From the Paper:

"The National Security Agency, or NSA, is a branch of the U.S. government responsible for monitoring data, and encoding and encrypting top-secret messages. Originally set up in 1952, it coordinates, directs, and performs highly specialized activities to protect U.S. information systems and produce foreign intelligence information. It enlists hundreds of the country's most skilled mathematicians and uses state-of-the-art computers in order to ensure that information is not leaked from the country, as well as to intercept messages from potential threats to the nation's security ("About NSA").

Thank you for considering purchasing one of my essays. I am an alumnus of UC Santa Barbara, with BAs in Economics and French, and have received an MA in History from SDSU. At both of these institutions my grades were exemplary, and was a member of various honor societies and fellowships while I was a student. Currently I work as an accounting analyst and financial consultant, but I am still involved in various writing and teaching projects in my free time. I am optimistic that you will find all of my essays thorough and concise, and hope that they will assist you in your work and studies.
