"Last week I again had the privilege to shake the hand that pumped the first gallon of ethanol back in the '70's. We have come a long way since that first gallon. Congress has made some big decisions that helped open the doors for renewable fuels. Today, around 24% of the domestically produced gallons pumped into our cars are from corn based ethanol. I am deeply honored to receive this award and look forward to many more successful years with our joint efforts and cooperation."
