Heavyweight pass: collated against the conferencereport1970sa djvu OCR witness (talk body at OCR lines ~12047-12261, within the General Priesthood Meeting/Fifth Session which the OCR's own session header states convened 'at 7 o'clock p.m. Saturday, October 3, 1970' — date/session fields corrected accordingly, were previously unset to month-only 1970-10-01). Verified speaker_id against the OCR byline 'PRESIDENT N. ELDON TANNER / Second Counselor in the First Presidency,' immediately preceded by President Joseph Fielding Smith's own priesthood-session address (a separate talk, correctly excluded) and followed by Elder Neal A. Maxwell's Church-Educational-System address. Checked for speaker_id collision against the conference's second Tanner file (this-great-audience, a distinct Third Session talk) — confirmed non-duplicative, different sessions and different talks. Found and removed a substantial boundary error: the ingested body had the entirety of Elder Neal A. Maxwell's following address (OCR lines ~12265-13539, including its own 'Amen' and the next speaker's introduction) bled in after Tanner's own 'Amen.' Trimmed the body to end at Tanner's own 'May we do this, I humbly pray, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.' Tanner's own text (OCR lines ~12052-12261) matched the OCR verbatim word-for-word; no OCR garbling found needing correction within it. No authoritative CHL catalog record found distinct from the IA item; source_url retained as the verified IA scan.
