        failure to comply with any provisions of this section, the court shall 
        order the National Imagery and Mapping Agency to search and review the 
        appropriate exempted operational file or files for the requested records 
        and make such records, or portions thereof, available in accordance with 
        the provisions of section 552 of title 5, United States Code (Freedom of 
        Information Act), and such order shall be the exclusive remedy for

    consideration of the historical values of other public interest in the 
    subject matter of the particular category of files or portions thereof and 
    the potential for declassifying a significant part of the information 
    contained therein.
    `(3) A complaint which alleges that the National Imagery and Mapping Agency 
    has improperly withheld records because of failure to comply with this 
    subsection may seek judicial review in the district court of the United 
    States of the district in which any of the parties reside, or in the
