Redactions are present as black ink obscuring text, primarily in the upper center of the page, with a smaller redaction further down.

The document also features a line of asterisks, signifying a break or a particular emphasis in the text. No photographs, official stamps, forms, diagrams, or explicit evidence of experimental procedures are visible.
