    FILE - In this Oct. 21, 2012 file photo, Washington Redskins helmets and logo are shown during the first half of an NFL football game in East Rutherford, N.J.

Opponents have launched a legal challenge intended to deny the team federal trademark protection. A bill introduced in Congress in March would do the same, though it appears unlikely to pass. But a new Associated Press-GfK poll shows that nationally, “Redskins” still enjoys widespread support. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens, File)

Congress has directed the Federal Aviation Administration to come up with safety regulations to clear the way for routine domestic use of the aircraft within three years.
