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.

1.  In response to Post's diplomatic note requesting 
information solicited in reftels, the SARG notified Post on 
September 4 that Syrian FM Walid Mu'allim will head the 
Syrian delegation to UNGA, accompanied by his spouse, Sawsan 
al-Khayat.  According to the SARG's diplomatic note, other 
delegation members are:  Deputy FM Faisal Mikdad; Foreign 
Media Director Bushra Kanafani; MFA legal advisor Riad 
al-Daoudi; International Organizations Director Faisal 
al-Hamwi; FM office director Bassam al-Sabbagh; Deputy FM 
office director Hussam el-Din Ala; and Attach Hisham 
al-Qadi.  The delegation is scheduled to arrive in New York 
on September 17, departing on September 26, according to the 
SARG's diplomatic note.  The SARG did not respond to a 
request for information about translation needs, but Mu'allim 
speaks fluent English. 
 
2.  Additionally, Post has recently issued a visa to Deputy 
Minister for Social Affairs and Labor Issa Maldoun, who noted 
on his visa application that he planned to attend the UN's 
September 14-15 meeting on migration and development.  Still 
pending is a visa for Samir Obeido, who works in the FM's 
office and who noted on his application submitted on August 
23 that he would accompany the FM to UNGA sessions.
