A '''joint committee''' is a congressional committee composed of members of both houses.  They do not deal with legislation, but keep [[Congress]] up to date on policy concerns.  An example of a joint committee is the Joint Economic Committee.<ref>U.S. Government and Politics</ref> They are also used to bring into compromise bills that were passed by both the House and Senate, but had differing language. These are known as "conference committees".
