CONGRESS VOTES GOLD MEDAL FOR IOWAN BORLAUG
December 07, 2006
Congress yesterday voted to honor Iowa's Nobel Laureate Norman Borlaug with a gold medal. Considering his accomplishments, it's a modest award.
Des Moines hosts the World Food Prize organization, dedicated to carrying on Dr. Borlaug's work in fighting hunger. If you are so inclined, you can donate to the World Food Prize organization or to the Norman Borlaug Heritage Foundation, a non-profit "dedicated to promoting education programs and projects which reflect the lifetime achievements and philosophy of Dr. Norman Borlaug." The Norman Borlaug Heritage foundation is preserving Dr. Borlaug's childhood home near Cresco, which we visited last fall.
