What is the purpose of subcommittee?

Subcommittees are responsible to, and work within the guidelines established by, their parent committees. In particular, standing committees usually create subcommittees with legislative jurisdiction to consider and report bills. They may assign their subcommittees such specific tasks as the initial consideration of measures and oversight of laws and programs in the subcommittees' areas. Service on subcommittees enables members to develop expertise in specialized fields. Subcommittees diffuse the legislative process. For the most part, they are independent, autonomous units with written jurisdictions, and, pursuant to longstanding practice, most bills are referred by a full committee to them.[

What are subcommittes?

Most standing committees have subcommittees. Most of the work gets done in subcommittees. Each subcommittee specializes in a subcatagory of its standing committee. For example, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has a subcommittee that deals with European Affairs, another deals with the Western Hemispere and Peace Corps Affairs, etc. Simply put, subcommittees specialize in a particular policy area and report back to the main (standing) committee. Many members of Congress want to become chairpersons of subcommittees because they can get so much done, accomplish something important to them, gain prestige, and even improve their image with the voters back home.
