Ingestion of a missing discourse (McKay's opening address on free agency and the temptations of appetite, pride, and worldly power, First Day Morning Meeting) omitted from the earlier heavyweight pass over this conference. Rebuilt page reading order from conferencereport1963sa's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py); confirmed this is a genuine discourse (not a running head) by tracing every 'PRESIDENT DAVID O. McKAY' occurrence across the volume. Talk boundary verified against the surrounding running heads and session dateline (Friday Oct 4 = First Day Morning Meeting). Renumbered talk_order within this session to seat this address first, shifting the existing Tanner and Monson talks (sustaining-related remarks following this address) to talk_order 2 and 3 respectively. Matches the session/talk_order/witnesses schema already in use across this conference's other files (a newer convention than earlier-ingested conferences in this vault), and the 1956-10/1957-04/1958-04/1958-10/1959-04/1959-10/1961-04/1961-10/1962-04/1962-10/1963-04/1969-10 precedent for reinserting missing McKay discourses generally.
