Tsai said that a legislative commission of inquiry would only have the authority to request documents from relevant agencies, and would be unable to question individuals.

Chiou in response said that the Legislative Yuan could pass a special law that would enable the creation of a task force to investigate the assassination attempt as well as a commission of inquiry into the national security mechanism.

The negotiators did not discuss a date or location for the meeting between Chen, Lien and Soong.

The Central Election Commission is expected to present a certificate to the Presidential Office today confirming Chen's status as president-elect.
