The bill would posthumously award the Congressional Gold Medal to the Honorable Justin Smith Morrill, the father of our nation’s land-grant university system. Currently the bill is in its committees of jurisdiction. “With two outstanding land grant universities in the Third Congressional District, Tuskegee University and Auburn University, I was proud to cosponsor this legislation to posthumously award the highest honors to a dedicated public servant – serving as both a U.S. Senator and Member of the House of Representatives and best known for the two Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Acts, which created universities with a focus on agricultural studies all across the United States. “These pieces of legislation helped fund and make Tuskegee University and Auburn University what they are today. As a senior member of the House Committee on Agriculture, I know just how important these universities are to our state’s economy. The research that is done at land-grant universities is second to none. Our great State is forever indebted to Justin Smith Morrill.” -###-	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
