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.

REF: STATE 002240 
 
1.  (SBU) In response to reftel questions on application 
#050021165, the Embassy has verified that Apeqs-Cotela C.A. 
is the Harris Corporation's Ecuadorian representative.  We 
have also verified the validity of the pending $8,000 
Ecuadorian Joint Command order for spare Harris radio parts. 
The U.S. Military Group (MILGP) has dealt with Apeqs-Cotela 
as the local Harris Corporation representative since 2001, 
noting Apeqs-Cotela's involvement in over $3 million in 
Harris Corporation transactions.  Apeqs-Cotela currently 
assists with product delivery, inventory review, and training 
for new radio systems purchased by the MILGP for the 
Ecuadorian military. 
 
2.  (SBU) Based on the information provided, we believe 
Apeqs-Cotela to be a reliable recipient of USML items.
