Summary

This document appears to be page 191 from a book by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the filename 'Epst...'), likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets.' It details the compromise and exfiltration of CIA mole Colonel Poteyev following the arrest of Russian 'illegals' (including Anna Chapman). It discusses the SVR's attempts to recruit within the NSA, a 2010 NSA security investigation at Fort Meade, and historical KGB penetrations of U.S. communications.
