Summary
This document appears to be a page from a memoir or article draft titled 'The Six Dumbest Decisions of My Life.' The author recounts a 1970 assignment for Esquire to cover the filming of 'Two-Lane Blacktop' in New Mexico, involving James Taylor and Dennis Wilson. The author decided not to write the article to avoid being a 'snitch' regarding illegal drug use and sexual misconduct involving a minor (17-year-old Laurie Bird) on set. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was part of a document production for a congressional investigation.
