HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020318.jpg
This document appears to be page 166 of a report (likely Congressional, given the footer 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT') detailing the privatization of US government security clearance background checks. It specifically critiques the hiring of Edward Snowden by Booz Allen Hamilton and the failure of USIS (United States Investigative Services) to properly vet him due to profit-seeking incentives and lack of inter-agency access (CIA files). The text outlines how USIS, owned by Providence Equity Partners, was sued in 2014 for fraudulently closing hundreds of thousands of background checks to maximize revenue.
