I have some generic no name brakes, and a short pull lever, and my fame only allows a front brake. On down hills, its not very safe, and want something that can bring me to a stop even when going down a fast downhill.
Ahh, ok. Still, the front brake should have plenty of stopping power unless you're on an old bike with chromed steel rims. I still think it's out of adjustment. I don't know if what you're wanting to do with both brake levers is possible.

What type of brakes do you have? Do you have V-brakes which require a long pull lever? Is that the problem?
