Rep. Davis threatens subpoenas
By Patrick O’Connor and Elana Schor

House Government Reform Committee Chairman Tom Davis (R-Va.) yesterday threatened to subpoena three members of the Bush Cabinet and White House counsel Harriet Miers if they do not comply with document requests issued by his select committee on Hurricane Katrina response.

During a committee hearing yesterday, Davis decried the failure of White House officials to release e-mails and other communication records related to the hurricane and its aftermath. Davis set a hard deadline of Nov. 18 for all federal agencies to comply with his requests.

“If documents aren’t produced by that date, I’m ready to proceed with subpoenas,” Davis said.

try to keep his seat was to act tough and not be an obstructionist
