treatment under Section 401(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code.  On April 2, 1996 the Plan received a favorable 
determination letter from the IRS.  The trust fund, which holds the investments
of the Plan, is a tax-exempt trust under Section 501.

   Under present Federal income tax statutes, regulations and interpretations,
participants pay no income taxes on amounts accumulated in the Plan until those
amounts are actually received.  Basic and Regular Voluntary Contributions are 
not subject to income tax when distributed to the participant since they have 
already been taxed.  A participant's account balance (except for Basic and 
Regular Voluntary Contributions) is taxable income, generally taxed at ordinary
income tax rates; however, favorable tax treatment may apply.  A 10 percent 
Federal income tax penalty is imposed on all taxable income distributed to a 
participant before the age of 59 1/2, except in cases of termination of 
employment when the distribution is rolled over, a payment under a qualified 
domestic relations order, disability or death.
