- Charles Abraham Halleck was a Republican leader of the United States House of Representatives from the second district of Indiana. Halleck was born near DeMotte, in Jasper County, Indiana, the son of Abraham and Lura (née Luce) Halleck. He served in the Infantry of the United States Army, during World War I. After military service, Halleck attended Indiana University at Bloomington. In 1924 Halleck was admitted to the bar and began practicing in Rensselaer. From 1924 and 1934 he was the Prosecuting Attorney for the thirteenth district court. Following the death of the congressman-elect Frederick Landis in 1935, Halleck replaced him and remained in that position until 1969. A prominent member of the Conservative coalition, he served as the House Majority Leader after the elections of 1946 and 1952; he was House Minority Leader 1959-1964. He was a strong opponent of the liberal social proposals of Democrats John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, but supported the Vietnam War and was one of the strongest advocates for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Along with Senator Everett Dirksen he was the face of the Republican Party during most of the 1960s, and made frequent appearances on television news and talk programs. The press jocularly nicknamed his joint appearances with Mr. Dirksen the "Ev and Charlie Show. " After the 1964 election, Halleck was defeated in his bid to remain Minority Leader by Gerald Ford, who was the leader of a younger faction. Charles Halleck was married to Blanche Annetta White, who died in 1973. They had two children. Halleck died in Lafayette, Indiana on March 3, 1986 and is buried next to his wife in Rensselaer.
- Charles Abraham Halleck był amerykańskim politykiem ze stanu Indiana, który związany był z Partią Republikańską. Urodzony w De Motte w Jasper County w Indianie, Halleck służył w piechocie w czasie I wojny światowej. Po odbyciu służby wojskowej studiował prawo na uniwersytecie stanowym. Po śmierci kongresmana-elekta Fredericka Landisa w roku 1935 zajął jego miejsce, jako reprezentanta 2. okręgu stanu Indiana. W Izbie zasiadał do roku 1969. Jego pozycja rosła: w latach 1947–1949 i 1953–1955 przywódcą większości, zaś 1959-1965 liderem mniejszości. Koniec jego rządów we frakcji nastąpił na skutek buntu tzw. młodoturków, czyli młodszych republikańskich kongresmanów, którzy mieli dość jego skostnienia i konserwatyzmu. Jednym z przywódców buntu był kongresman z Michigan Gerald Ford, który zajął miejsce Hallecka. Halleck zmarł w Lafayette w Indianie.
