(f) In the event that the payment received by a State under the provisions of a public works emergency appropriation for Federal-aid highways exceeds the amount apportioned to that State out of the next succeeding appropriation for Federal-aid highways, the whole amount apportioned to that State shall be reap- portioned to all the States in the manner provided in subdivision (e), and the difference between the payments so received and the amount so reapportioned shall be deducted from the amount apportioned to the State out of the next succeeding appropriation for Federal-aid highways and reapportioned in accord- ance with subdivision (e) and so on until the total amount so received has been thus deducted and reapportioned.
