This document appears to be page 261 from a book about espionage, included in House Oversight files related to an investigation (likely Epstein given the filename prefix). The text features an interview with KGB officer Cherkashin discussing the handling of spy Robert Hanssen, comparing his 'uncontrolled' status to fictional moles, and referencing Edward Snowden's 2013 leaks. The page bears a timestamp of September 30, 2016, and the Bates stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019749.

Narrative Report / Book Excerpt (House Oversight Production)
View

This document appears to be a page from a narrative book or report (marked as a House Oversight exhibit) detailing Cold War espionage tradecraft. It specifically discusses the case of Robert Hanssen, a 'walk-in' spy who provided the KGB with massive amounts of US intelligence while refusing direct control or face-to-face meetings, and contrasts this with the defection of KGB Major Anatoli Golitsyn in 1962. The text analyzes the intelligence value of 'defectors-in-place' versus those who physically defect to the United States.
