as hereinafter provided. There is hereby appropriated to the Social

        Commissioner of Social Security on the basis of the records of 
        wages established and maintained by such Commissioner in 
        accordance with such reports; and

        such chapter (other than section 1401(b)) to such self-
        employment income, which self-employment income shall be

inadequate to meet the Trust Fund's obligations for any month, the 
Secretary of the Treasury shall transfer to the Trust Fund on the first 
day of such month the total amount which would have been transferred to 
the Trust Fund under this section as in effect on October 1, 1990; and 
the Trust Fund shall pay interest to the general fund on the amount so 
transferred on the first day of any month at a rate (calculated on a 
daily basis, and applied against the difference between the amount so 
transferred on such first day and the amount which would have been 
transferred to the Trust Fund up to that day under the procedures in 
effect on January 1, 1983) equal to the rate earned by the investments 
of the Trust Fund in the same month under subsection (d).''.
