Appropriate committees of Congress is defined for the briefings
What the document says“the term ``appropriate committees of Congress'' means-- (A) the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship of the Senate; (B) the Committee on Small Business of the House of Representatives; and (C) the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives.”
Subsection (c)(1) defines the term used in the two briefing requirements that follow. It means the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, the House Committee on Small Business, and the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. The definition applies only within subsection (c).
What the document actually says“the term ``appropriate committees of Congress'' means-- (A) the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship of the Senate; (B) the Committee on Small Business of the House of Representatives; and (C) the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives.”
This says which groups in Congress get the briefings. One is in the Senate. Two are in the House.
The word only counts inside this part of the law. It is a short way to name the three groups.
