The Secretary shall maintain in the Presidential Election
Campaign Fund established by section 9006(a), in addition to any
account which he maintains under such section, a separate account
to be known as the Presidential Primary Matching Payment Account.
The Secretary shall deposit into the matching payment account, for
use by the candidate of any political party who is eligible to
receive payments under section 9033, the amount available after the
Secretary determines that amounts for payments under section
9006(c) and for payments under section 9008(b)(3) are available for
such payments.

Upon receipt of a certification from the Commission under section

the Secretary shall promptly transfer the amount certified by the
Commission from the matching payment account to the candidate. In
making such transfers to candidates of the same political party,
the Secretary shall seek to achieve an equitable distribution of
funds available under subsection (a), and the Secretary shall take
into account, in seeking to achieve an equitable distribution, the
sequence in which such certifications are received.
