Charles A. Halleck was a Republican leader in the House of Representatives for 10 of his 34 years as a Congressman from the state of Indiana (4 years as House Majority Leader and 6 years as House Minority Leader). He was a strong supporter of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, but highly opposed to the JFK and LBJ social programs.
Speech Relevance
Halleck is quoted in Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine as having said:
"When the American people want something from Congress, regardless of its political complexion, if they make their wants known, Congress does what the people want."
I am unable to track down any source for this quote besides the speech.
