By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Establishment. I hereby establish within the 
                Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a Transition 
                Planning Office for the Department of Homeland Security 
                (the ``Transition Planning Office''), to be headed by 
                the Director of the Transition Planning Office for the 
                Department of Homeland Security (the ``Director for 
                Transition Planning'').

                Sec. 2. Missions. The missions of the Transition 
                Planning Office shall be to:

                    (a) coordinate, guide, and conduct transition and 
                related planning throughout the executive branch of the 
                United States Government in preparation for 
                establishment of the proposed Department of Homeland 
                Security; and
                    (b) consistent with Presidential guidance, work 
                with the Congress as it considers legislation to 
                establish that Department.

                Sec. 3. Administration. (a) The Director of OMB shall 
                ensure that the Transition Planning Office receives 
                appropriate personnel (including detailees and 
                assignees, as appropriate), funding, and administrative 
                support for the Office, subject to the availability of 
                appropriations. The Director of OMB is authorized to 
                make expenditures under section 522 of title 31, United 
                States Code, as may be appropriate to carry out this 
                order.

                    (b) If an individual who is an Assistant to the 
                President is appointed to serve simultaneously as 
                Director for Transition Planning, the functioning, 
                personnel, funds, records, and property of the office 
                of the Assistant to the President and the office of the 
                Director for Transition Planning shall be kept separate 
                in the same manner as if the two offices were headed by 
                two different individuals.

                Sec. 4. Other Departments and Agencies. This order does 
                not alter the existing authorities of United States 
                Government departments and agencies. In carrying out 
                the missions set forth in section 2 of this order, all 
                executive departments and agencies are directed to 
                assist the Director for Transition Planning and the 
                Transition Planning Office to the extent permitted by 
                law.

                Sec. 5. Termination. The Transition Planning Office, 
                and all the authorities of this order, shall terminate 
                within 90 days after the date on which legislation 
                creating the Department of Homeland Security is 
                enacted, or within 1 year of the date of this order, 
                whichever occurs first.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                     June 20, 2002.
