This site: https://mormonmissionprep.com/news/numb ... sionaries/ says that the church first started reporting missionary numbers in 1977.

Other sites say that during Vietnam, an agreement was reached which limited missionaries leaving to 1 per ward, every six months (basically two per ward per year). For example, https://bycommonconsent.com/2012/02/19/ ... deferrals/

Hope that helps.

This^ is a link to the statistical report from Conference 1971. It’s a video so not sure what it reports.
Googling “LDS general conference <insert year>” was how I found it.

We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')
