The order is aimed at ensuring "a seamless presidential transition," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.
"This is especially important as our nation is fighting a war, dealing with a financial crisis and working to protect ourselves from future terrorist attacks," she said.
Bush's executive order set up the "Presidential Transition Coordinating Council" which will be headed by White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and include White House officials who deal with national security, counterterrorism and economic policy.
