-A '''conference committee''' is an [[ad hoc]] joint committee of a [[bicameralism|bicameral]] [[legislature]], which is appointed by, and consists of, members of both chambers to resolve disagreements on a particular [[Bill (proposed law)|bill]]. While such committees are common in the United States Congress and other U.S. legislatures, they are no longer in use in the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] or most other bicameral [[Westminster system]] parliaments. In the U.S. [[Congress]], the conference committee is usually composed of the senior members of the [[standing committee]]s of each House that originally considered the legislation. A Conference Committee is a temporary panel of House and Senate negotiators. A conference committee is created to resolve differences between versions of similar House and Senate bills.
