The National Security Agency's in-house history of the Venona Project 
(portions of which have been declassified) refers to 700,000 messages (vol. 1, 
page 4).

> Budiansky gives the figure of 750,000 messages intercepted from and to
> the various Soviet intelligence agencies (and embassies), roughly during
> WW II. Nigel West also mentions 750,000.
> 
> Neither Budiansky nor West give any authority for it. There is no
> footnote explaining where the number comes from.
