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.

SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED.  PLEASE PROTECT ACCORDINGLY. 
 
(SBU) Per Ref A request, contacts at the International Department of 
the Ministry of Health and Social Development have told us their 
ministry would be in charge of the distribution of pandemic 
influenza assistance in the case of a human pandemic.  Russia has 
not yet adopted a comprehensive avian and pandemic influenza 
preparedness plan.  A draft plan is being reviewed by WHO, but needs 
further refinement (Ref B).  The draft mentions the general need to 
coordinate and collaborate with WHO, but does not discuss who would 
distribute assistance.
