Panel Moderator: 

 Ted Schwinden 

 Governor of Montana 



Our last panelist today is one of thie forennost 

 scientists in thie world, Dr Norman Borlaug His 

 efforts in ttie green revolution and the transformation 

 of tfie agricultural landscape to produce more food for 

 people wfio need it to survive earned fiim, of course, 

 thie Nobel Peace Prize, some 12 years ago in 1970, 

 True to hiis character and his commitment to an indus- 

 try that I happen to belong to as a farmer, Dr, Borlaug 

 was working in a wheat field at the time the award 

 came, and if I know Dr Borlaug, I suspect he com- 

 pleted whatever he did before he responded to the 

 media request because that is the only way that you 

 can operate a farm And that includes the breeding 

 of wheat 



For almost four decades. Dr. Borlaug has shunned 

 the comfort of academia in the US for the life of a 

 wheat breeder and a helper to American agriculture 

 and hungry people around the world, and in Mexico. 

 As he strives to improve the productivity of a grain, he 

 also is working, of course, to improve the quality of 

 life of people all around the world. 



It is more than a privilege, it is a genuine honor to 

 present to you this morning Dr. Norman Borlaug. . .
