                    ``(B) there shall be substituted for the dollar 
                amount specified in paragraph (1), and shall be treated 
                as the amount appropriated under such paragraph, an 
                amount equal to the sum of the additional allotments 
                described in paragraph (3), as applied under this 
                paragraph, but in no case more than $900,000,000.''.
