Wiki provides some "fun" facts about Rep. Davis:

As Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, he issued 1052 subpoenas for the Clinton administration. He also removed the "Oversight" title, which Waxman promptly reinstated upon taking over in January.

He was aware of the substandard conditions at Walter Reed in 2004, but didn't hold hearings because he didn't want to "embarass" the Army by publicizing the issue.

During the Schiavo contorversy, he issued a subpoena that ordered the appearance of Terry, her husband, Michael, and her doctors.
