I hadn't heard that news, but if you are planning to do much visiting of
National Parks, it would be worthwhile to buy a Golden Eagle card.
For $10 you get free admission to *all* NPS parks (i.e. National Parks and
National Monuments) for the rest of the year - a bargain!

Most 'major' parks now charge $3 per car for entrance.  You can buy a
Golden Eagle 'at the door' instead of this $3.  There's probably a way to
buy one buy mail, too - contact National Parks Service, Dept. of the 
Interior.
