This document was generated with the Tesseract Optical Character Recognition engine. Because of the poor quality of the original pdf and the numerous redacted sections, the text contains many errors and should not be regarded as the definitive text. This document should be used by those who wish to process the text at scale. The difficulties associated with the OCR process also signals the failure of the Justice Department to accommodate citizens using screen readers to access this document.
