Document Summary

This document appears to be a page (281) from a book manuscript, likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (inferred from the filename 'Epst' and ISBN 9780451494566), bearing a House Oversight Committee stamp. The text analyzes Edward Snowden's motivations, arguing that he sought fame rather than just whistleblower status, as evidenced by his refusal to remain anonymous despite offers from editors and his specific request for Laura Poitras to film him. It details the timeline of his communications with journalists Gellman, Greenwald, and Poitras in 2013.
