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.
