Answer 1

Answer:

A Conference committee includes members from both houses of Congress and is formed for the purpose of achieving agreement between the House and the Senate on the exact wording of legislative acts when the two chambers pass legislative proposals in different forms.

Explanation:

Congress relies on four types of committees to deal with legislation related to the nation and international affairs. One of those committees is the Conference Committee, a temporary panel in which representatives of the House of Representatives and the Senate work together to reach a compromise and reconcile their differences over similar versions of a bill passed by both chambers.

If a compromise is reached, the "managers" (the conferees) prepare a conference report and send it to each chamber. Once the conference report is approved by the chambers, the bill is sent to the President for signature so that it can become a law.
