The Wall Street Journal is reporting former AT&T CEO Edward Whitacre  
Jr. will take over ailing automaker General Motors later this summer  
after the company emerges from bankruptcy protection. Current GM  
interim Chairman Kent Kresa will remain at his post until later this  
summer.

Whitacre, 67, led AT&T and its predecessor companies through a series  
of mergers and acquisitions, including SBC's acquisition of AT&T in  
2005, which created the nation’s largest provider of local, long  
distance and wireless services. He was with the carrier and its  
predecessor companies from 1990 to 2007. He currently serves on the  
board of Exxon Mobil and Burlington Northern Santa Fe, reports CNBC.
