Summary
This document is page 218 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein), stamped as evidence by the House Oversight Committee. It details the security risks inherent in the NSA's outsourcing of intelligence work to private contractors like Booz Allen Hamilton and Dell, highlighting a 'revolving door' of high-level executives moving to private firms. The text specifically cites Edward Snowden's ability to move between contractors (Dell to Booz Allen) as a realization of security vulnerabilities warned about in NSA memos dating back to 2005.
