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.

SUBJECT: SPAIN AGREES WITH BROAD DEFINITION OF UNSCR 1747 
"ARMS AND RELATED MATERIEL" 
 
REF: STATE 67462 
 
ΒΆ1. (SBU) ESTOFF and POLOFF delivered reftel points on May 18 
to MFA Disarmament Affairs Deputy Director General Ignacio 
Sanchez and MFA Counselor for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and 
Disarmament Carlos Torres, conveying Department views on the 
need to interpret broadly operative Paragraph 5 of UNSCR 1747 
that prohibits Iran's supply, sale, or transfer of "any arms 
or related material."  Sanchez said that the Government of 
Spain is in agreement with the U.S. definition of Paragraph 5 
and agreed that the key tenets of 1747 should be "applied 
broadly."  Sanchez also agreed with EMBOFFs assertion of the 
importance of strong, consistent standards in implementing 
1747 by all UN member states.
