ligence, from the provisions of section 552 of title 5,

ational files’ means files of the National Imagery and
Mapping Agency (NIMA) concerning the activities of
NIMA that were previously performed by the National
Photographic Interpretation Center of the Central Intel-
ligence Agency (NPIC), and which document the means
by which foreign intelligence or counterintelligence is col-
lected through scientific and technical systems, except that
files which are the sole repository of disseminated intel-
ligence are not operational files.
‘‘(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this sub-
section, exempted operational files shall continue to be
subject to search and review for information concerning—
‘‘(A) United States citizens or aliens lawfully
admitted for permanent residence who have re-
quested information on themselves pursuant to the

Code (Freedom of Information Act), or section 552a

tion by the Intelligence Oversight Board, the De-
partment of Justice, the Office of General Counsel
of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, or

and Mapping Agency for any impropriety, or viola-
tion of law, Executive order, or Presidential direc-
tive, in the conduct of an intelligence activity.

(a)(1) of this section which contain information derived
or disseminated from exempted operational files shall be
subject to search and review.
‘‘(B) The inclusion of information from exempted
operational files in files that are not exempted under sub-
section (a)(1) shall not affect the exemption under sub-
section (a)(1) of the originating operational files from
search, review publication, or disclosure.
‘‘(C) Records from exempted operational files which
have been disseminated to and referenced in files that are
not exempted under subsection (a)(1) and which have been

superseded except by a provision of law which is enacted
after the date of enactment of this act, and which specifi-
cally cites and repeals or modifies its provisions.

records under section 552 of title 5, United States Code
(Freedom of Information Act), alleges that the National
Imagery and Mapping Agency has withheld records im-
properly because of failure to comply with any provision
of this section, judicial review shall be available under the
terms set forth in section 552(a)(4)(B) of title 5, United
States Code, except that—

cally authorized under criteria established by an Ex-
ecutive Order to be kept secret in the interests of
national defense or foreign relations is filed with, or
produced for, the court by the National Imagery and
Mapping Agency, such information shall be exam-
ined ex parte, in camera by the court;
‘‘(B) the court shall, to the fullest extent prac-
ticable, determine the issues of fact based on sworn
written submissions of the parties;

records were improperly withheld because of im-
proper exception of operational files, the National
120
Imagery and Mapping Agency shall meet its burden
under section 552(a)(4)(B) of title 5, United States
Code, by demonstrating to the court by sworn writ-
ten submission that exempted operational files likely
to contain responsible records currently perform the
functions set forth in subsection (a)(2) of this sec-
tion;
‘‘(D)(i) when a complainant alleges that re-
quested records were improperly withheld because of
improper exception of operational files, the National
Imagery and Mapping Agency shall meet its burden
under section 552(a)(4)(B) of title 5, United States
Code, by demonstrating to the court by sworn writ-
ten submission that exempted operational files likely
to contain responsible records currently perform the
functions set forth in subsection (a)(2) of this sec-
tion; and
‘‘(ii) the court may not order the National Im-
agery and Mapping Agency to review the content of
any exempted operational file or files in order to
make the demonstration required under clause (i) of
this subparagraph, unless the complainant disputes
the National Imagery and Mapping Agency’s show-
ing with a sworn written submission based on per-
sonal knowledge or otherwise admissible evidence;
121
‘‘(E) in proceedings under subparagraphs (C)
and (D) of subsection (a)(6), the parties shall not
obtain discovery pursuant to rules 26 and 36;

that the National Imagery and Mapping Agency has
improperly withheld requested records because of
failure to comply with any provisions of this section,
the court shall order the National Imagery and Map-
ping 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 In-
formation Act), and such order shall be the exclusive
remedy for failure to comply with the section;
‘‘(G) if at any time following the filing of a
complaint pursuant to this subsection the National
Imagery and Mapping Agency agrees to search the
appropriate exempted operational file or files for the
requested records, the court shall dismiss the claim
based upon such complaint; and
‘‘(H) any information filed with, or produced
for the court pursuant to subparagraphs (A) and
(D) shall be coordinated with the Director of Central
Intelligence prior to submission to the court.
122

OF EXEMPTED OPER-
ATIONAL FILES.—(1) Not less than once every ten years,
the Director of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency
and the Director of Central Intelligence shall review the
exemptions in force under subsection (a)(1) of this section
to determine whether such exemptions may be removed
from the category or exempted files or any portion thereof.
The Director of Central Intelligence must approve any de-
termination to remove such exemptions.
‘‘(2) The review required by subsection (b)(1) of this
section shall include consideration of the historical values
of other public interest in the subject matter of the par-
ticular category of files or portions thereof and the poten-
tial for declassifying a significant part of the information
contained therein.
‘‘(3) A complaint which alleges that the National Im-
agery 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 District of Columbia. In such a proceeding, the
court’s review shall be limited to determining—
‘‘(A) whether the National Imagery and Map-
ping Agency has conducted the review required by
subsection (b)(1) within 10 years after the enact-
123
ment of this section or within ten years after the
last review; and
