What is the purpose of a conference committee?

To draft new bills
To reconcile differences when bills pass in different forms
To discuss foreign policy
To review the actions of the Cabinet

The correct answer is: To reconcile differences when bills pass in different forms

A conference committee is a temporary committee created to resolve differences between the House and the Senate versions of a bill. This is necessary because both chambers of Congress must pass identical versions of a bill before it can be sent to the President to be signed into law. The purpose of a conference committee is not to draft new bills, discuss foreign policy, or review the actions of the Cabinet. Those are the responsibilities of other congressional committees.
