Summary
This document appears to be a proof page (p. 58) from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, indicated by the filename). It discusses Edward Snowden's activities under the alias 'Cincinnatus' while working as a Dell contractor, noting that his non-NSA employee status legally prevented the NSA's 'Q' unit from monitoring his interactions with activists and Tor advocates without an FBI warrant. The page bears a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp.
