Background
Steward Udall proposes 'Earth Observation' program with a 1966 launch - http://eros.usgs.gov/udall50thanniversary/udall.php
President Reagan moves to cancel Landsat, Congressman George Brown acts to continue Landsat
George Brown's political action saved the Landsat program. The Congressman out in front of "big science" for decades was a key figure in the Landsat program, the long-running database of imagery of Earth that is moving on to its fifth decade with Landsat 9 (and open access) as a result of Brown's efforts. On the House science committee for over 30 years, George led an array of science efforts, including one that greens look to as prescient -- he drafted legislation establishing the first national climate change research program via the National Climate Program Act of 1978. Congressman Brown, from 1964 until his untimely passing in 1999, was a mentor for your GreenPolicy Siterunner.
