Explanation:

1. Analyze each statement:

• Statement 1: Committees do send written reports to Congress (House/Senate) explaining bill changes and their stance on passage. This is correct.
• Statement 2: Committees don't send reports to the Supreme Court for judicial review during the bill - reporting process. The Supreme Court's role is later (if constitutional issues arise), so this is incorrect.
• Statement 3: After amending a bill, the committee votes to either kill (defeat) the bill or report (send it forward) it. This is correct.
• Statement 4: Reporting a bill is not about sending it to the president. Sending to the president is after Congress passes it. So this is incorrect.
• Statement 5: "Reporting" a bill means sending it to the full House or Senate (the legislative body) for further action (like debate, voting). This is correct.
• Statement 6: Reporting a bill is an internal legislative process, not about sending to news media. So this is incorrect.

Answer:

• The committee sends a written report to Congress, explaining the changes to the bill and why the full Congress should or should not pass the bill.
• When all changes to a bill have been made, the committee votes either to kill the bill or report it.
• To "report" a bill means to send it to the full House or Senate for action.
