How many votes would you need for your bill to pass the House committee and Senate committee?
If you are properly using the word committee, the answer is 50% plus one, or a simple majority. A committee does not make law. It discusses proposed laws called bills, works out the details, and with a majority vote moves the bill onto the "floor" for a vote of the whole chamber. If by committee you mean the actual full House of Representatives and the Senate, technically all you need there is a simple majority also. But there are complicating factors such as the filibuster in the Senate and various other rules that sometimes make this simple majority not enough for passage.
