Understanding cables

  • 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.

1.     Dutch Minister for Development Cooperation Agnes van 
Ardenne announced at the September 21 Dubai international 
donors meeting that the Netherlands would contribute EUR 82.5 
million (USD 95 million) to Afghanistan reconstruction over 
the period of 2003-2006.  The money will be directed to the 
Afghan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF).  Ms. Marit van 
Zomeren of the MFA's Southern Asia Division provided the 
following breakdown of the Dutch pledge: 
 
-- 2003 -- EUR 35 million (EUR 17.5 million of this total 
already distributed since Sept 21 announcement) 
-- 2004 -- EUR 17.5 million 
-- 2005 -- EUR 15 million

also provide a small amount of bilateral funding to a handful 
of select projects (ref B) in Afghanistan, but the MFA has 
not released any details.
