                Executive Order 13267 of June 20, 2002

                
Establishing a Transition Planning Office for the 
                Department of Homeland Security Within the Office of 
                Management and Budget

                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.

                Executive Order 13266 of June 20, 2002

                
Activities To Promote Personal Fitness

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, and in order to improve the efficiency and 
                coordination of Federal policies related to personal 
                fitness of the general public, it is hereby ordered as 
                follows:

                Section 1. Policy. This order is issued consistent with 
                the following findings and principles:

                    (a) Growing scientific evidence indicates that an 
                increasing number of Americans are suffering from 
                negligible physical activity, poor dietary habits, 
                insufficient utilization of preventive health 
                screenings, and engaging in risky behaviors such as 
                abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs.
                    (b) Existing information on the importance of 
                appropriate physical activity, diet, preventive health 
                screenings, and avoiding harmful substances is often 
                not received by the public, or, if received, is not 
                acted on sufficiently.
                    (c) Individuals of all ages, locations, and levels 
                of personal fitness can benefit from some level of 
                appropriate physical activity, dietary guidance, 
                preventive health screening, and making healthy 
                choices.
                    (d) While personal fitness is an individual 
                responsibility, the Federal Government may, within the 
                authority and funds otherwise available, expand the 
                opportunities for individuals to empower themselves to 
                improve their general health. Such opportunities may 
                include improving the flow of information about 
                personal fitness, assisting in the utilization of that 
                information, increasing the accessibility of resources 
                for physical activity, and reducing barriers to 
                achieving good personal fitness.

                Sec. 2. Agency Responsibilities in Promoting Personal 
                Fitness.

                    (a) The Secretaries of Agriculture, Education, 
                Health and Human Services (HHS), Housing and Urban 
                Development, Interior, Labor, Transportation, and 
                Veterans Affairs, and the Director of the Office of 
                National Drug Policy shall review and evaluate the 
                policies, programs, and regulations of their respective 
                departments and offices that in any way relate to the 
                personal fitness of the general public. Based on that 
                review, the Secretaries and the Director shall 
                determine whether existing policies, programs, and 
                regulations of their respective departments and offices 
                should be modified or whether new policies or programs 
                could be implemented. These new policies and programs 
                shall be consistent with otherwise available authority 
                and appropriated funds, and shall improve the Federal 
                Government's assistance of individuals, private 
                organizations, and State and local governments to (i) 
                increase physical activity; (ii) promote responsible 
                dietary habits; (iii) increase utilization of 
                preventive health screenings; and (iv) encourage 
                healthy choices concerning alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and 
                safety among the general public.
                    (b) Each department and office included in section 
                2(a) shall report to the President, through the 
                Secretary of Health and Human Services, its proposed 
                actions within 90 days of the date of this order.
                    (c) There shall be a Personal Fitness Interagency 
                Working Group (Working Group), composed of the 
                Secretaries or Director of the departments and office 
                included in section 2(a) (or their designees) and 
                chaired by the Secretary of HHS or his designee. In 
                order to improve efficiency through information sharing 
                and to eliminate waste and overlap, the Working Group 
                shall

[[Page 42468]]

                work to ensure the cooperation of Federal agencies in 
                coordinating Federal personal fitness activities. The 
                Working Group shall meet subject to the call of the 
                Chair, but not less than twice a year. The Department 
                of Health and Human Services shall provide such 
                administrative support to the Working Group as the 
                Secretary of HHS deems necessary. Each member of the 
                Working Group shall be a full-time or permanent part-
                time officer or employee of the Federal Government.

                Sec. 3. General Provisions. This order is intended only 
                to improve the internal management of the executive 
                branch and it is not intended to, and does not, create 
                any right, benefit, trust, or responsibility, 
                substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or equity 
                by a party against the United States, its departments, 
                agencies or entities, its officers or employees, or any 
                person.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                     June 20, 2002.
