Put on the agenda of the plenary meeting were such matters as the adoption of laws of the DPRK on protection of state secrets, management of railways, education of prodigies, loaning and national symbols and the review of the enforcement of the Law of the DPRK on Providing Living Conditions for Discharged Officers and supervision of it.

A report on the main contents of relevant draft laws deliberated on by the SPA Legislation Committee was made at the meeting.

The plenary meeting studied and examined the opinions on the drafts before adopting the above-said laws as a decree of the SPA Standing Committee.

Then, the plenary meeting reviewed the enforcement of the Law of the DPRK on Providing Living Conditions for Discharged Officers and supervision of it and adopted a decision of the Standing Committee of the SPA reflecting the practical measures for implementing the law thoroughly.

It stressed the need for the socialist law-observance guidance committees at all levels to conduct effective education in law observance through the newly-adopted laws and for the relevant organs to properly formulate and issue the regulations and rules for law enforcement as required by the law on legislation and thus legally guarantee the struggle for implementing the decisions of the Eighth Congress of the WPK and the Sixth Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the WPK.
