		Conference committees are temporary panels whose purpose is to reconcile the differences between the final House and Senate versions of a bill.
		Conference committees are made up of House and Senate Members known informally as "conferees." The final compromise text they produce, called a "conference report," must be adopted by a majority vote in both chambers before it can proceed to the President and then, perhaps, become law.
		Regardless of what procedures it follows, the ultimate challenge for every conference committee is the same: to produce a final version of a bill that satisfies a majority of the House, a majority of the Senate, and the President of the United States.
