                  NOMINATION OF ANN MARIE McIFF ALLEN

  Mr. ROMNEY. Mr. President, I rise today to offer my full support for 
Judge Ann Marie McIff Allen--a native of my home State--to serve as 
United States District Court Judge for the District of Utah.
  Judge Allen has had an impressive career as a prosecutor, public 
defender, private civil attorney, and general counsel for Southern Utah 
University, and she currently serves as associate presiding judge on 
Utah's Fifth District Court.
  Furthermore, she has used her skills and talents to serve the 
community as a trustee of SUU, a commissioner on the Judicial 
Performance Evaluation Commission, and a Rotarian. She earned her law 
degree from the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University 
and, like me, studied English at BYU for her undergraduate education.
  Judge Allen's record and qualifications make it clear that she is 
exceptionally qualified to serve on the Federal bench. She is an 
exemplary jurist and I have no doubt that she will serve our State and 
country with honor and integrity as a district court judge.
  I urge my colleagues to confirm Judge Allen as United States District 
Court Judge for the District of Utah.
