    PENSION LAW DISPUTE 
    Opposition parties criticise the Chairman of Parliament, 
Pavol Paska, for ordering his legislative department to edit out 
a part of a new law on the pension system. Deputies last week 
approved two opposing versions of a key part of the law, and 
Paska ordered to leave out the part proposed by the opposition. 
He has since cancelled the order and said it would send the 
original draft to president for assessment.
