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 registration
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
registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed 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.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will submit
or has submitted the Savings-Investment Plan of The Pittston Company
and Its Subsidiaries (the "Plan") and any amendment thereto to the
Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") in a timely manner and will make
all changes required by the IRS in order to qualify the Plan.
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 indemnification 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.

Stamford, CT 06912
Dear Sirs:
In my capacity as Assistant General Counsel of The Pittston
Company (the "Company"), I am familiar with The Savings-Investment
Plan of The Pittston Company and Its Subsidiaries (the "Plan"), 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 Brink's Group Common Stock, par value
$1.00 per share ("Brink's Stock"), Pittston Burlington Group Common
Stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Burlington 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 Brink's Stock, Burlington Stock and Minerals Stock will, when sold
in accordance with the Plan (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,
/s/ PETER LATERZA
