In Congress both chambers vote individually on bills and often the two versions of a bill differ. To reach consensus the two chambers create which type of committee?

To reach consensus on differing versions of a bill, both chambers of Congress create a conference committee. This temporary committee consists of members from both the House of Representatives and the Senate who work together to reconcile the differences and produce a unified version of the bill. Once an agreement is reached, the revised bill is sent back to both chambers for approval.
