Prime Minister calls for the President to show his hand in screening discussion

Last week Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek asked President Aleksander Kwasniewski to make all their correspondences concerning explanations of the State Security Office's (UOP) actions regarding Kwasniewski's screening public. Buzek says his last letter answers all the President's questions. But Kwasniewski argued that the letter did not answer all the questions and asked more. He wanted to know who is responsible for sending materials concerning him to the Screening Court at the last moment, why in materials sent there was so much information not concerning the screening process, and why the UOP assessed these materials. According to the Prime Minister, the discussions about UOP actions has been sent to the Sejm Special Services Commission. On Thursday the Commission is supposed to check once again whether the UOP exceeded its mandate in the screening of the President. The President's response to the Prime Minister's proposal is not yet known. (Gazeta Wyborcza, page 6)
