Summary
This document is page 150 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, stamped with 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT'. It discusses theories on how Edward Snowden obtained passwords to secure NSA vaults, specifically 'Level 3 documents.' The text details his employment transition from Dell to Booz Allen and explores the possibility that he unwittingly or deceptively used co-workers to gain access, noting that the NSA informed Congress in 2014 that three colleagues spoke to the FBI about potential deception.
