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.

MBDA France Missile Systems Contract Management Department 
Head Patrick Bernard contacted the Embassy by fax with 
additional information regarding license 05-1004053 for the 
export of recorders, producers, and related equipment to 
France.  Bernard confirmed MBDA's order of MSSR-2000-SA 
recording equipment from EXPAN, located at 22, rue Mozart, 
92110 Clichy, France.  Bernard said that they have not had 
difficulties with EXPAN during previous orders.  Bernard 
confirmed that the order would be used only for MBDA itself, 
not the French Armed forces, to test the parameters of 
acquisitions in the EXOCET AM39 missile program in France, as 
noted in the May 2006 end-use statement.
