        availability of any such amount for obligation--
                    ``(1) for any other purpose during the fiscal year 
                for which the amount is appropriated; and
                    ``(2) for that or any other purpose after the end 
                of the fiscal year for which the amount is 
                appropriated; and
            ``(b) requires that any such amount not so obligated be 
        used for open-market purchase of outstanding interest-bearing 
        obligations of the Government.''.
