This document is a scanned page (301) from the Epilogue of a book, likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, stamped as evidence by the House Oversight Committee. The text analyzes the impact of Edward Snowden's leaks, crediting him with prompting Congress to modify the Patriot Act regarding domestic privacy while simultaneously criticizing him for damaging long-standing US intelligence methods used against foreign adversaries. It details the mechanics of NSA call chaining and the shift in how billing records are stored.
