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.

(C) Emboff delivered reftel points to MFA Human Rights Unit 
Director Johanna Suurpaa on August 25.  In subsequent 
discussions, MFA Political Director Pilvi-Sisko 
Vierros-Villenueve welcomed Washington's firm position in 
favor of delaying Kazakhstan's bid to chair the OSCE past 
ΒΆ2009.  Vierros-Villeneuve said that Finland had been 
concerned to note that Germany appeared to favor Almaty's 
candidacy, and she hoped that quiet but firm opposition from 
the U.S. may be sufficient to persuade Kazakhstan to defer to 
some of the better qualified candidates running for the 2009 
chairmanship.
