This document appears to be page 45 from a book (identified by the filename 'Epst_9780451494566' as Edward Jay Epstein's *How America Lost Its Secrets*) stamped as a House Oversight exhibit. The text details how Edward Snowden exploited a lack of auditing software at the NSA's Kunia base in Hawaii to steal classified data while working for Dell in 2012. It explains that post-9/11 reforms to eliminate 'stovepiping' created a shared network (NSANet) that allowed system administrators like Snowden access to CIA and Defense Department documents without detection.
