This document is page 222 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (ISBN implied in footer), stamped with 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019710'. The text discusses the history of espionage between Russian intelligence (SVR/KGB) and the US NSA, specifically focusing on Putin's strategy in 2013 and the historical defection of NSA mathematicians William Martin and Bernon Mitchell in 1960. While the content is historical non-fiction, the file naming convention ('Epst_...') suggests it was included in a document production related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
