- Provide an America the Beautiful Pass as a “Welcome to America” gift to each newly naturalized citizen at swearing-in ceremonies;
- Consider the barriers that cashless entry to National Parks and other recreational sites impose on unbanked individuals; and
- Cooperate to host swearing-in ceremonies for new citizens on public land recreation sites.
