CONFERENCE REPORTS.
Often both chambers of Congress pass related,
though not identical, bills. In this case,
a
conference committee consisting of members
from both bodies is formed to work out the
differences in the two bills. Once completed,
a compromise version of the bill is then
sent to each
chamber for final approval. Sometimes, this
compromise version of the bill is accompanied
by a
conference report from the conference committee.
