Heavyweight pass: CHL catalog record for October 1954 could not be verified this session (client-rendered SPA, no browser-tool access); IA scan conferencereport1954sa kept as retained top-level source per docs/review.md. Page-by-page collation against the scan (leaves 37-40, printed pp. 37-40) confirms President J. Reuben Clark, Jr. (Second Counselor in the First Presidency), Second Day (Saturday, October 2, 1954) morning meeting, first speaker, preceding Bishop Thorpe B. Isaacson. Re-verified the boundary from the earlier light-review split of this talk out of the Henry D. Moyle file: this talk begins cleanly at leaf 37 ('My brothers and sisters, and friends:') and ends cleanly at leaf 40 before Isaacson's address begins; no cross-contamination in either direction. Body matches scan verbatim; no missing text. Set exact date, calling, session, and talk_order.
