      required  to  be made by law shall pay to individual members or heads of
      families of the tribe the per capita shares of tribal  members  in  such
      annuity  money  unless,  at a general meeting of the qualified voters of
      such tribe duly called and held  during  such  year  and  prior  to  the
      distribution  of  such  money,  a majority of the qualified voters shall
      approve the expenditure of all or part of such moneys for  one  or  more
      tribal  projects,  in  which event the amount or amounts so approved for
      payment on account  of  such  project  or  projects  shall  be  paid  in
      accordance  with  such  vote  and  any  balance  of  such  annuity money
      remaining shall be added to the tribal funds.
