Boyer will talk about the need to provide relief for the 41,000 aircraft 
trapped inside the enhanced Class B airspace and the Washington, D.C. and New 
York TFR exclusionary zones. He will also talk about the impact on small 
aviation businesses such as aerial photographers, banner-towers, traffic 
reporters and news aircraft, and tell Congress about the need for a financial 
relief package to help those businesses harmed by the shut-down of general 
aviation operations.
