WASHINGTON--As two huge media mergers await action, Charles A. James caught some people by surprise last week by announcing he'll step down as chief of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division later this year.
James, who joined Justice on June 14, 2001, is resigning to join Chevron Texaco Corp. as vice president and general counsel. The San Francisco-based oil giant said James, 48, is to assume his post on Dec. 9.
James is reviewing the proposed merger of direct-broadcast satellite providers EchoStar Communications Corp. and DirecTV Inc. parent Hughes Electronics Corp., and the separate merger between cable operators AT&T Broadband and Comcast Corp.
