If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

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.

for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d) 
 
1. (C) Deborah Panckhust, officer in the Ministry of Foreign 
Affairs and Trade's (MFAT) Disarmament Division, says that 
MFAT lawyers have now approved the U.S. draft text for the 
Zheleznogorsk MOU.  However, the MOU must now be approved by 
Foreign Minister Winston Peters and Defense Minister Phil 
Goff.  As they had already approved the agreement in 
principle, Panckhurst is optimistic that they will give their 
OK within the week. 
 
2.  (C) Panckhurst said that GNZ is mindful that they must 
spend the proposed funds by June 30, the end of New Zealand's 
fiscal year.  She is hopeful the agreement can be approved 
and signed in time.
