Whereas unhealthy eating habits and lack of physical activity 
have contributed to the obesity epidemic in the United

Whereas an obese teenager is 70 percent more likely to be-
come an obese adult; 
Whereas obesity is more common among non-Hispanic Black 
teenagers (29 percent) than Hispanic teenagers (17.5 
percent) or non-Hispanic White teenagers (14.5 percent); 
Whereas 70 percent of American Indian/Alaskan Native 
adults are overweight or obese; 
Whereas studies indicate that overweight youth may never 
achieve a healthy weight; 
Whereas a poor diet is associated with major health risks 
that can cause illness and even death; 
Whereas in addition to healthy eating, people in the United 
States can experience positive health benefits and be on 
the path for a better future by incorporating physical ac-
tivity into daily life, including 30 minutes for adults and 
60 minutes for children; 
Whereas physical activity can help prevent chronic diseases 
such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke, control weight, 
reduce fat, condition the heart and lungs, improve sleep, 
decrease potential of becoming depressed, increase energy 
and self-esteem, relieve stress, and increase the chances 
of living longer; and 
Whereas May 2014 would be an appropriate month to des-
ignate as ‘‘Health and Fitness Month’’: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘Health and 
Fitness Month’’; and

Long Hansen’s Disease Center.
(2) The term ‘‘Secretary’’ means the Secretary
of Health and Human Services.
(3) The term ‘‘State’’ means the State of Lou-

(g) Section 320 of the Public Health Service Act (42
U.S.C. 247e) is amended by striking the section designa-
tion and all that follows and inserting the following:
‘‘SEC. 320. (a)(1) At the Gillis W. Long Hansen’s
Disease Center (located in the State of Louisiana), the
Secretary shall without charge provide short-term care
and treatment, including outpatient care, for Hansen’s
disease and related complications to any person deter-
mined by the Secretary to be in need of such care and
treatment.
‘‘(2) The Center referred to in paragraph (1) shall
conduct training in the diagnosis and management of
Hansen’s disease and conduct and promote the coordina-
tion of research, investigations, demonstrations, and stud-
ies relating to the causes, diagnosis, treatment, control,
and prevention of Hansen’s disease and the complications
of such disease.
•HRES 565 EH 
(2) the Administration’s efforts to undermine the 
investigation, and the appointment of a person who has 
donated almost seven thousand dollars to President 
Obama and the Democratic National Committee in a 
lead investigative role, have created a conflict of interest 
for the Department of Justice that warrants removal of 
the investigation from the normal processes of the De-
partment of Justice; 
(3) further investigation of the matter is warranted 
due to the apparent criminal activity by Lois G. Lerner, 
and the ongoing disclosure of internal communications 
showing potentially unlawful conduct by Executive 
Branch personnel; 
(4) given the Department’s conflict of interest, as 
well as the strong public interest in ensuring that public 
officials who inappropriately targeted American citizens 
for exercising their right to free expression are held ac-
countable, appointment of a Special Counsel would be in 
the public interest; and 
(5) Attorney General Holder should appoint a Spe-
cial Counsel, without further delay, to investigate the
