Item 8.01. Other Events.

Lockheed Martin Corporation proposes to amend two internal corporate policy statements (CPS-704 and CPS-730), related to international consultants and procedures for complying with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), effective as of May 7, 2007. This is a routine amendment to update the Corporation’s internal procedures for FCPA compliance.

In 1976, Lockheed Corporation (then known as Lockheed Aircraft Corporation) agreed to a consent order with the Securities Exchange Commission in which it, among other things, agreed to file a Current Report on Form 8-K at least 10 days prior to the proposed effectiveness of any amendment to its policy statement and procedures for complying with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Consistent with past practice, Lockheed Martin is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K on behalf of its former subsidiary, Lockheed Corporation, and has included as exhibits to this filing CPS-704 and CPS-730, as proposed to be amended effective as of May 7, 2007.
