    funds apportioned for the Federal-aid highway program; bears to
        (2) all States' total fiscal year 2003 obligation authority for 
    funds apportioned for the Federal-aid highway program.
    (b) Programmatic Distributions.--
        (1) Programs.--Of the funds to be apportioned to each State

            the items to the State for fiscal year 2003.
        (3) Administration of funds.--Funds authorized by the amendment

    guarantee, the $2,800,000,000 set forth in paragraph (1) of such 
    section 105(c) shall be treated as being $1,166,666,667 and the 
    aggregate of amounts apportioned to the States under this section 
    for the minimum guarantee shall be treated, for purposes of such 
    section 105(c), as amounts made available under section 105 of such 
    title.
