Congressional Tribute to Dr. Norman E. Borlaug Act of 2006

This bill authorizes the presentation of the Congressional Gold Medal to Dr. Norman E. Borlaug in recognition of his lifelong achievements in agriculture and humanitarian service. As the highest civilian honor bestowed by Congress, the medal recognizes Dr. Borlaug’s leadership in the "Green Revolution," which significantly increased global food production and is credited with saving over a billion people from starvation. While the bill does not change public policy, it serves as a formal national tribute to a scientist whose work improved food security and lowered food costs worldwide.
