This document is page 6 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein), marked with a House Oversight Bates stamp. It details the author's investigation into Edward Snowden's time in Hong Kong, specifically contradicting Snowden's claim that he stayed at the Mira Hotel immediately upon arrival on May 20, 2013; hotel records show he checked in on June 1. The text references General Michael Hayden questioning Snowden's choice of location and mentions Snowden's interactions with journalists Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras.
