MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
PROBLEM :
1. To prepare a non-military letter to Mr. E. L. Lull of Salt
Lake City.
FACTS AND DISCUSSION:
2. In a telegram to this Directorate dated 29 July 1952 (AF IN
14051), Mr. Lull states that, based on certain recent data, his
calculations in his book "Daniel and the Atomic Equations of the
Loaves" may be in error by about 2 years.
3. A copy of this book was obtained through the Army Library
from the Library of Congress. It is significant that the latter
classifies the book as BS (Bible).
4. This analyst must plead innocent to any accusation that he
is a theologian. Nonetheless, on the assumption that any infor­

to Intelligence and applying amateur theology, the book was
scanned and the following conclusions derived:
a. Mr. Lull, who is an engineer, has attempted to
establish a correlation between certain significant dates in history
and specific passages in the Testaments and the Book of Mormon
by the use of mathematical analyses.
b. Further, by the same analyses, he arrives at certain
future dates which, by analogy, he concludes are indicative of
extreme significance to the world. One such date is 4 Oct 54. It
is implied that a revelation will be made on that date in fulfillment
of one of Daniel's prophecies in the old Testament and that this
revelation will be a joyous rather than a grievous one.
5. It is assumed that Mr. Lull's statement to the effect that his
calculations may be in error by about 2 years refers to the 4 Oct 54
derivation and, further, that the error is positive, i.e. that the date
