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.

SUBJECT: PANAMA SEEKS BALANCE ON NAM LEBANON RESOLUTION 
 
REF: STATE 176793 
 
1.  (SBU) Panama will seek a balanced approach on 
Israel/Lebanon issues but cannot guarantee it will vote 
against the NAM resolution on Lebanese children's human 
rights, MFA Sub-Director for Exterior Politics Vladimir 
Franco told Poloff October 24.  Franco said Panama could not 
decide its vote without reading the text of the proposed NAM 
resolution. 
 
2.  (SBU) Franco emphasized that Panama does not necessarily 
support all NAM actions and reiterated Panama's role as a 
balancing voice within the organization.  However, Franco 
said it was difficult for Panama to seek any kind of balance 
unless Israel complies with its obligations from previous UN 
resolutions.  If Israel does not fulfill its obligations, 
there can be no balance, added Franco.  He agreed to pass the 
U.S. non-paper to the MFA Director of Organization Affairs.
