Summary
This document is page 134, 'Chapter Seventeen,' likely from a book or report regarding Edward Snowden (possibly 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein).

It references comments by Glenn Greenwald and NSA official Ledgett regarding the 'keys to the kingdom'—documents that reveal the core mechanisms of U.S. surveillance. The page bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' footer.
