    information properly subject to privilege.

        (1) In general.--Any opinion of the Office of Legal Counsel 
    that would have been selected for publication under the process of 
    review established under subsection (a) but for the fact that 
    publication would reveal classified or other sensitive information 
    relating to national security shall be provided or made available 
    to the appropriate committees of Congress.
        (2) Exception for covert action.--If the President determines 
    that it is essential to limit access to a covert action finding 
    under section 503(c)(2) of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 
    U.S.C. 3093(c)(2)), the President may limit access to information 
    concerning such finding that would otherwise be provided or made 
    available under this subsection to those members of Congress who 
    have been granted access to such finding under such section 
    503(c)(2).
    (f) Judicial Review.--The determination whether an opinion of the

        reprisal for the disclosure.
        ``(4) Agency adjudication.--
            ``(A) Remedial procedure.--An employee or former employee 
        who believes that he or she has been subjected to a reprisal 
        prohibited by paragraph (1) may, within 90 days after the 
        issuance of notice of such decision, appeal that decision 
        within the agency of that employee or former employee through 
        proceedings authorized by subsection (b)(7), except that there

        adverse security clearance or access determination violated 
        paragraph (1), the agency shall find that paragraph (1) was 
        violated if a disclosure described in paragraph (1) was a 
        contributing factor in the adverse security clearance or access 
        determination taken against the individual, unless the agency 
        demonstrates by a preponderance of the evidence that it would 
        have taken the same action in the absence of such disclosure, 
        giving the utmost deference to the agency's assessment of the 
        particular threat to the national security interests of the
