Exhibit 99.1

               STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER
       REGARDING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS


I, Don H. Davis, Jr., Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
Rockwell Automation, Inc., state and attest that:

(1) To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports of
Rockwell Automation, Inc. (formerly Rockwell International Corporation) and,
except as corrected or supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

     o   no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material fact as
         of the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a
         report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date on
         which it was filed); and

     o   no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to make
         the statements in the covered report, in light of the circumstances
         under which they were made, not misleading as of the end of the period
         covered by such report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or
         definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed).

(2) I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's audit
committee.

(3) In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or before
the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

     o   Annual Report on Form 10-K of Rockwell International Corporation
         (presently Rockwell Automation, Inc.) for the year ended September 30,
         2001;

     o   all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all definitive
         proxy materials of Rockwell International Corporation and Rockwell
         Automation, Inc. filed with the Commission subsequent to the filing of
         the Form 10-K identified above; and

     o   any amendments to any of the foregoing.
