[Heber J. Grant] In your letter of February 4 you ask 'When Elder David O. McKay was chosen to fill the vacancy in the Presidency did he, or did he not lose his right to seniority in the Council of the Twelve?'
The answer is no. When a member of the Council of the Twelve is called into the quorum of the First Presidency he retains his place of seniority in the Council of the Twelve.
