Heavyweight pass: verified source as the Church History Library-contributed Internet Archive scan conferencereport1966sa (136th Semi-Annual Conference, held Fri Sep 30 - Sun Oct 2, 1966). Rebuilt page reading order from the scan's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) and cross-checked every talk boundary against the report's own exhaustive back-of-book index (leaf n145-150), which lists every address with its own page range and sub-topic headings -- as with 1966 April, this conference's original ingest had split most talks into two-to-three separate fragment files, which the index made it possible to correctly identify and merge. Confirmed session and exact date from the report's own dateline (Friday Sep 30 = First Day, Saturday Oct 1 = Second Day plus the Saturday-evening General Priesthood Meeting, Sunday Oct 2 = 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 n101 of conferencereport1966sa) in place of the bare item link. This is President Hugh B. Brown's Third Day Morning address, distinct from his many brief conducting remarks elsewhere in this conference. The kept file's own opening had absorbed President N. Eldon Tanner's brief announcer/choir transition preceding Brown's real remarks; retained as the session's natural lead-in. Merged with a further file that was a fragment of this same discourse split apart during the original ingest (previously ID'd under the nonexistent speaker 'Hi', a running-head bleed of 'HUGH B. BROWN').
