Scientist who saved up to 1 billion lives gets medal

July 18, 2007
WASHINGTON -- President Bush presented the Congressional Gold Medal on Tuesday to agriculture scientist Norman Borlaug, whose work on high-yield, disease-resistant varieties of wheat is credited with starting the ''Green Revolution'' and alleviating starvation in India and Pakistan in the 1960s.

Borlaug, whose work is credited with saving up to a billion lives, was awarded the Nobel Peace Price in 1970.

''The name Norman Borlaug may not be known in many households on earth, but his life's work has reached almost every kitchen table on earth,'' said Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Borlaug, an Iowa native, was educated in a one-room schoolhouse and went on to attend the University of Minnesota. He continues to work for the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico.
