Narrative:

While taxiing to runway 30 lgb captain requested the taxi checklist, during which he interrupted the check with additional requests, at which the first officer then had to return to the top of the check delaying the completion of the taxi checklist. As the captain approached runway 30 at J intersection he crossed the holding line a short distance and stopped well back of the runway. However, past the holding lines. Tower control not knowing if the captain was going to stop, canceled the landing clearance of an approaching aircraft. Flight crew's should taxi in the area of a runway with extra care, both pilots should be looking outside the aircraft at this point. I should have stopped the checklist until the aircraft was stopped and completed the captain's request after insuring we stopped short of the holding lines. It is both pilots' job to insure safe operation of an aircraft. Safety always must come first, then the checklist!
