I. Amends Chapter 109, Title 18 to prohibit any U.S. civilian employee or member of the Armed Forces from willfully
causing any part of the Armed Forces to conduct surveillance
over, or maintain records on the beliefs, associations, political
activities, private and business transactions of U. S. citizens.
Four exceptions are recognized. These provisions do not apply
where such activity is otherwise required by statute; nor do
they limit or enlarge such legal authority of the Armed Forces as
may exist to collect information relevant to criminal investigations
charged to the Armed Forces, to employment applications, to
restoration of public order once the Armed Forces have been
deployed under 10 U. S. C. 331-334.
II. Amends Title 28 to impose liability on any U. S. civilian
employee or member of the Armed Forces for damages to persons
or groups he has subjected to prohibited surveillance or record-
keeping; to authorize any group subjected to such prohibited activities
to bring civil action against the U. S. for appropriate equitable
relief; to provide for class action and venue relating to such
actions.
