      This Amendment No. 7 to the statement on Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends and restates, in its entirety, the information previously provided by Sidney Harman (the “Reporting Person”), regarding his beneficial ownership of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Harman International Industries, Incorporated (the “Issuer”). The Reporting Person has previously reported his beneficial ownership of Common Stock in an initial statement on Schedule 13D, dated November 9, 1993, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated May 4, 1995; Amendment No. 2 thereto dated August 16, 1995; Amendment No. 3 thereto dated May 6, 1996; Amendment No. 4 thereto dated May 7, 1996; Amendment No. 5 thereto dated May 21, 1996; and Amendment No. 6 thereto dated November 12, 2001.

      The item numbers and responses thereto below are in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 13D.

      This Amendment relates to the Issuer’s Common Stock. The Issuer’s principal executive office is located at 1101 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 1010, Washington D.C. 20004.

      (d) and (e): The Reporting Person has not, during the last five years, been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of a competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or it subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation of such laws.

      The Reporting Person acquired the shares of Common Stock with personal funds. From time to time, the Reporting Person may acquire additional shares of Common Stock by, among other things, exercising options to acquire Common Stock that have been granted to him or that are granted to him under the Issuer’s incentive compensation plans after the date of this filing. Under certain of these plans, the Reporting Person is permitted to pay the aggregate exercise price of stock options granted to him, and/or any required tax withholdings, by either (i) delivering shares of Common Stock to the Issuer and/or (ii) requesting the Issuer to withhold shares of Common Stock with a fair market value equal to such exercise price and/or tax withholding, as appropriate.

      The Reporting Person acquired and holds the Common Stock for investment purposes. From time to time, the Reporting Person may acquire and dispose of additional securities of the Issuer in open market or privately negotiated transactions or through the exercise of stock options. In determining whether to effect any of such transactions, the Reporting Person may consider various factors, including his financial and estate planning requirements, and general economic or market conditions.

      Except as stated above, the Reporting Person has no current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions listed in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D (although the Reporting Person reserves the right to formulate and propose any such plans or proposals in the future).

      The Reporting Person shares dispositive power with respect to 154,416 shares of Common Stock as co-trustee of an irrevocable trust for various family members. The other co-trustee is the Reporting Person’s spouse.

      The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of 342,748 shares of Common Stock as to which he has been granted sole voting power pursuant to revocable proxies from three of his adult children, his two adult stepchildren, and a trust controlled by another of his adult children (see “Item 6 — Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationship with Respect to Securities of the Issuer” below).

      (c) On April 27, 2005 the Reporting Person exercised options to purchase 630,000 shares of Common Stock. In connection with such option exercise, the Reporting Person delivered 280,010 shares of Common Stock (at a price of $79.60 per share) to the Issuer as payment of the exercise price and required tax withholdings. Also in connection with such option exercise, on May 4, 2005 the Reporting Person delivered 56,000 shares of Common Stock (at a price of $76.20 per share) to the Issuer to satisfy federal tax obligations in excess of the minimum statutory withholding amount. There have been no other transactions in Common Stock by the Reporting Person during the 60 days preceding the date of the filing of this Amendment.

      (d) Each of three adult children of the Reporting Person, his two adult stepchildren, and a trust controlled by another of his adult children have granted revocable proxies to the Reporting Person but retain the right to receive and direct the receipt of dividends from, and the proceeds from the sale of, shares of Common Stock subject to the proxies.

      (e) Not Applicable

      In April 2001, the Reporting Person obtained voting power with respect to 186,225 shares of Common Stock pursuant to revocable proxies (the “2001 Proxies”) granted to the Reporting Person by three of his adult children, his two adult stepchildren, and a trust controlled by another of his adult children. The 2001 Proxies replace similar proxies previously granted to the Reporting Person which were about to expire.

      In May of 2003, a trust for the benefit of the two adult stepchildren of the Reporting Person, and of which the Reporting Person was a co-trustee, terminated. As a result, a total of 45,786 shares of Common Stock were distributed to such stepchildren. At that time, each stepchild granted a revocable voting proxy (the “2003 Proxies” and together with the 2001 Proxies the “Proxies”) to the Reporting Person.

      The agreements under which the Reporting Person was granted the Proxies are filed as exhibits in response to Item 7 of this Amendment. The terms and conditions of the Proxies are incorporated herein by reference.

      The Proxies granted to the Reporting Person are attached hereto as Exhibits 1 through 6.
