PART II INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference. The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") by The Pittston Company ("Pittston" or the "Company") are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof: (i) The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993; and (ii) The current Reports on Form 8-K dated January 14, 1994, and March 16, 1994. In addition, any and all documents filed by Pittston pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof, and prior to the filing of a post- effective amendment to this registration statement which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. A description of the securities to be offered is incorporated by reference herein from Item 1 of Pittston's registration statement on Form 8-A dated June 16, 1993 (Commission File No. 1-9148). Also incorporated by reference herein is Pittston's registration statement on Form S-8, as filed with the Commission on July 27, 1988 (No. 33-23333), as amended, relating to the 1988 Stock Option Plan. Item 4. Description of Securities. The securities to be offered pursuant to this registration statement have been registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. See Item 3. - Incorporation of Documents by Reference. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. Not applicable. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Information relating to indemnification of directors and officers is incorporated by reference herein from Item 20 of Pittston's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 33-63852). Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed. As no restricted securities are to be reoffered or resold pursuant to this registration statement, this item is inappli- cable. Item 8. Exhibits. The exhibits required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K and this item are included following the Exhibit Index at Page 6 hereof. 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 regis- tration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"); (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post- effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the regis- tration statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously dis- closed 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, 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, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indem- nification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Pittston Company
100 First Stamford Place
Stamford, CT  06912

Dear Sirs:

                In my capacity as Assistant General Counsel
of The Pittston Company (the "Company"), I am familiar
with the 1994 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Key
Employees' Deferred Compensation Program and the 1988
Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated (the
"Plans"), and have examined originals or copies of such
documents and corporate records as I have deemed
necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.

                I have also participated in the preparation
of the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8
(the "Registration Statement") relating to shares of
Pittston Services Group Common Stock, par value $1.00
per share (the "Services Stock"), and Pittston Minerals
Group Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share
("Minerals Stock").

                Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion
that such shares of Services Stock and Minerals Stock
will, when sold in accordance with the Plans (assuming
that, at the time of such issuance, the Company has a
sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares
available therefor), be legally issued and fully paid
and nonassessable.

                I hereby consent to the use of this opinion
in connection with the Registration Statement referred
to above.

                                 Very truly yours,

                                 PETER LATERZA


Exhibit 23.2




CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

appearing in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of The Pittston

Our reports refer to a change in the method of accounting for
capitalizing subscriber installation costs in 1992 and changes in
the methods of accounting for postretirement benefits other than
pensions and accounting for income taxes in 1991.
