                              		)



     The United States District Court for the District of
Nebraska has determined that it is in the best interest of the
Court to set a specific term of service for the chief bankruptcy
judge.  Title 28, U.s.C.  154(b) directs the Court to designate
one judge to serve as chief judge of the bankruptcy court having
more than one bankruptcy judge.  The Court has concluded that the
term of the chief bankruptcy judge should be the same as that of
the chief judge of the district court.  This term is set at seven
(7) years by 28 U.S.C.  136(a)(3)(A).  Therefore,
     IT IS ORDERED that the chief bankruptcy judge shall
serve for a term of seven (7) years, which term may be renewed
for an additional seven (7) years by the chief judge of the
district court with the consent of the active district court
judges.

DATED this   5th   day of July, 1994.

     BY THE COURT:

            (signed)
