Congressional Document / Report Page

This document appears to be page 166 of a report (likely Congressional, given the footer 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT') detailing the privatization of US government security clearance background checks. It specifically critiques the hiring of Edward Snowden by Booz Allen Hamilton and the failure of USIS (United States Investigative Services) to properly vet him due to profit-seeking incentives and lack of inter-agency access (CIA files). The text outlines how USIS, owned by Providence Equity Partners, was sued in 2014 for fraudulently closing hundreds of thousands of background checks to maximize revenue.

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.
