=**The Committee Process**=

Congratulations!!! You have successfully convinced your representative to propose the bill. Only a representative or a senator can officially propose a bill. An idea for bill can come from anyone including you. Once a bill is proposed, it doesn't go to the entire House of Representatives or the entire Senate to be discussed and debated just yet. __Bills that are proposed go to a committee__. There are numerous committees that specialize in certain areas of domestic and foreign policy. Committees consist of a small group of representatives in the House of Representatives or small group of senators in the Senate. These small groups, or committees, discuss the proposed bill and write the bill. If the committee doesn't like the proposal and doesn't pass it out of the committee, it's finished right there.

Your idea is going to a committee. Choose from the list below which committee you think it's going to: THIS IS NOT ANYTHING THAT YOU NEED TO PUT ON YOUR GUIDE. THIS OPTION THAT YOU'RE CHOOSING IS FOR YOUR INFORMATION TO KNOW HOW THE LAWMAKING PROCESS WORKS.
