The Rules Committee
The United States House Committee on Rules has the responsibility of reviewing bills before they go to the full House. The committee was created in 1789.
It goes to a conference committee composed of both Representatives and Senators. They attempt to work out a compromise bill which then gets sent back to both House and Senate for their consideration.
The committee passes the bill to another committee in the other house of Congress.
The House Rules Committee places the bill on a calendar for floor debate in the House or the Senate.
