On the recordJune 23, 2010
I just wanted to commend my colleague, Congressman Altmire, for introducing this resolution to designate the week beginning May 2 as National Physical Education and Sport Week. Today, the President is going to be launching at Bell Multicultural High School in Columbia Heights, here in the District of Columbia, the President's Council on Fitness, Sport, and Nutrition, which expands on the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, which has been in place since the Kennedy administration, the Eisenhower administration. It brings the kind of focus to physical fitness and sports and nutrition that Congressman Altmire has signaled with this resolution. Again, I commend him for bringing that attention to this issue, and I urge support of this resolution.
