Yardley after WWI and its eventual closure by Secretary of State Henry Stimson in 1929.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019672.jpg
This document is page 184 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, stamped as evidence by the House Oversight Committee. The text discusses the timeline of Edward Snowden's leaks, specifically questioning how documents released in 2016 (via The Intercept) regarding Israeli drone intercepts were distributed if Snowden supposedly destroyed his files. The author cites a former KGB officer who suggests that Snowden's continued release of documents while in Russia was likely orchestrated or approved by Russian intelligence services.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019671.jpg
This document is page 183 from a book (likely 'Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales' based on the filename metadata) included in a House Oversight production.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019670.jpg
This document is page 182 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the footer 'Epst' and ISBN), stamped as evidence for the House Oversight Committee. The text analyzes the timeline of the 'Merkel document' (NSA spying on Angela Merkel), arguing that this specific document was not in the cache Snowden gave to journalists in Hong Kong but was likely provided to *Der Spiegel* after Snowden arrived in Moscow. It cites expert James Bamford, who searched the Hong Kong archive and found no mention of Merkel, suggesting Snowden or another party released it from Russia.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019669.jpg
This document is page 181 from a book (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, given the filename 'Epst') stamped as evidence for the House Oversight Committee.

The text critically analyzes Edward Snowden's claim that he destroyed all NSA documents in Hong Kong before traveling to Russia. The author argues this narrative is self-serving and illogical, citing statements by Anatoly Kucherena and interviews Snowden gave to various journalists (Bamford, Rusbridger, vanden Heuvel, Williams). NOTE: The 'Epst' in the filename refers to author Edward Jay Epstein, not Jeffrey Epstein.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019666.jpg

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019661.jpg
This document is page 173 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the filename 'Epst' and ISBN), marked as a House Oversight Committee exhibit. The text details the author's investigation into Edward Snowden's handling of stolen NSA documents, specifically citing interviews with Snowden's Russian lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena. The text establishes that Snowden retained a specific set of sensitive documents for himself—withholding them from journalists Greenwald and Poitras in Hong Kong—and that Kucherena later received reports and statements regarding Snowden from Russian authorities in July 2013. The document discusses the concern of US intelligence agencies (NSA, CIA, DOD) regarding what Snowden did with the documents he kept while in Russia.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019660.jpg
This page discusses the critical nature of missing NSA documents copied by Edward Snowden, specifically "Level 3" lists regarding China and Russia that were not provided to journalists.
