Summary
This document is page 189 from a book (likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the ISBN in the file name), produced by the House Oversight Committee. It details the intelligence war between the CIA and the Russian SVR in the early 21st century, focusing on the defector Poteyev who exposed a ring of Russian sleeper agents in the US, including Anna Chapman. It discusses the logistics of the SVR operation, the cover stories of the agents (travel agents, financial advisers), and the high financial cost of the FBI's resulting surveillance operations.
