Mr. President, I wish to ask the Senator from North Dakota a question. I guess I will ask the question through the Chair. Mr. President, I wonder if the Senator from North Dakota would tell me where in this bill--and I have read it--a State would have the authority to audit and bring enforcement action against a remote seller in any other country, such as China. Where in this bill does the State of North Dakota have the taxing authority to go to a remote seller in China that is selling goods in North Dakota? Where in the bill does it say that? What is the language in the bill which allows any State to bring enforcement action against a remote seller in any other country?
