*Standing Committees: these are the most important because all bills are referred to a standing committee in Congress.

A committee meeting is a meeting that is held mostly for administrative purposes. This is commonly referred to as a board meeting.

In the United States Federal Government, it's difficult for a Senator or Representative to know all there is to know about bills that are being submitted for debate and voted on. To create a "system" whereby these bills can be reviewed and properly categorized, each house of Congress has specialty committees to review bills and hold hearings about the value, and relevance of bills submitted to either House. Thus as example, a bill concerning a change in a tariff, will be referred to a committee or a sub-committee specializing in this type of a bill. So, the basic answer as to why Congressional committees are necessary is to review the bill and make recommendations. Congress can then have a better view of the bill and it makes for a smoother and expedient process. The Committees as another example, may inform the Congress that a bill in its current form needs more work... Bottom line is that the committee system works for the benefit of all.
