> (1) INTERNET TAXATION: A copy of our new Backgrounder entitled, "The NGA's
> Misguided Plan to Tax the Internet and Create a New National Sales Tax," can
> be downloaded from the following link:

> [Note: Heritage also recently participated in a STATE TAX NOTES in-print
> debate with the National Governors' Association regarding the merits of an
> origin-based system of sales tax collection versus the NGA's proposed
> system. If you are interested in a copy of this 12-page debate, feel free to
> contact me via e-mail or phone (202-608-6214) and I will send you one.]
>
> (2) DIGITAL DIVIDE: Heritage has also recently released a short Executive
> Memorandum entitled, "Digital Divide or Digital Deluge of Opportunity,"
> which addresses some of the myths surrounding the current debate over the
> so-called "digital divide." A copy of the paper can be found at:
