Senator Hatch is leading the GOP High Tech Task Force -- a group dedicated to supporting America's important technology sector:
Republican leaders have named Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch chairman of the High Tech Task Force, a 12-member GOP group that focuses on technology issues.
"I'm confident Sen. Hatch will lead the Senate Republican High Tech Task Force to support American innovators, expand technological advances to rural areas and create good jobs here at home," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Hatch, who has been on the task force for some time, will serve as chairman for the next two years. It was created in 1999 to boost discussions between Republican senators and tech-industry representatives.
