CHL catalog record for April 1955 could not be verified this session (client-rendered SPA; Chrome extension unreachable this session); IA retained as top-level source per docs/review.md. Opening address of the first general session (Second Day, Sunday morning), pp. 24-29. Title is supplied (Conference Report discourses of this era were untitled).
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the official/CHL/JSP source plus scan/OCR witness against the full scan range (leaves 23-29).
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: CHL catalog record for April 1955 could not be verified this session (client-rendered SPA, Chrome extension unreachable); IA scan conferencereport1955a kept as retained top-level source per docs/review.md. Page-by-page collation against the scan (leaves 23-29, printed pp. 24-29) confirms President David O. McKay's opening address, Second Day (Sunday, April 3, 1955) morning session, correctly excluding the presiding officer's conducting remarks (visitor roll call, broadcast/hymn announcements). Body matches scan verbatim; confirmed the prior contributor's OCR fixes (running heads, 'No!', 'far-off', hyphenation joins) all hold against the scan.
