This document is a page from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by the filename 'Epst' and ISBN in the footer), marked with a House Oversight Committee stamp. The text details Edward Snowden's time working for Dell as an NSA contractor in 2012, his ambition to secure a high-ranking Senior Executive Service (SES) position, and his subsequent hacking of NSA files to steal entrance exam answers. It also references a prior 2009 incident where Snowden hacked his CIA personnel evaluation.
