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.

REF: A. SECSTATE 108776 
 
     B. MADRID 1806 
 
1. We discussed the status of Spain's pledge for Iraq 
reconstruction with Directorate General of International 
Finance Technical Adviser Ines Menendez de Luarca Bellido. 
Menendez said that her Director General and Secretary of 
State for Economy have not yet been able to discuss this 
matter with the new Vice President and Minister of Economy 
Pedro Solbes. 
 
2. Menendez expects this conversation to take place shortly. 
She confidently predicts Spain will begin the disbursement 
process of its 2004 multilateral pledges from the Madrid 
Donors' Conference, which include USD 20 million for the 
IRFFI and USD 5 million for the IFC Small Business Facility, 
shortly thereafter.  The bureaucratic procedure for 
assistance transfer requires approximately one month.  She 
could not offer any information on new assistance plans.
