(2) by adding at the end the following new clause:
``(ii) For purposes of clause (i), if the Commissioner of

this title to an individual by 100 percent would defeat the
purpose of this title, the Commissioner may decrease such
payment by a smaller amount, provided that such smaller
amount is not less than 10 percent of the amount of such
payment.''.
