Explanation:
I guess it′s 〞唉,是,是进行适度的改革〞。

My client thinks that it might be "还是", and I think the possibility is quite high. This text is a transcription, so the transcriber might have heard wrongly.

Angus' answer is probably correct too, so I'm giving the points to him. I hope this is okay.

implement an appropriate degree of reform


Explanation:
Isn't this explained in the parallel phrase after "shi4"? Unless it's totally critical that this be translated word-for-word, I would go with the expanded meaning as it is explained below the appearance of your unknown term.
