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.

1.  (SBU) The office of Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) 
Under Secretary Sayyid Badr al-Busaidi has confirmed that the 
Under Secretary will be available to conduct the next round 
of Gulf Security Dialogue (GSD) talks in Washington, D.C. the 
morning of June 18.  Sayyid Badr has requested that he be 
allowed to present an overview of Oman's policy goals and 
security situation at the beginning of the talks.  He has 
further asked that the U.S. provide an agenda and read-ahead 
briefing materials as soon as possible so that the Omani 
government can timely determine what other officials should 
be included in its GSD delegation. 
 
2.  (SBU) Comment:  Sayyid Badr was the principal Omani 
interlocutor for the first round of GSD talks in Muscat on 
October 17, 2006 (ref C).  He also received Acting ASD Mary 
Beth Long during this year's U.S.-Oman Joint Military 
Commission (ref B).  Given the importance of the read-ahead 
information, post seeks to directly participate in the 
drafting of briefing documents for the GSD.  End Comment.
