WASHINGTON, June 20 (Reuters) - The Biden administration picked the chairman of Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL.O), John Hennessy, and four other technology industry experts to help with research-and-development of next generation computer chips, U.S. officials told Reuters. Hennessy and the selected individuals are set to be announced by the Commerce Department on Tuesday, according to the officials, who declined to be identified. They will be responsible for picking a board of trustees to run the National Semiconductor Technology Center. That public-private partnership was authorized to lead research on next-generation chips as part of last year's bipartisan $52.7 billion semiconductor manufacturing and research law, which also subsidizes new chip plants. The nonprofit board is expected make politically sensitive decisions, including where in the United States to locate the center's research facilities.
