Ford Motor Mum On Fate Of CEO Alan Mulally

DETROIT (AP) - Ford's board of directors has ended a two-day quarterly meeting without issuing a public statement on the future of CEO Alan Mulally.

Microsoft Corp. is reportedly considering Mulally as a replacement for CEO Steve Ballmer, who is due to step down next year.

A spokesman said Ford couldn't comment on the board's discussions -- but there is no change in Mulally's plan to remain at Ford through at least the end of 2014.
