This document appears to be page 211 from a book manuscript (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, given the filename 'Epst') produced for the House Oversight Committee. The text discusses NSA security vulnerabilities, specifically predicting that foreign intelligence would target system administrators rather than low-level clerks. It details the concept of 'false flag' operations, citing the 1973 recruitment of U.S. Navy officer Jerry Alfred Whitworth by the KGB, who was tricked into believing he was spying for Israel.
