    (c) Use and Reversionary Interest.--
            (1) Use.--The property conveyed to the State of Wyoming 
        under this section shall be retained in public ownership and be 
        used by the State for the purposes of--
                    (A) fish and wildlife management and education; and
                    (B) using, maintaining, displaying, and restoring,

            (2) Access by institutions of higher education.--The State
