Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

(SBU) A/DCM passed Ref A answers regarding the $1 billion 
financial assistance package to Treasury Deputy U/S Aydin 
Karaoz May 12.  Karaoz said that, based on the May 9 
Babacan-Taylor phone conversation, he understood the USG 
would prepare and present a draft financial agreement, after 
which the GOT would send a technical team to Washington to 
discuss it.  A/DCM said his understanding was that U/S Taylor 
had undertaken to get back to Minister Babacan early this 
week about next steps, and that all concerned seemed to agree 
that technical discussions would take place in Washington.
