Committees
They are formed to settle differences between House and Senate versions of the same bill.If changes were made by the Senate, the differences between its version of the bill and the House version of the bill have to be resolved. The House may vote to accept the bill as amended by the Senate if the changes were minor. If the two versions differ greatly however, the bill will most likely go to a conference committee made up of members from both the House and the Senate. This committee works out a version of the bill that will be acceptable to both houses of Congress. The revised version goes back to both the House and the Senate for approval.So basically, the purpose of a conference committee is so that a bill can be revised (or edited) to both the House and the Senates liking.

It means to fix a legislation that was passed with the Constitution. I.E. The Bill of Rights has ten amendments to the legislation. As proposed legislation ("a bill") proceeds through committee, and picks up additional sponsors, often, support is only forthcoming if additions, deletions or changes are made to the proposed statutory language, in order to obtain the support of a particular legislator or legislators. The results of the deliberations that occur in proceedings in committee can have the effect of amending legislation before it is put to a vote by the upper house (the U.S. Senate) and the lower house (the U.S. House of Representatives). Also, reports of planned, proposed, or enacted changes to existing law could be called "amending legislation" although it is not legislation, but simply a communicative writing reporting proposed or effected changes to legislation. These typically contain the original legislated statutory passages in strikethrough text for comparative and analytical purposes.
