Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

  • 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.

SUBJECT: MALAWI REQUESTS END USER AGREEMENT ON HELICOPTERS 
 
REF: A. LILONGWE 829 B. LILONGWE 863 C. LILONGWE 1005 
 
1. (SBU) The Government of Malawi has submitted, via 
diplomatic 
note to the Embassy, a request for an End User, Retransfer 
and Security Assurances agreement covering four UH-1H 
helicopters.  The helicopters, tail numbers 317, 331, 360, 
and 387, are to be donated to Malawi by Taiwan.   Post has no 
objections, but requests further guidance on how to proceed. 
 
2. (SBU) Comment: The helicopters, along with four 
locomotives and four patrol boats, are the latest example of 
how much Taiwan values Malawi's strong support (reftels). 
Taiwan is also funding the building of a new parliament 
building in Lilongwe, and a new road in northern Malawi.
