        year 1994 by the Secretary to the Society to assist the 
        Society's efforts to improve, enlarge, and renovate the Mount 
        Rushmore National Memorial; and

        Treasury for purposes of reducing the national debt.''.
    (b) Retroactive Effect.--If, prior to the enactment of this Act, 
any amount of surcharges have been received by the Secretary of the 
Treasury and paid into the United States Treasury pursuant to section

of this Act. Amounts paid pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be 
out of funds not otherwise appropriated.
