Summary
This document appears to be a page from a book proof (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the file name/ISBN) produced during a House Oversight investigation. The text criticizes the NSA's reliance on private contractors like Booz Allen Hamilton, highlighting the 2013 Edward Snowden leak as a failure of this outsourcing model. It notes that despite the security breach, Booz Allen was not penalized and saw increased profits from government contracts between 2013 and 2015.
