This document appears to be page 90 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the filename 'Epst_'), stamped as a House Oversight exhibit. It details the clandestine meeting in Hong Kong between whistleblower Edward Snowden and journalists Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald at the Mira Hotel. The text describes the specific tradecraft instructions Snowden provided, including the use of a Rubik's cube for identification, and Greenwald's initial impression of Snowden.
