promote the orderly transfer of the executive power in connection with
the expiration of the term of office of a President and the inauguration

in the office of President be accomplished so as to assure continuity in
the faithful execution of the laws and in the conduct of the affairs of
the Federal Government, both domestic and foreign. Any disruption
occasioned by the transfer of the executive power could produce results
detrimental to the safety and well-being of the United States and its
people. Accordingly, it is the intent of the Congress that appropriate
actions be authorized and taken to avoid or minimize any disruption. In
addition to the specific provisions contained in this Act directed
toward that purpose, it is the intent of the Congress that all officers
of the Government so conduct the affairs of the Government for which
they exercise responsibility and authority as (1) to be mindful of
problems occasioned by transitions in the office of President, (2) to
take appropriate lawful steps to avoid or minimize disruptions that
might be occasioned by the transfer of the executive power, and (3)
otherwise to promote orderly transitions in the office of President.
