This document is page 136 from Edward Jay Epstein's book 'How America Lost Its Secrets,' bearing a House Oversight Bates stamp. It details the FBI's initial response to Edward Snowden's 2013 theft of NSA secrets, including tracking him to the Mira hotel in Hong Kong, freezing his assets, and forensic analysis of his workspace in Hawaii. The text highlights a lack of inter-agency communication, noting that the DIA was not informed until July 10 that Snowden had also stolen a 'staggering' number of military documents related to Cyber Command.
