Dunno about the current state of things. However, back in either 
1982 or 1983, I believe, then Speaker TIP ONeill invited a group 
of Federationists onto the floor of the House. I would surmise 
that at least one of them used a guide dog. Jim Gashel can provide 
more specifics; I hadn't started coming to the Washington Seminars 
at that time but remember something from a Presidential Release.
