                    Gore's comments came during a busy tour of Silicon
                    Valley
                    for himself, Chernomyrdin, and their accompanying
                    entourage. The group landed at Moffett Field, visited
                    the
                    Lockheed Martin Missiles and Space facility in
                    Sunnyvale,
                    then ventured to the meeting at San Jose State.

                    Gore then whisked Chernomyrdin to the headquarters of
                    Cisco Systems for a private session with Silicon
                    Valley
                    execs chosen by TechNet, the lobbying brainchild of
                    venture capitalist John Doerr and Cisco (CSCO) CEO
                    John Chambers.

                    Tech heavyweights in attendance
                    Also scheduled to attend the session were investment
                    banker Sandy Robertson; Chuck Geschke, chairman of
                    Adobe Systems (ADBE); Lew Platt, chief executive of
                    Hewlett-Packard (HWP); Eric Schmidt, chief executive
                    of
                    Novell Inc. (NOVL); and Joe Kraus, co-founder of
                    Excite
                    (XCIT).

                    Cisco was chosen as the meeting place because while
                    Russians "have a zest for all things that relate to
                    technology," they need help with infrastructure, said
                    Sean
                    Garrett, spokesman for TechNet. "Cisco creates the
                    infrastructure for the Internet."

                    Gore, a frequent visitor to California in the past
                    month, was
                    to wind up the day at a $1,000-a-plate dinner in Los
                    Altos, Calif., for Sen. Barbara Boxer.
