- The attorney who represented the Army during the Army-McCarthy hearings. In those hearings, right-wing Sen. Joseph McCarthy (II) attacked Fred Fisher, who was a member of Welch's law firm. The attack provoked Welch's famous response: " . . . Senator. You've done enough . . . Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?".
- His famous speech "Have you no sense of decency, sir; at long last, have you left no sense of decency?" was used in the track "Exhuming McCarthy" by R.E.M.
- Great-grandfather of Amy Landecker.
