SECTION 1. PROHIBITION AGAINST DUPLICATION OF BENEFITS.

    The 1994 Disaster Assistance provision as contained in the 
Agriculture Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and 
Related Agencies Act, 1995, is amended by adding at the end of the 
following new paragraph:
            ``(10) Limitation on disaster payments.--The Secretary 
        shall adjust the amount of disaster payments made to a producer 
        for a crop of peanuts to ensure that the total amount of quota 
        poundage for which such payments are made to the producer plus 
        the amount of quota poundage produced and marketed by the 
        producer does not exceed the effective poundage quota for the 
        farm of the producer for that crop. Disaster payments to a 
        producer on poundage quota in excess of the effective quota for 
        the farm of the producer shall be made based on the additional 
        poundage payment rate.''.
