its allocation for Fiscal Year 1981 bore

to $2.9 billion.

(2) American Samoa receives an

amount which bears the same ratio to

the amount allotted to the Northern

Mariana Islands as the population of

(3) The remainder of the $2.380

billion is allotted to each State in the

same proportion as that State’s
