This document appears to be a narrative report (stamped House Oversight) detailing the initial contact between Edward Snowden and filmmaker Laura Poitras. It describes Snowden's employment at Dell in Hawaii in January 2013 and his admiration for Poitras's operational security, which she developed after being placed on a watchlist following her 2005 filming in Iraq. The text outlines how Snowden used Poitras's history of surveillance to establish a connection with her, referring to her as having been 'selected' by the NSA.
