Other legislative proposals included some of the first bills to ban lead in gasoline, ban the use of the pesticide DDT, and even a whimsical proposal to ban the internal combustion engine.
In 1962, Brown won the election and became a member of the United States House of Representatives, where he served from 1963 to 1970.
