This document is page 52 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, indicated by the filename 'Epst'), bearing a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp. The text details the history of the Tor network, explaining that it was originally developed by U.S. military research agencies (NRL, DARPA) for intelligence purposes but was released as open source in 2008 to better hide U.S. operatives among general traffic. It highlights the tension between different U.S. agencies, noting that while the State Department funded Tor, the NSA viewed it as an obstacle to tracking targets.
