This document is page 216 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the filename and content). It details the privatization of U.S. government background checks initiated by the Clinton administration in 1996. The text criticizes the private firm USIS (owned by Providence Equity Partners) for failing to access CIA records during Edward Snowden's 2011 background check and for fraudulently 'flushing' over 665,000 incomplete investigations to maximize profit, leading to a 2014 lawsuit.
