Problems with the article

Saying "he was decorated" is meaningless. Decorated with what? Millions of soldiers get decorated every year; it's not notable unless it's a notable decoration.
Please keep the wikilinks for Committee of 49. Since Mr. Davis's notability is based on his appointment there, surely it merits an article explaining its accomplishments.
Please use the active voice, and stop reverting to the passive voice.
That said, there is no source for this claim. Please provide one before removing the fact tag. THF (talk) 18:09, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Sources were cited when the content was added. You didn't even read its title. Read them, and stop being silly. And stop rewriting the text to falsify who actually did the appointing. The source is clear. Read it. Uncle G (talk) 03:17, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
