describing the results of the audit.
(3) If, on the basis of the audit, the secretary
determines that the amount anticipated to be available in the
fund with respect to the election cycle involved is not, or
may not be, sufficient to satisfy the full entitlements of

the election cycle, the secretary shall reduce each amount
which would otherwise be paid to all participating candidates
under this article by a pro rata amount as may be necessary
to ensure that the aggregate amount of payments anticipated
to be made with respect to the election cycle will not exceed
the amount anticipated to be available for payments with
respect to the election cycle.

candidates with respect to an election cycle, the secretary
determines that there are sufficient amounts in the fund to
restore the amount or any portion of the amount by which the
payments were reduced, to the extent that funds are
available, the secretary may make a payment on a pro rata
basis to each participating candidate with respect to the
election cycle in the amount or portion of the amount by
which the candidate's payments were reduced.
(d) Use of money from other sources.--In any case in which
the secretary determines that there is insufficient money in the
fund to make payments to participating candidates under this
article, money shall not be made available from any other source
for the purpose of making the payments.
