"We have never deviated from our line of march toward the great goal of democracy and the rule of law ... However, the unfortunate incident at Kaohsiung late last year has shown the need for strengthening respect for the rule of law and for reviewing the attitude of some people toward political participation."
我們向來堅守民主法治的大方向，不論處境如何艱苦，政府仍然以厲行憲政為職志。但是，從去年年底所發生在高雄的不幸事件看來，有些人的法治觀念仍待加強，政治參與的態度也值得檢討。」
