DETROIT, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Interim General Motors Chief Executive Officer Edward Whitacre Jr. has suggested his temporary assignment at the U.S. automaker may last as long as a year.
Whitacre, who is also the company's chairman, told GM employees a search to find a replacement for CEO Fritz Henderson, who resigned abruptly Tuesday, would be successful if it took as long as a year to find the right person, The Detroit News reported Thursday.
