ISRAEL AND MENG LETTER ABOUT THE 55 DNL NOISE MEASUREMENT Reps. Steve Israel, Grace Meng and Mike Quigley (Illinois) have spearheaded an initiative to institute a more restrictive aviation noise measurement. Every other developed country in the world limits noise to what is called a day-night average level of 55. Only in the U.S. can you find the much higher legal limit of 65 DNL. Reps, Israel, Meng and most of the NY metro Congressional delegation have signed a letter calling on the FAA to reduce the legal noise limit to 55 DNL. We thank Reps. Meng and Israel and Quigley for all the work their staffs have put in on this letter, as well as for persuading so many other members of Congress to sign it. In fact, you can come out to the rally today and thank them there. The letter is attached. I understand the usual aviation industry trolls are bashing Rep. Meng on Facebook. If you have some time, you might want to go there and make a comment to support her. Thanks, Janet
