Christ of Latter Day Saints and its current or future affiliated 
corporations grant the United States a right of first refusal to 
acquire all right, title, and interest in and to the property conveyed

affiliated corporations seeks to dispose of any right, title, or 
interest in or to the property.
    (e) Disposition of Proceeds.--Proceeds of this conveyance shall be
