Madam Speaker, communities throughout the Nation are seeing unprecedented growth in electricity demand, driven in large part by data centers and other energy-intensive facilities. That growing demand is already having a direct impact on communities like those that I represent in the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos, where, after 4 years of severe inflation under President Biden, residents are being put in a position where they could end up footing the energy bill for new data centers. The rapid growth of these facilities requires unprecedented new investments in our electric grid.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 9723, the Fit Future Act, which I am leading alongside my colleagues Representatives Greg Murphy and Jeff Van Drew. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 9723 codifies the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition and revives the Presidential Fitness Test with appropriate improvements. Each year, more of America's children face the consequences of physical inactivity: rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic conditions that follow them into adulthood.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service and sacrifice of Army veteran James Robert Yaroszeufski. James served honorably in the United States Army during the Vietnam war. During his service, he was wounded in combat and awarded the Purple Heart in recognition of the sacrifices he made in defense of our Nation. His military record also includes the Army Commendation Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and Vietnam Campaign Medal.
