                     IN HONOR OF JUDGE JANE McKEAG

  Mrs. BOXER. Mr. President, it is my honor to speak in recognition of 
Judge Jane McKeag. Judge McKeag has served the last 11 years as a 
United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Eastern District of California, 
Sacramento Division.
  In addition to her service as a judge, Jane McKeag utilized her 
expertise to educate the community and improve the bankruptcy system in 
Sacramento County, the State of California, and the Nation. Her many 
accomplishments are testament to her strong leadership and devotion to 
public service. Throughout her career she served the law community as a 
member of the Ninth Circuit Conference Executive Committee, the Eastern 
District Uniform Bankruptcy Rules Committee and the Finance Committee 
of the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges, as Chair of the Ninth 
Circuit Bankruptcy Education Committee and the Debtor/Creditor and 
Bankruptcy Committee of the Business Law Section of the State Bar of 
California and as President and Vice President of the Bankruptcy and 
Commercial Law Section of the Sacramento County Bar Association.
  Judge McKeag has not only contributed to the betterment of bankruptcy 
law as a judge, but also as a teacher. She was an Adjunct Professor at 
McGeorge School of Law and a frequent lecturer for the California 
Continuing Education of the Bar, the University of California, Davis 
Law School and the Sacramento County Bar Association. In addition, 
Judge McKeag spent 2 years as a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa.
  I commend Judge McKeag for dedicating her life to her country and her 
community. Her accomplishments have touched the lives of many, and her 
impact on her community and the Nation will be long remembered. I 
extend my sincere best wishes for her continued health and happiness. 
Jane McKeag is a distinguished member of the community, and it is with 
great pleasure that I recognize her today.
