This document appears to be page 91 of a report (likely House Oversight Committee) detailing Edward Snowden's theft of classified documents from the NSA facility in Hawaii. It describes the timeline of events in April and May 2013, specifically noting his final day at the facility on May 17, 2013, his method of transferring data to thumb drives, and his personal preparations to flee, including misleading his partner Lindsay Mills. The text highlights security failures, such as the lack of random checks by guards and the delay in discovering the theft.
