The CRS in its response says, “We maintain that the removal of Mr. Davis is justified.” It enumerates the reason for Morris Davis’ firing:
The November 20,2009, notice of separation sets forth Daniel Mulhollan's chief reason for the determination to separate Mr. Davis: "[he has] not adequately demonstrated the Senior Level Executive qualities and characteristics necessary to serve effectively as Assistant Director in the Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Division of the Congressional Research Service." Furthermore, Mr. Mulhollan explains that Mr. Davis "failed to adhere to the CRS policy on Outside Speaking and Writing", "impairing [his] ability to lead the analysts and managers in the Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Division] (and throughout the Service)", and that he had been previously verbally counseled on his failure to adhere to another CRS policy on Report Authorship and inappropriate interaction with a CRS senior manager. Mr. Mulhollan concluded that Mr. Davis "showed poor judgment and discretion . . . not consistent with 'acceptable service'".
Well – there you go. Let’s keep our eye on this, shall we?
