I really appreciate it. Coming up on cspan3, a Senate Hearing on k1 visa fraud. The british house of commons and after that a look at the medicare independent payment advisory board. And later, legal scholars consider the record of Supreme Court nominee, judge neil gorsuch. K1 visas allow a foreigner who is engaged to usa resident to become a u. S. Resident and green cardholder. The Senate Judiciary committee holds a hearing on fraud. This is an hour and 50 minutes.

I will call on senator durbin because he has another important meeting he has to go too.
