The House Committee of Ways and Means is a permanent committee of the House of Representatives. They are responsible for all bills concerning taxation, customs, duties and international relations. This gives them a great deal of power within the Legislature as they control how the government raises money. If they don't raise money, supposedly the rest of the legislature cannot spend it.
When a bill is introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, a bill clerk assigns it a number that begins with H.R. A reading clerk then reads the bill to all the Representatives, and the Speaker of the House sends the bill to one of the House standing committees. When the bill reaches committee, the committee members review, research, and revise the bill before voting on whether or not to send the bill back to the House floor.Through the multiple referral process, the bill is sent to several standing committees. If the committee members would like more information before deciding if the bill should be sent to the House floor, the bill is sent to a subcommittee. While in subcommittee, the bill is closely examined and expert opinions are gathered before it is sent back to the committee for approval.

Congressional committees have the job of deciding what needs to be added into a bill, prior to reporting it out for a vote. Committees can do research to improve the bill, suggest changes or modifications, or even express what it contains in a way they believe will make it more understandable. Often, when committee members decide they do not like a bill, they will recommend that it be tabled-- not voted on yet, since they believe it is not good enough in its current form to gain passage.
"Rules Committee.." is the most important because after a committee approves a bill, it usually goes to the Rules Committee, which can move it ahead quickly, hold it back, or stop it completely....

The Speaker also is responsible for deciding what committee a certain bill will go to; thus the Speaker can assure that a bill from the majority party is swiftly passed.
