3. NORMAN E. BORLAUG, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Nobel Peace Prize – 1970 Man can and must prevent the tragedy of famine in the future instead of merely trying with pious regret to salvage the human wreckage of the famine, as he has so often done in the past. We will be guilty of criminal negligence, without extenuation, if we permit future famines. Presidential Medal of Freedom – 1977 Revolutionary scientist and eloquent prophet, he performed miracles with grain and saved untold millions from starvation. His work has pushed back the shadow of hunger on this planet and given us precious time to force its final retreat. Congressional Gold Medal – 2006 The man who saved a billion lives.
