RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA URGING THE CONGRESS
OF THE UNITED STATES TO EFFECT CONTROLS OF
AIRPLANES SO AS TO MINIMIZE THE NOISE RESULT-
ING TO RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
WHEREAS, the many requests for Federal Government
investigation and assistance in resolving the noise problem
arising out of jet propelled airplanes using the Los Angeles,
California International Airport has resulted in a Congression-
al Committee Hearing thereon; and
WHEREAS, thousands of families residing in the immedi-
ate vicinity of said airport are substantially affected in their
well -being by the tremendous noise caused by low flying jet
planes in their use of said airport; and
WHEREAS, the hundreds of family dwellings within the
incorporated limits of E1 Segundo and immediately to the South
of said airport, and elsewhere, are vitally affected by the com-
plained of noises which are terrifically loud and penetrating;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of El Segundo
fully realizes the importance of the airplane industry to the
economy of our country, it further realizes that judicious
administration and control of such service through promulgation
of rules governing aircraft flights can minimize the inconvenience
and disturbance, and avert operations thereof, that perhaps un-
thinkingly and unnecessarily abuse the peace and well -being of
others; and
WHEREAS, the power to exercise this control, with fair-
ness to the industry, and with full appreciation of our Congress'
duty to and interest in its public, can result in the promulga-
tion of rules and regulations governing the flights of airplanes.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL

SEGUNDO DOES HEREBY RESOLVE that the City Council of the City
of E1 Segundo respectfully urges the Congress of the United

of controls regulating the flight of airplanes, particularly

ing to residential areas.
