No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.

BUEHNER, p.52); corrected the 3 Nephi 27:14-20 quotation's paragraph breaks (two verses had been run together, and the closing citation was misattached to the next paragraph rather than the verse it closes) and merged one other falsely split paragraph; calling_at_time corrected from the placeholder 'Quorum of the Twelve Apostles' to 'President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles' per the OCR speaker header ('PRESIDENT JOSEPH FIELDING SMITH, Of the Council of the Twelve Apostles') and President McKay's own introduction ('President Joseph Fielding Smith, President of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles'); session/date/talk_order set from conference index and page collation.
