4. Do recognize that the US Supreme Court has held that not all of the guarantees in the “Bill of Rights” apply to native people living in overseas territories of the USA. 請瞭解美國最高法院，一直認為美國憲法的所謂「權利法案」，不是全盤適用於海外領土或佔領地。
理由：美國憲法修正案第一條到第十條內容，是涉及人權保障。通稱為「權利法案」。不過，美國最高法院的大法官並不認為「權利法案」的所有條文，都是住在美國海外領土的居民，可以主張的基本人權權利。
5. Do understand that TCG will strive to promote an equitable tax system in Taiwan. 請瞭解TCG在台灣要推動公平合理的稅制。
說明：At the most basic level, TCG believes that all commercial activities should pay taxes. Sales to consumers should be taxed at the point of sale. All efforts should be made to eliminate “underground economic activity.”基本上，TCG認為營業活動應該課營業稅。凡是賣東西給消費者，賣售的當場要給〔包含稅金的〕發票。一切所謂「地下經濟」應給於取締。
6. Do undertake all efforts to eliminate the practice of “false identities.”
請推動一切所須「取締假冒身份」之相關工作。
說明：There are many fake, bogus, sham, counterfeit, and fictitious activities in Taiwan. “Bogus farmers” are registered as farmers and receive certain government benefits, but actually do not do any farming. “Bogus fishermen” are registered with the government and receive certain government benefits, but actually don’t catch any fish. 台灣充滿了享受政府優惠與好處的各種假冒身份人士。例如，「假農民」不耕田，「假漁民」不捕魚。Additionally there is the widespread practice of “renting professional licenses,” which results in unqualified practitioners of all types of professional activities (including doctors, pharmacists, architects, etc.) in all corners of society. 再者，台灣很多行業有「出租執照」的習慣與風氣，使的缺乏相關資格的人士仍然可以執行各種業務和職業。Such practices are illegal and should be eliminated. 凡是涉及假冒身份者應屬於違法，也應給於取締。
7. Do understand that Taiwan will not have “military conscription,” however a system of “community service” will most likely be implemented.
國防是美國聯邦政府的責任，但台灣將設置社區服務制度。
說明：國際法中，佔領區是不得有「徵兵制度」，台灣地區可以社區服務〔和社區勞役〕代替兵役制度，同時也能讓年輕人「認識台灣」，達到「關心台灣」和「愛護台灣」的境界。
8. Do recognize the importance of the terms “military government,” “insular,” and “undetermined.” 請確實瞭解「軍政府」、「列島」與「未確定」之意義。Please see the following sentences and explanations.
SENTENCE #1 – Taiwan is under United States Military Government. 台灣處於USMG管轄下。
Comments: Military government is the form of administration by which an occupying power exercises governmental authority over occupied territory. 所謂「軍政府」係軍事佔領當局，執行佔領地管轄任務的政府體系。Hence, TCG is under USMG.. 因此，台灣民政府是在USMG管轄下。
SENTENCE #2 -- Taiwan’s final political status remains as undetermined. 台灣的最終政治地位係未確定。
Comments: Military occupation is considered a transitional period, or a period of interim (political) status. 佔領昰一種過渡時期或暫定狀態。During this period of time, Taiwan is not an independent sovereign nation, nor is it a part of the United States of America. 在這一段時間，台灣並非主權獨立的國家，亦非美國之一部分。However, these facts do not affect the legality of TCG’s governance over Taiwan. 但是，這些情況並不影響TCG治理台灣的合法性，台灣民政府是根據戰爭法、國際法成立的合法組織。
9. Do recognize the concept of “native Taiwanese people or the people of Taiwan”
請瞭解「本土台灣人」的觀念。
說明： Native Taiwanese people (or “the people of Taiwan” or “island citizens of Taiwan”) are defined as persons meeting the following criteria: (1) native to the areas of “Formosa and the Pescadores” as of the Fall of 1945, and their descendants up to the present day, and (2) currently maintaining household registration in the Taiwan area. 本土台灣人〔或稱「台澎島之公民」〕的定義：在1945年8月15日之時點確實屬於台澎地區之本地人，以及其後裔一直到今日。
註：In Asian areas, “citizenship” is traditionally transferred by blood lines, and the fact of “birth inside the territorial jurisdiction” is not recognized as conferring citizenship. TCG believes it is most likely that Taiwan will maintain such a citizenship recognition in its legal structure. 亞洲地區傳統上，所謂「國籍」，是因為血緣關係而獲得，對於僅在國家〔地區〕領土內出生之異國人士之嬰兒，不給於「國籍」身份。TCG認為台灣將來也會繼續運用此血緣關係為標準。
10. Do recognize that Taiwan will probably adopt a multi-faceted free educational system.
請瞭解台灣將來會建立一個多元化的完全免費教育制度和教育環境。
說明： In the future in Taiwan, it is expected that some educational institutions will follow Dept. of Education policies & guidelines, some will follow their own policies & guidelines (in order to be more attuned to the “employment marketplace”), some will adopt an “apprentice” type educational model, etc. 依據最新教育理念，無論幼稚園、小學、中學、高中、職業學校、大專院校等在台灣將來都可已有自由地選擇，不須按照教育部各項規定，要面對就業市場需要自行擬定課程。職業學校可以採用「學徒制」。而這些教育項目全部都是免費。
11. Do recognize that refugee and asylum matters are the responsibility of the US federal government, and not the responsibility of TCG..
請確實瞭解，有關「難民」與「政治庇護」問題，這是美國聯邦政府事務，並非TCG要規範的任務。說明：在美國管轄下之領土獲得「難民」或「政治庇護」身份，必須向美國移民局〔USCIS〕提出I-590表格與其他文件。這個手續與台灣境內之移民政策完全無關。
12. Do recognize that the recognition of Taiwan’s status under the SFPT does not violate the three PRC-USA Joint Communiques.
台灣國際地位，按照舊金山和平條約的內容可以釐清為「日本天皇所有和美國之佔領地」。請瞭解，此種情況是完全符合中美三個雙邊公報、一個中國政策和台灣關係法的精神。
說明：The Aug. 17, 1982 Communique stated: “Respect for each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and non-interference in each other's internal affairs constitute the fundamental principles guiding United States China relations.” 1982年8月17日之中美公報指出：「互相尊重主權和領土完整、互不干涉內政是指導中美關係的根本原則。」 As we know, Taiwan has never been a part of the PRC, so the recognition of Taiwan as US occupied territory (according to the specifications of the SFPT) is not in violation of the specifications of the Joint Communiques. 眾所皆知，台灣從未併入中國領土。是故，台灣做為日本天皇所有權下和美國管轄下之佔領領土的事實，並不涉及中國之「內政」或中國領土之「完整性」。
