This document appears to be page 159 from a book (likely by author Edward Jay Epstein, based on the filename code) included in a House Oversight investigation. It analyzes intelligence tradecraft regarding 'walk-ins' and defectors, discussing the strategic value of turning them into moles versus exfiltrating them. Specific cases discussed include the rejected asylum request of Chinese police chief Wang Lijun in 2012 and the flight of Edward Snowden to Russia.
