eport\ a bill means to send it to the news media so reporters can tell the public about it.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Option 1: Committees send written reports to Congress explaining bill changes and reasons for/against passage. This aligns with legislative process.
• Option 2: Committees don't send reports to Supreme Court for judicial review; judicial review is court - initiated. So this is false.
• Option 3: After changes, committees vote to kill or report (send to full chamber) a bill. This is correct.
• Option 4: Reporting a bill means sending it to full House/Senate for action. This matches the legislative definition.
• Option 5: Reporting a bill isn't about sending to president (that's after passage), so false.
• Option 6: Reporting a bill isn't for media; it's for legislative action, so false.
