Civil Suit
`Lacks Merit'
Los Angeles (JTA) — The
Anti-Defamation League is
saying that a lawsuit filed
against it last week by Arab
American and other organ-
izations is "without merit."
The civil suit was filed in
federal court here Oct. 21 by
12 Arab American and other
groups. It charges that the
veteran Jewish defense
agency conducted "secret
spying activities" against
their members.
The suit evolved from a
San Francisco police probe of
allegations that ADL used
confidential law enforce-
ment information for a pri-
vate national intelligence
operation that kept tabs on
thousands of American
organizations and in-
dividuals.
No formal charges have
been filed against ADL, but
the Washington. Post re-
ported last week that
evidence in the case might
be submitted to a San Fran-
cisco grand jury on Nov. 3.
ADL officials have con-
sistently rejected the allega-
tions.
The lead plaintiff in the
suit is the American-Arab
Anti- Discrimination Com-
mittee, which held simulta-
neous news conferences last
week in Los Angeles, San
Francisco and Washington
to outline its case and to in-
troduce individuals and
representatives of organiza-
tions that have joined in the
suit.
At the Los Angeles news
conference, lead attorney
Peter Schey of the Center for
Human Rights and Con-
stitutional Law said that the
suit seeks a court finding
that ADL has violated the

Mr. Schey also said the
plaintiffs are seeking an in-
junction against such alleg-
ed violations in the future as
well as an award of
monetary damages.
Mr. Schey maintained that
if ADL had apologized for its
alleged misdeeds and had
promised to mend its ways,
the suit would not have been
filed.
Mr. Schey later told the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
that the suit, which requires
a jury trial, would probably
not be heard for a couple of
years and that the plaintiffs'
costs would come to several
hundred thousand dollars.
He added that of the nine
lawyers for the various
plaintiffs, most were work-
ing for free and most were
Jewish.
