amended by striking the two provisos and inserting the following:

which is entitled to receive funds under this Act or the Act of July 2, 
1862, then no funds shall be paid out under this Act or the Act of July 
2, 1862, to such State or Territory unless the funds to be paid out are 
equitably divided among such colleges, as proposed by the legislature 
of such State or Territory and approved by the Secretary of 
Agriculture.''.
    (b) Second Section.--Section 2 of that Act (7 U.S.C. 324) is

    (e) Effect of Amendments.--
            (1) Eligibility of land-grant colleges and institutions.--
        The amendments made by section 1 shall not affect the 
        eligibility of any land-grant college or institution to receive 
        funds under the Act of July 2, 1862 (7 U.S.C. 301-305, 307 and 
        308) (commonly known as the First Morrill Act), the Act of 
        August 30, 1890 (7 U.S.C. 321-326, 328), or any other law.
            (2) Land-grant college or institution defined.--For 
        purposes of this subsection, the term ``land-grant college or

        enactment of this Act, was eligible to receive funds under the 
        Act of July 2, 1862, or the Act of August 30, 1890.
