  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a remarkable 
individual from Dallas, Texas for his induction into the National 
Football Federation's Leadership Hall of Fame last night January 8, 
2015. I would like to thank Chairman Archie Manning, Troy Aikman, Tom 
and Laura Leppert, and Roger Staubach for recognizing Dr. Kenneth 
Cooper for his dedication to health and fitness and his continued 
leadership in the North Texas community as a whole.
   Throughout Dr. Cooper's career he has continued to revolutionize 
health and fitness and has proven to be a leading pioneer in 
preventative medicine. Known as the ``Father of Aerobics'' he has 
motivated thousands of people in Texas and across the United States to 
exercise in pursuit of good health and overall well-being. I want to 
express my heartiest congratulations to Dr. Cooper on this outstanding 
accomplishment and sincerely thank him for his immense contribution to 
the Dallas community.
