SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 [File No. 1-03671]


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of General Dynamics 
Corporation to Withdraw its Common Stock, $1.00 par value, from Listing 
and Registration on the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc.

July 21, 2005.
    On June 29, 2005, General Dynamics Corporation, a Delaware 
corporation (``Issuer''), filed an application with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'')\1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) 
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its common stock, $1.00 par value 
(``Security''), from listing and registration on the Chicago Stock 
Exchange, Inc. (``CHX'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Board of Directors (``the Board'') of the Issuer approved 
resolutions on May 4, 2005 to withdraw the Security from listing on 
CHX. The Issuer stated that the following reasons factored into the 
Board's decision to withdraw the Security from CHX: (i) The 
administrative burden of continued listing on CHX does not justify the 
Issuer's continued listing on such exchange; and (ii) the principal 
listing for the Security is the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. 
(``NYSE'') and the Security will continue to be listed on NYSE.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with 
applicable rules of CHX by providing CHX with the required documents 
governing the withdrawal of securities from listing and registration on 
CHX. The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Securities from listing on CHX and shall not affect its continued 
listing on NYSE or the Pacific Exchange, Inc., or its obligation to be 
registered under section 12(b) of the Act.\3\

accordance with the rules of CHX, and what terms, if any, should be 
imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors. All comment
