Could Normal Operations Resume at Reagan National? 
Updated: Thursday, Jun. 26, 2003 - 5:33 PM EDT. 
WASHINGTON -- Ronald Reagan National Airport is closer to resuming normal 
operations. 
WTOP learned that a House Transportation panel -- on a voice vote -- is 
recommending a return to general aviation at the airport. Congressman Jim Moran 
(D-VA) is a chief supporter of returning normalcy to the airport after the 
terror 
attacks of September 11, 2001. 
Moran thinks getting Reagan National moving again at full speed will help the 
local economy. 
"General aviation is an important part of the airport and the regional 
economy and I am confident that lifting the ban on general aviation can be done 
safely and securely," said Moran. 
Part of the new security measures include new background checks that include 
fingerprinting. 
The airport measure must still go before the full House, but is expected to 
be approved soon.
