      To carry out the provisions of this chapter for fiscal years
    after September 30, 1984, there are authorized to be appropriated
    from the Sport Fish Restoration Account established by section
    9504(a) of title 26 the amounts paid, transferred, or otherwise
    credited to that Account. For purposes of the provision of the Act
    of August 31, 1951, which refers to this section, such amounts
    shall be treated as the amounts that are equal to the revenues
    described in this section. The appropriation made under the
    provisions of this section for each fiscal year shall continue
    available during the succeeding fiscal year. So much of such
    appropriation apportioned to any State for any fiscal year as
    remains unexpended at the close thereof is authorized to be made
    available for expenditure in that State until the close of the
    succeeding fiscal year. Any amount apportioned to any State under
    the provisions of this chapter which is unexpended or unobligated
    at the end of the period during which it is available for
    expenditure on any project is authorized to be made available for
    expenditure by the Secretary of the Interior in carrying on the
    research program of the Fish and Wildlife Service in respect to
    fish of material value for sport and recreation.
