ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer of
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

   Re:  S-8 Registration Statement Defined Contribution Retirement Plan

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished in connection with the proposed filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 1995, of a Registration
Statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in
connection with the offering of 25,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $5 per
share (the _Shares_) to be issued under the Corporation's Defined Contribution
Retirement Plan (the _Plan_).

I have acted as Counsel to the Corporation in connection with certain matters
relating to the Plan.  I am familiar with the Corporate proceedings relating
thereto and have examined such documents and considered such matters of law as I
have deemed necessary in giving this opinion.

It is my opinion that all Shares to be offered and sold pursuant to the Plan
that will be purchased by the Plan Trustee in the open market and do not
constitute original issue Shares.  The Plan will be timely filed with the
Internal Revenue Service for a determination letter that the Plan constitutes a
_tax qualified_ Plan under the Internal Revenue Code and ERISA.  I hereby
consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the aforementioned
Registration Statement.

                          Very truly yours,



                          Richard M. Kaplan

              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Pension Administration
 and Investment Committee of
 United Technologies Corporation
 and Members of the United Technologies Corporation
 Defined Contribution Retirement Plan


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of financial
condition and the related statement of income and changes in
plan equity present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the United Technologies Corporation
Defined Contribution Retirement Plan at November 30, 1993
and 1992, and the results of its operations and the changes
in its plan equity for the year ended November 30, 1993, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan Administrator; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

(See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements) UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION DEFINED CONTRIBUTION RETIREMENT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN The United Technologies Corporation Defined Contribution Retirement Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution savings plan sponsored by United Technologies Corporation (United). The Plan became effective December 1, 1984. Membership in the Plan is offered to eligible employees of certain subsidiaries of United. The employer makes contributions with respect to each member of an amount up to 3.5 percent of the member's compensation. In addition, members may elect to contribute, through payroll deductions, between 1 and 9 percent of their total compensation with up to the first 4 percent of each member's contribution being matched 50 percent by the employer. Member contributions are fully vested at all times under the Plan. Generally, employer contributions become fully vested two years after first joining the Plan. All contributions are credited to a member account maintained by the Plan Administrator. Contributions are invested, pursuant to each member's direction, in one or both of the following funds: the Income Fund and the Equity Fund. Members may elect to have 100 percent of their contributions invested in one investment fund or may allocate the contributions in multiples of 25 percent between the two funds. Members are permitted to transfer their accounts between investment funds once per quarter (in multiples of 10 percent). The Income Fund is invested in contracts issued by five insurance companies designated by the Pension Investment Committee. Under these contracts, each insurance company guarantees repayment in full of the principal amount invested plus interest credited at a fixed rate for a specified period. Interest is credited to each contract based on an annual interest rate set each year by the individual insurance carriers. This rate, which differs among contracts, takes into account any difference between prior year credited interest and the actual amount of investment earnings allocable to the contract in accordance with the established allocation procedures of the insurance carrier. The weighted average rate set for the 1993 calendar year was 8.0 percent. The Equity Fund may be invested in common or capital stock of corporations, bonds or securities convertible into such stocks, or shares of any federally registered mutual fund or similar type of investment fund, including investment in any commingled trust fund managed by the Trustee, Bankers Trust Company, which is invested primarily in similar types of equity securities. During 1993 and 1992, the Equity Fund was invested principally in the Trustee's BT Pyramid Equity Index Fund, which is a portfolio of common stocks replicating the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 stocks. Interest and dividends earned by this investment are reinvested and increase market value. Forfeitures of employer contributions are used to reduce employer contributions; earned and unapplied forfeitures will be applied against future employer contributions and are shown separately in the Statement of Income and Changes in Plan Equity. Employees participating in the Plan at year end were as follows:
November 30, 1993 1992 Income Fund 652 565 Equity Fund 289 175 PAGE The participants above may have investments in more than one of the investment funds. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES United has entered into a master trust agreement with the Trustee. Under this agreement, certain employee savings plans of United and its subsidiaries combine their trust fund investments in the Master Trust. Participating plans purchase units of participation in the investment funds based on their monthly contribution to such funds and the unit value of the applicable investment fund at the end of the month. The value of a unit in each fund is determined at the end of each month by dividing the sum of uninvested cash, accrued income and the current market value of investments by the total number of outstanding units in such funds. The plans receive income from the funds' investments which increase the unit values. Distributions reduce the number of participation units held by the plans. The investments of the Income Fund are valued at cost plus accrued interest. The investments of the Equity Fund are valued at market as determined by the Trustee by reference to published market data. The expenses of operating the Plan are payable out of the funds held under the Plan, unless the employer elects to pay such expenses. The expenses for the 1993 plan year were paid by the employer. The Plan is not subject to federal income tax as the Plan and its related trust are considered by United to satisfy the qualification and exemption requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. United has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), dated in 1986, to the effect that the Plan, as amended in 1986, qualifies under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code. United intends to apply for a new determination letter from the IRS indicating that the Plan, as amended since the date of the most recent IRS determination letter, continues to be exempt from federal income taxes under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code. Under these sections, contributions by United, employees (at their election) and related earnings will be tax deferred until such amounts are distributed. It is expected, given the lack of substantive plan amendments, that a favorable determination will be issued from the IRS, and accordingly, no provision is made for federal income taxes. NOTE 3 - INSURANCE CONTRACTS The following is a summary of the insurance contracts held in the Master Trust Income Fund and the portion allocable to the Plan:
November 30, (Thousands of Dollars) 1993 1992 CIGNA $ 1,409,243 $ 1,327,089 Aetna 543,882 543,230 Travelers 455,988 465,195 Prudential 249,747 224,129 Metropolitan Life 328,543 219,295 2,987,403 $ 2,778,938 Amount of the contracts $ 4,018 $ 3,318 allocable to the Plan PAGE NOTE 4 - GAIN ON SALE OF INVESTMENTS The Trustee uses the average cost method in determining the cost of securities for purposes of calculating the gain or loss on the sale of securities. Gains and losses of the Master Trust funds are allocated to the participating plans based upon participation units at the month-end valuation date following the sale. The gains recognized by the Master Trust funds and amounts allocable to the Plan are as follows: (Thousands of Dollars) Equity Fund Proceeds from sale of $ 25,402 securities Cost basis of securities 14,898 sold Gain on sale $ 10,504 Amount of the gain $ 23 allocable to the Plan NOTE 5 - REQUESTED DISTRIBUTIONS The following is a summary of distributions requested by participants which had not yet been paid at the respective plan year end:
