[January 12, 2009]  WASHINGTON (AP) -- President George W. Bush is set to take questions from news reporters at a previously unannounced news conference in the final days of his administration.

Bush leaves office at midday Jan. 20, when President-elect Barack Obama takes the oath and moves into the Executive Mansion, becoming the 44th president. The news conference was scheduled for 9:15 a.m. EST.

The White House has not disclosed what the president will address when he takes the podium in the briefing room, although he and President-elect Barack Obama were preparing the ground in Congress to request the second $350 billion in emergency relief funds for America's wobbly financial system.
