Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified source as the Church History Library-contributed Internet Archive scan conferencereport1963a (133rd Annual Conference, held Apr 5-7, 1963; IA metadata confirms CHL call no. M204.1 A1 1880, 1897-). Rebuilt page reading order from the scan's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) to safely resolve talk boundaries against the report's own session headers (FIRST/SECOND/THIRD DAY, MORNING/AFTERNOON MEETING, GENERAL PRIESTHOOD MEETING) and speaker headers, cross-checked against the report's own back-of-book index. Confirmed session and exact date from the report's own dateline (Friday Apr 5 = First Day, Saturday Apr 6 = Second Day plus the Saturday-evening General Priesthood Meeting, Sunday Apr 7 = Third Day); corrected date_precision from month to exact and added the session field (both were previously unset). Added a page-anchored source_url (leaf n99 of conferencereport1963a) in place of the bare item link. Corrected speaker attribution: the printed report's running head reads 'ELDER NATHAN ELDON TANNER' (garbled by OCR to a bare 'ELDER NATHAN'), which the original ingest mistook for a speaker literally named 'Nathan'. Corrected speaker/speaker_id/title/id/filename to Nathan Eldon Tanner, distinct from his other, Church of the Air broadcast, address this conference. The talk's own opening line ('We have just listened to a Prophet of God') confirms President David O. McKay delivered a substantive address immediately prior in this session that was never ingested into the vault at all (see progress notes).
