"The resistance of the administration to opening general
aviation here while small planes fly everywhere else has now met

members of the House of Representatives, introduced legislation
Wednesday that would require the Department of Homeland Security to
present its plan for readmitting GA and BizAv to Reagan National
Airport. GA traffic has been banned since the 9/11 terrorist
attacks. Reagan National is within site of most major monuments
inside the District of Columbia -- just across the river from the
Pentagon. Under the legislation, DHS would have six months to
implement its plan.
