The answer is "No". So the statement made to this committee - a throwaway statement that the Commission is asking us to collect tax on Apple's worldwide profits - is false. The accurate statement is that the Commission is asking us to tax the profits that are recorded by Apple of sales that happen outside of the Americas. Would that not be a more accurate statement?
