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.

for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d) 
 
1.  (U) On May 18, 2006, PolCouns shared the revised MOU and 
talking points provided reftel with Deborah Panckhurst of the 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade's (MFAT) Disarmament 
Division.  Panckhurst said that she has also been in contact 
with DOE's Mike Stafford about this issue.   MFAT will 
respond to our changes once the Ministry lawyer involved with 
the MOU, Caroline Bilkey, has reviewed it. 
 
2.  (C) Panckhurst said NZ officials are concerned they will 
face public and opposition criticism if they cannot visit a 
taxpayer-funded assistance project.  DOE has provided some 
indication that other donors have accepted similar 
restrictions, but additional information would be very 
helpful. 
 
3.  (C) We have also told Panckhurst that Embassy is willing 
to approach opposition parties at the highest levels as 
needed, to urge that they not make a political issue of this 
important project.
