Tech Execs Named to Internet Tax Review Panel

America Online Inc. President Robert Pittman and AT&T; Corp. Chairman C. Michael Armstrong were named by House Democratic leaders to a panel that will review federal policies on Internet taxation.

Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.), who named Armstrong, also tapped Cisco Systems Inc. Chief Financial Officer Larry Carter and Gateway Inc. Chairman Theodore Waitt.

The 19-member group, which will make recommendations to Congress in 2000, was created as part of a law that bans new taxes on Internet business for the next three years.
