of completion of the survey referred to in subsection (b), the 
Secretary of the Interior shall convey to San Juan College, in 
Farmington, New Mexico, subject to the terms, conditions, and 
reservations under subsection (c), all right, title, and interest of

portions of sections 29 and 30).
    (b) Description of Property.--The exact acreage and legal

cost of the survey shall be borne by San Juan College.
    (c) Terms, Conditions, and Reservations.--
            (1) Notwithstanding exceptions of application under the 
        Recreation and Public Purposes Act (43 U.S.C. 869(c)), 
        consideration for the conveyance described in subsection (a) 
        shall be--
                    (A) an amount that is consistent with the Bureau of 
                Land Management special pricing program for 
                Governmental entities under the Recreation and Public 
                Purposes Act; and
                    (B) an agreement between the Secretaries of the 
                Interior and Agriculture and San Juan College 
                indemnifying the Government of the United States from 
                all liability of the Government that arises from the 
                property.
            (2) The lands conveyed by this Act shall be used for 
        educational and recreational purposes. If such lands cease to 
        be used for such purposes, at the option of the United States, 
        such lands will revert to the United States.
            (3) The Secretary of Agriculture shall identify any
