Hi, can someone let me know what 'confer upon' means here?

I know confer means 'to discuss or 'to bestow', but none of them seems to be right here.

Thank you very much!!

Yes they are. That's precisely what it means.

Specifically, the "bestow" one. The phrase "bestow upon" is common.

To say "discuss with" people say "confer with".

I find the sentence confusing. What's the object of "confer"?

. Does the sentence continue with some words you haven't given us, Fort Lee?
