                             EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
                             ---------------------

     On March 15, 1995, Martin Marietta Corporation ("Martin Marietta") and
Lockheed Corporation ("Lockheed") consummated the combination of the Lockheed
businesses with the businesses of Martin Marietta (the "Combination") on the
terms and conditions more fully described in Registration Statement No. 33-57645
on Form S-4 filed by Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin") with the
Commission on February 9, 1994.  As a result of the Combination, each share of
Martin Marietta common stock and each stock option outstanding under Martin
Marietta's employee benefit and compensatory plans was converted into the right
to receive one share of Lockheed Martin common stock or one Lockheed Martin
stock option, as the case may be, and each share of Lockheed common stock and
each stock option outstanding under Lockheed's employee benefit and compensatory
plans was converted into the right to receive 1.63 shares of Lockheed Martin
common stock or Lockheed Martin stock options, as the case may be.  In addition,
upon consummation of the Combination, each of Martin Marietta and Lockheed
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin.

     Shares previously registered by Martin Marietta for use in connection
with the Martin Marietta Corporation Savings and Investment Plan for Hourly
Employees (the "Plan") on Registration Statement No. 33-60476 on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") and not already issued will not be issued by Martin
Marietta and, pursuant to Martin Marietta's undertakings in the Registration
Statement, Martin Marietta files this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto to
remove from registration the shares of Martin Marietta common stock registered
thereunder which had not been issued as of closing of the Combination.

     Lockheed Martin has registered shares of its common stock to be issued in
conjunction with the Plan.
