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.  (SBU) EconPolCouns delivered reftel demarche on November 
17 to Peter Huber, the acting A/S-equivalent UN Affairs head 
at the Austrian MFA. 
 
2.  (SBU) Huber noted that EU countries had split in their 
votes on the issue in the UN Security Council, with France 
and Greece voting "yes" and the UK, Denmark and Slovakia 
abstaining.  He said EU UN Ambassadors were meeting as we 
spoke (0900 EDT), and would try to hammer out a consensus 
position.  He said that if there were a consensus, it would 
most likely be for an abstention.  However, if there were no 
consensus, some EU member states would vote "yes" and some 
would abstain -- there would probably be no "no" votes.  In 
the event of a split, Austria would vote with the larger bloc 
of EU countries.
