a 2010 conference committee on dodd frank. and it s nothing more than a glorified press conference like the one on boarder security. one open session and everything else behind closed doors. think of the conference committee as a congressional mixer. add in digital frontiers, agents, walls, drones, fencing and dump them into a blender. hopefully when they mix everything together, the sides have a june need bill. this combo legislation is called a conference report. once approved in the conference committee, the house and it? take the conference report back to their respective bodies for adopti adoption. if the house and senate approve it, they re in sync. the legislation is synthesized and can go to the president for signature. if the house and senate don t form a conference committee, they only have one other option to get on the same page. it s called ping-pong. let s say the senate has a bill
