delivery facilities for which repayment is provided pursuant to such 
contract, under terms and conditions similar to those contained in the 
supplemental contract that provided for the prepayment of the Jordan 
Aqueduct dated October 28, 1993. The prepayment may be provided in 
several installments to reflect substantial completion of the delivery
