This document appears to be page 165 from a book (likely by Edward Jay Epstein given the filename, though the content is about Edward Snowden) stamped with House Oversight markings. It details the geopolitical maneuvering surrounding Edward Snowden's flight from Hong Kong to Moscow on June 23 via Aeroflot, arranged by Sarah Harrison. The text discusses the leverage Russian officials held over Snowden, his lack of travel documents, and the 'special operation' used to detain him upon arrival in Russia, preventing him from traveling to other nations like Cuba or Ecuador.
