Procedural reforms enacted into law (PL 110-81)

Pre-conference maneuvering in the House and Senate and the key factors that determine whether a bill goes to conference

How the House and Senate procedures for going to conference differ

Learn the negotiating strategies used by the conferees during the bargaining process and how institutional differences impact the bargaining process
