                           DR. KENNETH COOPER

  (Mr. SESSIONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a remarkable 
individual from Dallas, Texas, to recognize him for his introduction 
into the National Football Foundation's Leadership Hall of Fame last 
night, January 8, 2015.
  I would like to thank Chairman Archie Manning, football player Troy 
Aikman, Mayor Tom and Laura Leppert, and football player Roger Staubach 
for recognizing Dr. Kenneth Cooper for his dedication to health and 
fitness and his continuing leadership to health care for all.
  Throughout Dr. Cooper's career in the United States Air Force and in 
a medical career in Dallas, Texas, he has continued to revitalize 
health care and fitness. He is also the father of preventative medicine 
and known as the father of aerobics, trying to make sure that the 
American people and the world understand how important fitness is to 
our life and our health.
  I want to express my hearty congratulations to Dr. Cooper on 
receiving this outstanding award on behalf of the National Football 
Foundation, and I hope the American people and, today, the United 
States Congress will do so as well.
