                    REMEMBERING ROBERT C. BROOMFIELD

 Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I was saddened to learn recently of 
the passing of Judge Robert C. Broomfield, who served on the U.S. 
District Court for the District of Arizona for nearly 30 years, 
including as chief judge on that court from 1994 to 1999. During his 
impressive tenure on the Federal bench, Judge Broomfield was known for 
his outstanding work improving the administration of our Nation's court 
system. He was instrumental in bringing the Sandra Day O'Connor 
Courthouse to Phoenix, where a special memorial service will be held 
today in the Special Proceedings Courtroom named in his honor. Judge 
Broomfield was an outstanding public servant and a well-respected 
jurist, and his work will continue to have a lasting impact on our 
State for years to come. He will be greatly missed by his family, 
friends, and all those who had the pleasure of working with 
him.
