Bush is to raise private money to help prepare for the presidency.\u003cbr/\u003eRunning mate Dick Cheney on Monday said it was \"regrettable\" that the federal government hadn't freed up taxpayer money to pay for a transition to a Bush-Cheney administration.\u003cbr/\u003eBut he said the Republican ticket would forge ahead with preparations for a transition with privately raised money.\u003cbr/\u003eMeanwhile, it could be the end of the week before Al Gore's legal challenge to the Florida presidential outcome is heard. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Leon County judge assigned to the case laid out a timetable on Monday for providing evidence and witness lists. \u003cbr/\u003eGore is asking the court to certify him as the winner in Florida despite George W. Bush's 537-vote lead.\u003cbr/\u003ePresident Bill Clinton on Monday defended the U-S government's position on taxpayers' money for the transition period of the new president.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking at a cabinet meeting, he said the authorities were dealing with the issue according to the law.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think the general service administration believes it cannot offer transition assistance to both of them - which is what I would otherwise be inclined to do. And I think they're doing what they think the law requires. I can't answer for anyone else in the White House - but I was personally not involved in it. I think they are trying to do what they think the law requires while this election challenge plays itself out.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Bill Clinton, U-S President\u003cbr/\u003eClinton took no side in the still debated outcome of the presidential election.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"On election day, every person who voted had a vote that counted just as much as mine. And so they have to sort that out in Florida: whose votes should be counted, can every vote be counted? If every vote can't be counted, is there a good reason why you're not counting that vote?\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Bill Clinton, President\u003cbr/\u003eAlthough Florida's statewide canvassing board certified Bush the winner of its 25 electoral votes and, therefore, the presidency, Gore's legal challenge places the outcome in enough doubt to keep the transition office closed.\u003cbr/\u003eVice-Presidential candidate Dick Cheney said that Bush being the winner in Florida should be accepted by the Gore team.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"Every vote in Florida has been counted. Every vote in Florida has been recounted. Some have been counted three times. Vice President Gore and Senator Lieberman are apparently still unwilling to accept the outcome.  That is unfortunate in light of the penalty that may have to be paid at some future date if the next administration is not allowed to prepare to take the reins of government.\" \u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Dick Cheney, Republican Vice-Presidential candidate\u003cbr/\u003eCheney said it was \"regrettable\" the government won't make taxpayer money available for a presidential transition because of challenges to Bush's declared victory in Florida.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"We believe it is absolutely essential for us to get on with the business of the transition.  Indeed it would be irresponsible for us not to move as rapidly as possible to carry out these responsibilities.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Dick Cheney, Republican Vice-Presidential candidate\u003cbr/\u003eCongress has approved office space and five point three (M) million U-S dollars in funds for the transition into the White House.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the General Services Administration said it could not authorise the transition money, because there was not an apparent winner and the outcome of the election remained unclear.\u003cbr/\u003eAs the Bush-Cheney team announced their transition effort, their own legal team was in a Florida court. \u003cbr/\u003eGore's legal team, led by attorney David Boies, is disputing the state's certified outcome that left the vice president just 537 votes short of Bush.\u003cbr/\u003eAppearing before Judge N. Sanders Sauls, all of the attorneys were put on notice that they would have to move quickly to deal with this case.\u003cbr/\u003eRepublicans believe the case has no merit.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"My name is Phil Beck and I also represent governor Bush and secretary Cheney. And one of the problems with the short notice is that not even all the lawyers for the same parties had a chance to confer and I have been instructed by my clients to note that while we certainly want to cooperate with the court and we will proceed in an expeditious way we believe that the contest that was filed today is untimely and ineffective under Florida law. When we file our answer we will file a motion to that effect.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Phil Beck, Bush Campaign Attorney\u003cbr/\u003eGore lawyers want more than 13-thousand disputed ballots shipped from Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties to Tallahassee for judicial review.\u003cbr/\u003eAttorney David Boies offered to bring ballots to the courtroom to save time.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"These are obviously ballots that ultimately the court has to make a judicial decision on. And because of the time frame we want to get them here so that that we can proceed as soon as the court is prepared to turn to that.\" SUPER CAPTION: David Boies, Gore Campaign Attorney\u003cbr/\u003eAfter the hearing, Boies spoke to reporters on the steps of the Leon County Circuit Court.\u003cbr/\u003eHe said he believed attorneys from all sides in the contested case wanted to move as quickly as possible to resolve the issue.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"That everybody recognises that this is a process that we must finish and we must finish it in a timely way and we must finish in a way that presents the matter to the Florida Supreme Court. None of us can afford to fail here.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: David Boies, Gore Campaign Attorney\u003cbr/\u003eThe U-S Supreme Court hears Bush's appeal against Florida hand counts on
