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 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: COMMENTS ON POTENTIAL OPIC SUPPORT FOR BALTIMORE 
DREDGES CONTRACT WITH THE MINISTRY OF WATER RESOURCES 
 
REF: STATE 46262 
 
1.  Post has no information to report on the Iraq Ministry of 
Water Resources (MoWR) that would prevent OPIC support.  The 
MoWR is a national level agency within the Government of Iraq 
responsible for management of Iraq's ground and surface 
waters.  The Ministry's annual capital investment budget 
ranges from $200 million to $300 million and is used to fund 
a wide variety of construction projects as well as procure 
equipment and materials to support the Ministry's operation 
of water resources infrastructure.  As part of its overall 
capital investment program, the Ministry has procured 
dredgers from US-based contractors in the past.  Post has no 
evidence or knowledge that would lead us to believe the 
Ministry would wrongfully call the performance bond.  In 
addition, Post has no evidence or knowledge that the Ministry 
has any ties to terrorism, money laundering, corruption or 
other violations of domestic law. 
 
2.  Post has no information about the Iraq Development 
Corporation.
