    The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to receive 
into the Treasury from time to time as a permanent loan by the Board of 
Trustees of the National Gallery of Art to the United States sums in 
cash of not to exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate, and to pay interest 
on the principal amount of such loan at a rate which is the higher of 
the rate of 4 per centum per annum or a rate which is .25 percentage 
points less than a rate determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, 
taking into consideration the current average market yield on 
outstanding long-term marketable obligations of the United States, 
adjusted to the nearest one-eighth of 1 per centum, payable 
semiannually. Such interest is permanently appropriated for payment to 
the Board of Trustees of the National Gallery of Art.
