[Travelandtourism] Disabled Getting into National Parks Free

[Cindy Handel]

I think there was a banquet speech.  But, I don't remember which, either. 
I'm also not comfortable with it.

Not Cindy, but to me it makes no difference if it is all disabled people or
just the blind folks, it is still not something I am comfortable with.

Seems like there is a banquet speech on this topic...I can't remember which
one though.  Have to do some poking around.
