WASHINGTON--President Bush tapped venture capitalist Floyd Kvamme on Wednesday as the liaison between the high-tech community and the Bush administration.

Kvamme, a partner at Kleiner Perkins, will be co-chairman of the newly created Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

At the summit, Bush asked the 150 high-tech leaders present to support his tax cut and budget proposals by e-mailing their senators, and said the government owed something to the high-tech community for fueling the economy during its boom. --Patrick Ross, Special to ZDNet News
