            ``(4) Investment of amounts.--
                    ``(A) In general.--On request by the Secretary, the 
                Secretary of the Treasury shall invest such portion of 
                the Acquisition Fund as is not, in the judgment of the 
                Secretary, required to meet current withdrawals.
                    ``(B) Obligations.--Investments may be made only in

                the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into 
                consideration current market yields on outstanding 
                marketable obligations of the United States of 
                comparable maturity.
                    ``(C) Acquisition of obligations.--For the purpose 
                of investments under subparagraph (A), obligations may 
                be acquired--
                            ``(i) on original issue at the issue price; 
                        or
                            ``(ii) by purchase of outstanding 
                        obligations at the market price.
                    ``(D) Sale of obligations.--Any obligation acquired 
                by the Acquisition Fund may be sold by the Secretary of 
                the Treasury at the market price.
                    ``(E) Credits to acquisition fund.--The income on, 
                and the proceeds from the sale or redemption of, any 
                obligations held in the Acquisition Fund shall be 
                credited to, and form a part of, the Acquisition Fund.
            ``(5) Transfers of amounts.--
                    ``(A) In general.--The amounts required to be 
                transferred to the Acquisition Fund under this 
                subsection shall be transferred at least monthly from 
                the general fund of the Treasury to the Acquisition 
                Fund on the basis of estimates made by the Secretary of 
                the Treasury.
                    ``(B) Adjustments.--Proper adjustment shall be made 
                in amounts subsequently transferred to the extent prior 
                estimates were in excess of or less than the amounts 
                required to be transferred.
            ``(6) Management.--The Acquisition Fund (including the 
        principal of the Acquisition Fund and any interest generated on 
        that principal) shall be managed in accordance with this 
        section.''.
