Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the first section of the Act entitled “An Act to transfer certain lands situated in Rapides Parish, Louisiana, to board of supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College”, approved July 14, 1945 (59 Stat. 468), is amended by striking out “for the establishment and maintenance of an agricultural and vocational school” and by inserting in lieu thereof the following: “for educational purposes”.
Sec. 2.
The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized and directed upon written consent of the Louisiana Rural Rehabilitation Corporation, to execute such quitclaim deed or other instruments in writing as may be necessary to carry out the amendment made by the first section of this Act.

Repeal.
1951 (65 Stat. 46), which provided for transfer of twenty-five acres of the subject property to the Police Jury of the Parish of Rapides, is hereby repealed since such transfer was not made because the proposed transferee made other arrangements for holding livestock and agricultural expositions.
Approved September 16, 1959.
