Summary
This document is page 171 from a book, likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by ISBN in footer '9780451494566' and file prefix 'Epst'). The text discusses the dispute over the number of documents Edward Snowden stole from the NSA, referencing interviews with James Bamford and claims by Glenn Greenwald. It mentions a Defense Intelligence Agency report regarding 900,000 compromised Pentagon documents revealed via a Vice FOIA request. While the file bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' stamp, the content relates to the Edward Snowden leaks, not Jeffrey Epstein.
